Nerd?

Today’s episode of All In The Mind on Radio 4 with the ubiquitous Prof. Raj Persaud became intensely amusing to me as a I channel-surfed the car radio, mainly because there was an intensely earnest discussion about gifted children taking place in which one of the contributors was a Professor John Geake (or Geek, if you will). I don’t know about gifted child, but I’m pretty sure that he had seventeen varieties of poo beaten out of him when he was at school with a name like that.
