I was talking to a couple of people at a public event a couple of days ago. One chap looked at my name badge, and he thought he recognised my name. He asked....

"Are you famous?"

I answered with a quick "no", but I suppose I'm not exactly unknown in my scientific discipline. Indeed, I have been asked at conferences whether I am the Secrets in Symmetry. :cool:

Are you famous?

I've been described as a legend by a few people if that counts.

I used to be asked from time to time if I was one of the Proclaimers lol.

In fact when I was working in Savannah Georgia, a photographer stopped me and thought I was one of them. I should have led him on and belted out "Letter From America"

I'm infamous in respect to my postings on renewable energy on this forum. I was reliably informed by an insider that Caithness Windfarm Information Forum members discussed at length at one of their meetings on how they would rotate between themselves to reply to my postings.

I seemed to once be rather infamous on the Org as "That arrogant and ignorant sixteen year old student who knew nothing about the real world". Weirdly this went on for more than one year...

I knew CWIF were a bunch of jokers, but I didn't know they needed to gang up on you systematically to survive! :cool:

However, your more recent ones are no better than your oldest ones.... Have you not grown up since then? :cool:

Windups aside, you should try being famous without knowing why - it's a bizarre experience....

Think I was once called a Legend, but then again the guy did have a speech impediment so it could have been Leg end :-(
