@kinyutaka @kim_harding I would. I remember him because we both got doctorates conferred in the same ceremony along with Martin Rees.

I wouldn't do the big suck-up fuss that others were doing, though. The groupies were out of control.

I'm not a huge Beatles fan or anything, but I'd probably still squeal like a little girl if he got off his stop and posted on Facebook about me just treating him like a normal bloke.

@kinyutaka @kim_harding I was annoyed that, as he and the other honorary candidates were processed in – all within arm's reach – the fuss layered on this particular guy was conspicuously undermining the others. The situation needed much better management for the honorary degrees to make the value statements that they're meant to.
