Adrian Harvey...

...was in Aberdeen on Friday to conduct a PhD viva. I bumped into him in the corridor and he said hello without prompting, which surprised me slightly, but I didn't see him again since he fled back to Liverpool as soon as the viva was over. Amusingly, it turns out everyone who's ever come across him seems to think that a) he's at least a million years old, and b) he really should be a member of the Rolling Stones, with his Keith Richards looks and his tendency to suddenly talk like Mick Jagger. Hortonian Overland Flooooooooooooow, man. Maybe he could play Johnny Depp's old man in Pirates of the Caribbean III.

Anyway, Stuart (the man being viva-ed) said he was glad we'd not told him all these things beforehand as it might have undermined the seriousness of his PhD defence.

I think Craig Saint is getting married here in Aberdeen on Saturday, but sadly I shan't be around as I am going down to the Midlands for the weekend.

A lovely day in Aberdeen

Its a lovely sunny day here in north-east Scotland and I had no fork with which to eat my lunch. So I went out wandering, looking for a cutler or some other passing vendor of eating implements. Instead I bumped into Craig. Yes, GPG's very own Ken just happened to be strolling along minding his own business when I leapt out from an archway and accosted him. Turns out he lives and works here in Aberdeen, and often crosses paths with another legendary GPG figure.........Burn Stu!

I am going to email him this blogspot address and we will soon have another Liverpudlian refugee to swell the ranks. A reunion for real was also discussed, but Craig has to get married first. I am going to go out wandering again this afternoon and see if I bump into Shrimpy.
