I don’t normally have much time for videos on weblogs, but I’m making an exception for Sir Paul.
Note added in proof.
Oh for goodness’ sake. I can’t embed the video. It’s here. When are we getting MT4?

Raising being quoted out of context to an art form: 'awesome, but not always right'. Drinks well with scientists.

Nice little piece. Was he the head of the ICRF?
Here’s the correct link.
He was, when I used to work there. I was actually in a Christmas panto with him, which is the closest I’ll ever get to a Nobel Prize. The Fifth Floor was notorious for its pantos – he was forced to play Captain Kirk in a Star Trek/Titantic hybrid sketch. He was a surprisingly good sport.
Ha ha!
My memories of his lectures, and of when he gave a seminar at the LMB, were similarly of a ‘surprisingly good sport’.
If your hero, Jenny, is Peyton Rous, mine might well have the initials PMN.
Hmmm. I think opinion was divided over his reign at ICRF. The merger with CRC to form CRUK ruffled quite a few feathers.
Hm, I wonder if you overlapped with a friend of mine, who worked for Peter Goodfellow at the Lincoln’s Inn Fields site. This would have been around 1991-1993ish, which might be a bit earlier than you though.
Who, me?
No, the one who worked at the ICRF. Jenny. Do keep up.
Well, it’s not that easy being omnipresent you know.
