I so miss live Readercon, all of it.

How did you like virtual Arisia?

Ralph Richardson has good taste in poetry. I would cheerfully hang out with him, even as Joseph Finsbury, the interminable bore from The Wrong Box.

Everything I have ever read suggests that he was great fun to hang out with, although inclined toward motorcycle crashes and death to flying things.

I remember finding a wonderful interview with Denholm Elliott circa Bleak House (1985) where he referred to Richardson as his "god." I think of Elliott as such a small god of character acting himself that I hadn't realized he had his own pantheon. Good taste.
