In 1998, during the final year of my undergraduate diploma I worked on a project for the BaBar experiment. I got on well with the PhD students in the group, however my rather direct manner resulted in me acquiring the nick name of "Marianne" a (then) popular character in a series of comedy sketches produced by the now defunct SWF3 radio station.
Marianne 013 (it is never explained where the number comes from) is a vet. In every episode she deals with a different farmer with a different problem (alcoholic geese, shrunken angora bunnies, hens who have given up on laying eggs). She has a number of 'special' vehicles at her disposal (the Blues mobile, the car from knight rider -- which she hates as it keeps calling her 'Michael', Robbie Naish's surfboard, the Hindenburg) which she uses to swiftly attend to her duties. Her solutions to the farmers' dilemmas are usually delivered with a telling off of the farmer in question: Battery hens need a 12 V battery, not the lousy 6V the farmer was trying to get away with, angora bunnies need to be washed by hand and not at 40 C in the washing machine, and alcoholic geese can be tricked with alcohol free beer, etc. She gets quite exasperated in the process.
But (most) episodes end on a happy note (for Marianne that is), as she discovers that the animals have private health insurance.
