Who is this fictional person of whom you speak?

Chris Lusk for Principal!

Seriously though, any interesting thoughts about who it might be?

So Brian's leaving is he?

Can anyone tell me then if he's got round to having an overly-large, ego-stroking portrait of himself made yet? I so did enjoy looking at Struther Arnott's when I was still in St Andrews and would like to think there's a Lang version hanging around today.

I think you'll find that Principal Arnott's got three full-lengths kicking around the University...

I'd quite like to see the official photograph that Dr Lang had done when he was new to the job done up as a portrait for the ages - the one where he's waving that CD-ROM around for no particular reason. T'was a good shot.

It'd be a disgrace if Brian had a portrait. Gawd, that would be like damn near every Principal we ever had. How dare he.

Eh? Presumably this is sarcasm but I never noticed a post which suggested that Lang shouldn't get a portrait - only some flippant remarks on what it might look like.

I think you're going a bit ahead of the discussion there exnihilo...

There was an advert for his job in The Economist this week. I thought of applying, with the covering letter reading "Give me the job so I can pay back my fees you goons".

Mr Comedy - have you any use for a wet-nosed maths PhD?
