I believe that Das is only 2ft 6ins tall poor chap. It was all he
could do to hold the camera up!

I can second that - he had to stand on my shoulders to reach the lock on the
door of the Leicester Uni 16" scope

So he could learn to swim in the bath at home. Didn't need to go to
uni for his BSc. Bet the top up fees were less too.

Top up the bath?

Das is a PhD which stands for Professional Hardened Drinker I think.
I assume that when he uses his Dr. that it stands for "Drunk".

I might be wrong though. I'm only assuming that this is the case from
the content of the emails he sends me.

If he's 2'6" either you are the same height or that lock's not placed
very well.

It's a very big door

:P

I've been told before that it takes a professional to achieve this
with a drinker, but of, course, I have no direct experience

Well of course neither would he because it's made up.
