I had the good fortune to hang out, briefly, with Chris Heilmann after the London Web Standards Group meet-up this week.
As we stood outside the pub, a very nice, but rather inebriated, young lady staggered past with her friends, looked at Chris and went, “It’s Simply Red! I want my photo with Simply Red!”. I laughed at ‘Mick Hucknall’ until she turned, stared hard at me and said, “You. You’re that guy. You know the one. That one. The lady in red.” I stopped laughing, but I let her take her photo with me. A gentleman always accedes to a lady’s requests.
Chr*s de f*cking B*rgh my arse!
lol, you tellin’ the truth? I heard she thought you were Patrick Stewart… 😉
Chris de Burgh? I’m so, so, sorry Jim.
Is there some kind of support group you can join?
…and as for Dan, just ignore the nasty man.
Patrick Stewart would be fine – he is Professor Charles Xavier, after all.
Oh, and I should note that when I wrote ‘rather inebriated’ I meant ‘completely wasted.’
Hey, I was just trying to make Jim feel better. If I ever have the misfortune to be mistaken for Chr*s de f*cking B*rgh I hope someone would do the same for me…
The Mick Hucknall and Chris de Burgh of the Web.
ah, I know Chris from Agilisys (netdecisions) and I can agree what a guru he is.
Hey, any jobs at the Maritime Museum coming up? in the web department. I did two years at the British Museum as web editor/designer and am carrying on with commercial web experience – fiddling and loving all things CSS and all the joys.
I would love to be kept posted about vacancies with the Maritime.
ciao and best
Rich
