What's happened this time is that that vomiting pen of his has just
got a new refill and it's your turn to be the scribble pad. Serves
you right for having the impertinence to challenge the great man,
especially when you must have known what the response would be. Look
after yourself, mate. Like me, just *never* try to discuss a
technical point with him. Unless you're one of the professionals with
whom he is temporarily trying to curry favour you'll be rubbished,
belittled and bellowed at and it simply ain't worth the candle.

Talk about currying favour, you should see him at local Devon GA
meetings. He's only to see someone with the title "Prof" and he's
sucking up to him.
