Old Man Scientist

The UK taxpayer pays me actual money to play around with lasers. I also tweet about #neighbours and non league football #brtfc

Thank you to @KillTheCatCo for some fascinating science today. I learnt so much. But can I say, the twins who had to take down the lab were massively overworked.

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

Absolutely fuming that #onlyconnect perpetuated the Jack/Flag myth. The two terms are interchangeable.

@hughosmond You can tell me that December is going to colder than August, but you can't tell me whether it will rain tomorrow!

I am a clever person who should definitely be taken seriously.

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

@hughosmond Go to the car park of a local university. Then go to the car park of a right wing think tank or an oil company, or any other source of climate change denial talking points.
That alone should tell you who is in it for the money.

@DownCollyer Club will use the name in official press, club will get a few quid. Fans will call it Nyewood Lane. Fans are unaffected.
Everyone wins.

@WhenIsBirths Not just any Power Ranger. The White Power Ranger.

Yikes!

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

@WhenIsBirths Maid Marian's King John as The Sherriff of Nottingham is a beautiful touch.

This was the weirdest thing about being on the show. There was a man in the corner saying my name when I hit the buzzer.

[Roger Tilling @rogertilling]

I am always LIVE in the studio on #UniversityChallenge! Never pre-recorded!! It allows me to speed up as the show speeds up. I'm glad you asked as many people think I am pre-recorded!!! 😀

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

Hope they both lose.

I can never support a team who say "hornèd viper". Sorry. I just have standards. #OnlyConnect

@dieworkwear Can't afford a gun.

@OCSteveSDS @CultureCrave Imagine being confused by the notion of solidarity...

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

@bbctms That's all you'll be remembered for

Love that Dr Karl is the union man on set at Neighbours!

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Barbie star Margot Robbie - proud trade unionist.

There comes a time in a person's life when they must realise they are too old for three things:
1) Play football for Scotland
2) Play Hamlet
3) Be a spokesperson for the IEA

@Gupster81 @ECB_cricket @savevcricket Helps when you get rid of some elements of the club who bugger off to Bedford.

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

@AldwickCC @ECB_cricket Congratulations!

[Old Man Scientist @ThisScientician]

Well, that will definitely give the Scots pause for thought. They would hate to upset Maggie Thatcher.

[Magnus Llewellin @magnusllewellin]

Thatcher would have been appalled at the SNP’s policy for universal free prescriptions, seeing it as a wasteful middle-class subsidy, writes ⁦@Mel_ReidTimes⁩

Never been prouder to be a blurry shape in the background of a picture. Congrats to my old boss, Extremely well deserved honour.
