Rob in Micro Mart

You know you've made it big when you are in Micro Mart. At the end of yesterday's lecture I was shown a picture of my ugly mug staring out of page 94 of issue 997 of Micro Mart magazine. It was part of an article about Social Gaming, and I had been quoted saying sensible things about XNA (I must have been caught on one of my "sensible days" - which are getting fewer and further between these days).

Of course I shot over to the Students Union and bought a copy of the magazine (incidentally, and I've no idea why this should be the case, but our Students Union shop has an absolutely fantastic range of magazines. There are titles there that I've had bother finding in other places. Kudos.)

Anyhoo, I like the magazine. And not just because it has me in it. For a weekly magazine it has some very good editorial content and it made a very good lunchtime read. Of course the downside is that it also has lots of adverts for stuff, and so it might have proved a rather expensive purchase.....

I'm sure you'll be equally excited to know that you're about to feature in upcoming 08120 tutorials too! ;P

When is a candle more than just a candle? When it's JML Mandle Candle.

In reality we should add your name to list of notable people to have come from Hull, or reside in Hull depending. You'd be up there with the greats, Maureen Lipman and Jon Culshaw !
Also, shouldn't the magazine of informed you about using your picture ?

Not only have I come from Hull, but I'm still here!

I did get a call about the article and since the picture is on the internet I guess it is fair game.

Surprising since your accent dropped no hints of where you come from, if I was to hazard a guess prior to finding about the above, I would have said you were from (dare I say it) Birmingham.
