    After a 9 hour journey of terminated and cancelled trains I made it to Oxford . @pluralistic It was brilliant because I like both Tim (left) and Cory (right). Double whammy.

    But above all, they have known each other since primary school, both Canadian and their interactions showed it. The lady in front was Tim's mum, his wife and kid were there too. It felt a bit we were intruding into friends meeting up. The exchange was definitely not the sycophancy you sometimes see in those events.

    @pluralistic After, we had a signing of their book and they were both so friendly.

    I was chatting with Tim and asked him to sign an older book he did. Tim was so happy he told me about how he wrote it: then his daughter, came and looked at the book, turned to her father and asked him in a stern voice: "How many books you wrote?" It was so cute.

    Should they do it more often? No. There was an feeling of uniqueness that can't be replicated. Every so often? Yes

    Thank you both.

    @littlemouse @pluralistic maybe not more often (it sounds like Cory barely stops as it is), but given how many answers had to be curtailed it felt like it could have gone on all day and they wouldn’t have run out of things to discuss! Looking forward to reading the books now.
