Hey Andrew,

as it happens, I'll be in Cambridge next week and I thought to myself, it 
would be the perfect opportunity to meet you in person (or for that 
matter, everbody else, who's interested).
Don't be scared of me ;) I'm pretty much like you are.

Mail me, if you'd like - I'm sure I could hire a car for that occasion.

Greetings,
Micha

I'm out in Uxbridge at the moment which is the other side of London. Otherwise I
would be delighted to come along. But don't let that stop you.

Try to imagine the scene: A weird-looking English bloke, and a German 
doctor of physics, sitting at a table in an historic English country 
pub, comparing their USB flash drives. I fear some of the patrons may 
have concluded that we were both very, very strange...

So, would that have constituted a misinterpretation? :-P

I wish I could have made it but it looks like I'll be going up to Chester soon.
(To glow in the dark :-)

I'm glad you had fun.

  Is that what they call it nowadays? Hard to keep with youth slang...

Chester?? Uxbridge not good enough for you? Or is it that it's just that
little bit closer to Scotland?

URENCO perhaps?

No, to quote Andrew, it was *great* fun!
Really, I've got a sore throat from talking that much (and that loud for 
completeness' sake). It was totally worth the trouble of hiring a car, 
crawling through Cambridge rush hour traffic and driving home past 
midnight. So many more things to say, so little time... oh well!

So after personal contact and close examination of our mascot, I will 
hereby declare Andrew a perfectly normal human being. :)

Let's see, maybe there will be another opportunity... 

BTW Andy, I've finally managed to register to your blog. Now waiting for 
new entries! ;)

Yes I've met Andrew twice and I too had a good time.

I would not go that far :-) :-P

It is nice to meet people when you are travelling.

I don't have to define it, it's a built-in identifier. And since we are 
still on *povray*.o-t, note I used the correct "declare" too ;)

Usually when people say I'm "special" it's a polite way of saying I'm a 
total loser. I'd much prefer to be called normal over that.

I went to a high school, it was built on a hill.

I thought special also often means gay.

If you had been normal, you would not have been our mascot, you would 
not have been the subject of a comic, and you would have had a better 
job with a matching wife. 'you are unique, just like everybody else'

Well *that's* the reason my scene didn't render! Maybe I should check my
codes sometimes :-P.
