There was a single incident that still played strongly in my mind though it happened almost a decade ago, something to do with football, Britain and the Aussie visitors.
During one fine day in a meeting room of Human Genome Centre, I was sweating profusely as the honorable Aussie visitors from Adelaide University was about to reach the department and I would be the one giving the welcoming talk; a short introduction of the department and the school. Nonetheles, being rehearsing the presentation for the xth times, I was ready, or thought so.
Once they made the entrance the atmosphere was very serious and there I was standing and blabbing, remembering every words.
“As for the training, at the moment, we have a student studying in the Manchester United…..”
Silence.
Opss…
“Manchester University.”
Laughter.
The Aussie Professor smiled for the first time, “Everything is about David Beckam nowadays.”
“Yes, Bend It Like Beckam.”
