The great Marcus Hanwell returned to Sheffield this week. He gave a talk yestereday on his work in Pittsburgh - it was great to see him discuss "Marcus Theory" without so much as a flinch. The two of us (everyone else had gone off elsewhere) spent an enjoyable hour in the Interval Bar supping a wonderful pint (one each) of Moonshine and eating a bag of salt and vinegar McCoys - heaven. I also got the great man laughing by telling him two fo my favourite jokes - the one about the beer barrel on the 1700s sailing ship, and the other about the three sisters with big hands!
No! Of course I can't tell them on my blog!!
Great to see Marcus again. He's around most of next week if any of you want to phone him or email him or catch up in person. Ciao for niao, Timbiao

The great Marcus Hanwell? Don't encourage him!
The beer and the crisps were excellent! Thank you very much for hosting me and sparing no expense ;-)
