I am now a professor at the university of Cambridge

Congratulations! Teaching classics I assume? Smoking a pipe, wearing robes, and having sherry with lunch?

When will you be adding the elbow patches

Excellent work!

Dave!

Very nice

The robes vary day to day which is interesting. An opportunity to consume port on the daily.

Thanks Mik and long awaited - couple of months before I start so maybe that driving holiday around Scotland is a good idea!

Congrats!

Please purchase a pipe.

Blimey, well done

Professor of ...medicine? Er, health? (I know you were a doctor but that's where my knowledge ended)

Technically I am Professor of cardiology at the university of Cambridge and honorary consultant cardiologist at royal Papworth hospital

Congrats

Aorta shake you by the hand! I bet you're pumped

Well done!

Many congrats - that is a proper achievement. Are you associated with a college? In Oxford the colleges are where the port lives

I don’t know if you may recall a chap on here at least 20 years ago with the username RobbieD; he was an IP lawyer who lived in or around Papworth. Lovely guy who died about 2009 from memory; sudden aggressive cancer. If only it had been heart problems he’d have been in the right place.

Well done sir! What colour are you going for? (I assume all professors pick a colour - professor green, professor plum..)

Esteemed company we keep on this humble forum
Congratulations.

Wow, well done!

Well done

I hope you get the full Dr Frasier Crane treatment!

That's always a good idea.

That's awesome Newt... putting the rest of us to shame...

What does that mean for you practically ? Are you now going to be just teaching the next generation of cardiologists, still working the operating theatres or a combination of both ?

Congratulations, that sounds like a mightily impressive sounding role!
