Congratulations to (my big mate) Sir Salman Rushdie

Sir Salmon Rushdie (left (heh)) and, much more importantly, moi (right).

I hate this picture of me (I was just a little bit sloshed) but I think it's pretty good of the man himself. Six years ago now - ah, how time flies. It always amazes me how these famous people look so much like themselves in real life. I always expect them to look a little more ordinary - as if part of what they look like is something they can apply like a mask.
