Fivetide reminds me...
Well, fivetide and the fact that I've just sat in a meeting with him.

I don't know who he is, or his department, but I have to go to a fair number of pointless meetings attended by other unwilling people from around the University. One of them cannot have been taught elementary etiquette as a child. This would be bearable (noone need know in most situations) but for the fact that he has permanent catarrh.

He invariably spends the duration of these meetings making loud snorting, sinus-clearing noises. "Loud" here means that I'm half convinced that this post is superfluous. You probably heard him and wondered what the din was.

Ah!
Well bugger me! I thought that noise was the joiner fixing the fire door in the lab. Now I understand.

Still have no idea who Bernard is though.
