guess who I saw today

Ruz · Jul 2006

Yea I was in Cambridge today, sitting ia pub with my ex and I was kind of idly looking out of the window and right in my eyeline appeared stephen hawking.
He kind of looked at me, dribbling quite a bit. His helper then wiped him off.
felt a bit sorry for him really. His face looked kind of healthy compared to on tv , but he had a kind of sad look on his face.

danr · Jul 2006

you know you could probably copyright and sell the wording of that post?

Ruz · Jul 2006

yeah I could have just said 'I saw stephen hawking today'. I do tend to ramble a bit after a few beers, but it was just odd seeing someone so famous in the flesh and obviously in distress

danr · Jul 2006

sorry ... i'm still laughing ...

edit - sorry, i really can't stop. Comedy gold, comedy gold

Can he even control his facial expression?

Daz · Jul 2006

I actually wanna know more about why you're sat in a pub with your ex Ruz!

Rick Stirling · Jul 2006

He recorded the message for my answerphone.

Ruz · Jul 2006

well me and her are getting on a lot better these days Daz. Been seeing each other most weekends, but today we were house hunting for my new job which starts aug 29th.
Actually managed to find a place within a 10 min walk of the science park. Tesco is right next to my house too

yeah re his facial expression, its hard to explain , but he just looked kind of sad somehow. (probably because I gave him a chinese burn)

You should have given him the "two thumbs up - 'Hey dude!'" gesture. I'm sure he would have been chuffed that you know who he is.

I remember that I saw him first on Star Trek:TNG before I even knew who he was. I had always wondered why Data would play poker with Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstien and some wheelchair bound dude. At least he has claim on TV star and genious. Haha

Asherr · Jul 2006

he also guest starred in an episode of Futurama.

the segment with Hawking starts 2minutes in.

Daz · Jul 2006

Does that mean a reconciliation might be on the cards then Ruz? Damn, your talk of sitting in pubs in Cambridge makes me so homesick

Pubs on riversides in the summertime, that's what I miss! When will Americans learn to put pubs on riversides?! It's a crime I tell you!

So yeah, Stephen Hawking. Rick, you might need to get a new answerphone message. He has a new voice now apparently. He upgraded to neospeech. http://www.neospeech.com/demo/demo_text.php

Well, at least we have 'pubs'... ever been to Brittania Arms down in this area, Daz? (And yah, been to a few pubs by the riverside in England in the summertime... nice

)

Daz · Jul 2006

I have actually mate. It's a good'n, but a little far out of my way.

Yah, understandable. Dunno what the scene for pubs is like around SF; couple of good fish n chips places around here as well.

Ruz · Jul 2006

yeah me and the wifey are just taking it easy right now, Daz.
Not sure what the future may bring.

But yeah we went to Milton village and my new landlord took us around the local pubs.Had a great day out. Loads of tourists were 'punting' on the river in the city centre, though I thought 10 quid was a bit steep

Yeah hawking could n't seem to lift his head as his carer had to do that for him. seems like he has very little movement left.

guess who I saw today
