What do his friends say?

"Bobby is what we expected our teachers to be like at their best: intelligent, hard-working, kind-hearted, and earnest in sharing what he knows. Pity he's not a teacher . . . " - User:Oceanbourne (USA/Denmark/Faroe Islands)

Bobby is a close friend who never ceases to amaze me with his near-encyclopaedic knowledge of issues historical and political. He is a rare breed of scholar: one who revels in acquiring and disseminating knowledge without the pretentious nature that is all too common in his fellow academics. -- Dr. David J. Hanson, AKC (London, UK)

"What a cool guy, he helps me out, by telling me things I don't know, correcting things for me and giving me cool/ interesting news. He's just an all round cool helpful ace guy" ;) User:ijanderson977 (Leeds UK)
