Mr P once did a whole team meeting webcam thing with the Bridge of The Starship Enterprise as his back drop.

I threatened to buy him the outfit and a set of Spock ears to complete the look!

Liz, our daughter and son-in-law have many different backgrounds too. They have the outer space one for sure. Can’t say I’ve noticed the nose thing. I will look out now!

I think it was Dan Walker who admitted he had rearranged his bookshelves in order to make himself appear more intelligent.

I think I would get together all my academic books behind me to make me seem intelligent. On the other hand I might choose the arty, cultural farty books I have to make me seem avant garde or I could collect all the really good literature books I have collected over the years, or maybe a collection of travel literature to make me seem well travelled?.

What I wouldn’t show are the chick lit books I have, or cookery books or anything to do with the home, like diy books etc.

I can’t remember how I did it but I am in outer space when on Zoom. My daughter was quite impressed!

I’m too busy trying to figure out what books they have on their shelves to notice their noses. And then I think about where in my house I would position myself. And which books I would have on my shelf.

I also have bookshelf envy. Everyone interviewed seems to have a fabulous display of books. Or are they all just fakes!,

It’s because the screen is lower than their body that you can see up their nose !! When I am on zoom , I rest my iPad on Mary Berry.s home cooking book , it’s just the right height for not seeing up my nose

Has anybody else noticed that when people are being interviewed from their homes via zoom, on the news for example their nostrils seem oddly prominent;. I find it strangely distracting now that I have noticed.
