You can call me TC

My other alter ego, BTW, seems to be a French National Front local politican.

My dad's been tempted to pretend to be his. The Mike Salmon who is my dad is a scientist who works on rheumatology and immunology - funky biological stuff. However, there is another biologist called Mike Salmon, only he spends all his time in boats following turtles. More fun than examining synovial fluid samples, yes? smiley - smiley

smiley - yikesIf I do a search on google for the name I use at work and then look at the images, apparently I'm friends with someone called Katie Foss who lives in Tuscon, Arizona, which is slightly strange as I've never been to Tuscon, Arizona and I've never met Katie Foss ... smiley - yikes
