Further to the references to the late Stewart Oakley on the Eurovision Song Contest thread, here is a nice photo of Stewart (on right) and Tom Munch-Petersen (recently retired from UCL) which I took at the University Teachers of Scandinavian Studies conference held some years ago in Guildford (University of Surrey).I got to know these two and many more SS academics from frequenting these conferences as an interested outsider. They let me tag along, in groupie fashion - cf. the old crack about a drummer being a guy who hangs out with musicians.

I say, Harry, old drummer, calling them "SS academics" is just a jot controversial, what? But it was nice to see the photo of Stewart Oakley, who had by then grown a beard since I knew him.
I was too idle to type Scandinavian Studies.

Well, it could be either, one can take one's pick, I guess. :-)
Context is all, as every translator kno.
