I used to work with a guy called Eno's (after Eno's Fruit Salts) because "He knows everything." The annoying thing about it was that he really did. He had a wonderful range of knowledge and practical skills and he didn't mind helping anybody out. Good man. Bloody annoying at times.
There was this very funny story (Whirrrrr, pop!) that would take a bit of telling (and I'm just cooking lunch) but I might add it later.
