Fantastic.

Hello Maxine!
I discover that I can slurp St Pancras’ wifi net workand liveblog the blogger’s dinner.
Your task is to guess who said, “A thousand words between Norwich and Colchester” and “This is not that sort of website”?
In can guess, but I’m not saying.
I can report that Henry and Richard arm-wrestled, and after much grunting and sweating and general pissing-off of the waitstaff, it was declared an honorable draw.
haha, this is better than tv shows :)
Yes but Matt has better photos
Photo Booth isn’t that good at long range shots…
And how can a photo of Maxine by surpassed by anything?

Regrettably, the Gee/Grand Face-off Mudwrestle did not make it through to the Unconference final cut…
Which one’s Maxine? ;-)
Is this the first time that that word has been used (1) in a NN title and (2) on NN anywhere? If yes, then all I can say is that the identity of the perpetrator does not fill me with surprise ;-)
That Word has been used in Nature only three times in its history, according to our search engine. Twice in 1943, and once in 1976.
Hi Richard, nice to meet you (ultra briefly) at the dinner on Friday. The question I meant to ask you, but never got the chance was:
How did you convince your funding body to pay for the trip?
I’m intrigued to know because I’m interested in how you can sell blogging to our funding friends who dish out the cash.
Actually Duncan, it wasn’t my funding body, it was the Faculty/Dept.
OK, so how did you sell it to your department? I’m just curious… (it might come in useful at a later date you see)
Yes, Duncan, try it out on them for a train fare to London on 24 Sept to the BL evening. There was chocolate last time so it is definitely worth a shot.
