Today&#8217;s item from November 1982 is different because it includes part of the time that Jez appeared on the BBC&#8217;s Blue Peter programme earlier that year in February. You can read all about that appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/f001.backblazeb2.com\/file\/felixonlinearchive\/issues\/pdfs\/felix_604.pdf\">page 3 of Felix<\/a> from February 1982. Duncan Batty from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperialcollegeunion.org\/activities\/a-to-z\/rcs-motor-club\">RCS Motor Club<\/a> was outside in the cold talking to STOIC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/f001.backblazeb2.com\/file\/felixonlinearchive\/issues\/pdfs\/felix_673.pdf\">Mark Simms<\/a> (see Felix bottom page 3) about what had been happening to Jez since that time.<\/p>\r\n<p>The picture at the top is of me with camera, with my colleague Martin Sayers with microphone on 26 June 2008. This was outside the college main entrance during the retirement party for Rector Sir Richard Sykes. Jez was on duty to greet Sir Richard and Lady Sykes and to take them on an unforgettable evening ride.<\/p>\r\n<p><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
