Yes, we took the obligatory picture! Quite the honour to stand next to the man I consider to be the greatest scholar of early Christianity in the whole world (Richard Bauckham is to his right!)

I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. Less well known is that I am also the original writer of the now famous song “Beans, beans, good for your heart…”, and inventor of the “you must have fallen out of the stupid/ugly tree” repertoire of insults. I am the main proponent of the Human Faecal Matter for Brains Opening in chess (actually not what I wanted to call my brilliant and original opening Knight manoeuvre 1.Na3, 2.Nc1), and I also claim to have independently discovered the haiku™ poetry form (© Copyright Chris Tilling 2007) without any help from the Japs. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way.

Will the centre have audio available?
I hope you gave him your autograph. :-)
Steph did you know that Baukham will be in Australia this year? It might be worth a dash across the Tasman!
Please don't ever wash your right shoulder. If you're not too homophobic, I'll be rubbing shoulders with you if ever we meet…
Jason you utter git.
Dan, sorry, no audio available for a while. Perhaps some time down the road, we'll have a chat about that at staff meeting perhaps.
I've met him in the UK. I'm dashing across to the UK soon as it happens but not to see Bauckham. He has been a good critical scholar although I'm not enamoured with his recent work and I'm certainly not enamoured with him. I'm just hoping he was suitably enamoured with our dear Chris.
sorry Mark - that comment was addreseed to Mark.
