C’est la vie.
E: Unfortunately, I ran out of EAHP business cards. So what I have to do while at http://durban47.icann.org in Durban, South Africa, is giving away Redvers Consulting Ltd business cards with my name on them. I hope that is fine with you. Redvers is a name related to South Africa, anyway, if I remember correctly what you once told me.
D: Actually I’m quite happy that you’re handing out Redvers business cards at ICANN events – just helps to get the Redvers company name in front of more IT people. Yes, the British general, Redvers Buller was quite a popular British general in the Zulu and Boer wars in South Africa. You might want to bear in mind that although he was popular among the British, he may not be so popular with any Zulu or Dutch people you may meet.
E: Well I was talking to a very nice IT guy of Zulu origin last night, at the Gala Dinner. Since I didn’t realize all this background, perhaps giving a Redvers business card to him at the end of our half-hour conversation killed it all.
