Quoth el reg:

Next week's sees the British National Science Fiction gathering in Bradford, where the great and the bearded will be discussing the RepRap project for self-building machines amongst other things

In Ansible's "As Others See Us" style.

So since I don't have a beard, I must be one of the great!

I'd dispute that. It's not "the great and bearded" it's "the great and the bearded".

The first implies that those there will be great and bearded, tha latter that the Great will be there and the Bearded will also be there.

Anyone who is great and bearded may have to be there twice.
