Never Meet Your Heroes
They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne

I was once introduced to Rolf Landauer.
Picture the scene...
Mike: "Rolf, this is (haberman)"
Rolf: /nods vaguely
Mike: "He is doing his PhD with Peter D"
Rolf: /sudden recognition
I assume he had realised I was the guy who'd recently written a quantum follow-up to his classic 1961 paper "Frequency factors in the thermally activated process". Either that, or I'm imagining the whole thing. Now that'd be disappointing.
Rolf Landauer?
