Jammy but deserved - after all you've got to have some fringe benefits to all that diligent reviewing. Hope the interview goes well. I am suitably replete with jealousy.

However, I'm sure George could enlighten us of the protocol. It’s Dr. Bloomer, btw, I didn’t slave over those Tau Leptons for three years to be called Mr. ;-)
