The eyes have it!

This is a non-OU post but comes as way of explanation. You may have noticed that the picture of me in my profile isn't really me [Ed; you're kidding surely!]. In fact it is a composite picture - the main face is a large metal construction that sits outside the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury (Incidentally, the Marlowe Theatre is named after Christopher Marlowe, tragic contemporary fellow playwright of one William Shakespeare. Marlowe was born in Canterbury but left it. Geoffrey Chaucer, on the other-hand, was born in London and, rather famously, wrote about Canterbury. But we don't have a Chaucer Theatre - just Chaucer Hotel).

But the eyes are real - but not mine. In fact they are taken from a photo that I took of my daughter a few years ago - thats kind of spooky I know - and I haven't yet owned up to her about that!

Its not too dissimilar from how I really look - although I don't have the crinkly top to my head [Ed: have you looked at your self in the mirror recently?].

One day, when the world is ready for it, I might put a picture of the real me there instead. You have been warned!
