Sorry to spoil it for you but
he dies in the end.
Just to point out that if he didn’t his biography would not have a finite number of pages and therefore by definition any biography you can hold in your hand is of someone who dies in (at, actually!) the end.he dies in the end.
Got to go, that weird quiz with Victoria coren is on
Just this afternoon I explained to the missus what bore wash is and how it occurs, she just sat there looking at me stupid...
I'm also a sound technician and I know what ALL the knobs do...
So no, I'm not nerdy at all.
Actually, my daughter once said I'm the most 'man like' person she knows, I took it as a huge compliment.![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

How does a Physic degree lead to a career as a Manufacturing Engineer?
Apply for job, get job ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I know plenty in the field with Physics, and even Maths, degrees. Many Engineering degrees probably have more in common with a Physics degree than they do with practical, hands on shop floor work/experience.
This inevitably leads to the age old apprenticeship vs university debate...

Once, some 13 years ago, my daughter then aged 14, decided that the best insult she could think for her Dad was to call me "Gay". I'm not sure why this amused me so much. I'm also a sound technician and I know what ALL the knobs do...

I just spent a chunk of the afternoon watching 5-7 min videos of people from the different areas of Denmark talking about themselves and their region, to highlight the different dialects of Danish (a lot of them moaning about how they are looked down upon by people from Sjælland / Copenhagen).
When I was at school (a long time ago now) I sought validation by trying to hang out with the in crowd. Only now, many years later I realise that deep down I am a nerd and should have been out and proud (so to speak!)
So where would you put yourself on the scale?
