Big fan since I was 10. Not a "big" writer, but no one (but Céline) has made me laugh more whilst reading…

Just learned what a boffin was… hadn't heard that term until today.

What is a boffin?

Also, people who hold internet grudges are silly.

[tigerpac]

A boffin is British slang for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific work. The original World War II conception of war-winning researchers means that the character tends to have more positive connotations than related characterisations like egghead, nerd, or geek. -per wikipedia
