The angle of the dangle............
Lovely guy but a tad wierd , our Roger. 30 something,probably. Hard to tell with a youthfull face but a hairline receding faster than a fast thing.Still lived with mum and dad and dressed in frayed trousers and a hand knitted pullie with holes abounding and bits a dangling. Roger was terribly passionate about 2 things, trains and land law. An odd combination, very much like his clothes.
His perfect holiday was spent in Wales timing the narrow track trains and they chuffed wearily up the hills and down again. I mentioned at the end of term that I was catching the train home, from Nottingham to Torquay. Not only did his cranial biocomputer instantly regurgitate the best train to catch from Nottingham it was also able to instantly advise on the platform it left from, the arrival time in Newton Abbot, the time of the connecting train and the platform that train left from. Awesome!!! I digress, slightly....Roger's greatest (weirdest) lecturing feat occured on a sunny June day in a small tutorial room witnessed by, sadly, just half a dozen bleary eyed and reluctant students. The room itslf was errrm compact (shame about the personal hygene, Rog'....) fortunately the tinted windows were large and swiveled a full 90 degrees on the spiggots mounted in the middle of the top and bottom of the frame.
Suffice to say Roger was in enthusiastic mid flow on some archaic irrelavance sitting on the window sill and leaned back agaisnst an apparently shut window...................
Well yes OBVIOUSLY he fell out, but only a man of true wierdness, eccentricity, call it what you like, would have the good fortune to catch on foot under the window AND carry on lecturing,upside down, without so much as missing a beat, whilst we hauled him back in.
(No animals/students/ lecturers were harmed in this story)
