Well I've had worse evenings than sitting with my family wqtching @ProfBrianCox deliver a great lecture on the development of the Standard Model and absent-mindedly name-dropping my dad.

Story. By me. You know the drill. Plus you can listen. You don't even have to read it.

Hate March?
I don't hate March.
Lots of nice things happen in March.

I wonder if I'm not concentrating enough on the detail of the news.

If you're talking to your second small boat, would you expect it to say: "I'm a canoe, a c-nother canoe..."?

Just me then.

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

Me. Man/Woman/Horse. For any explanation you'd have to pay the ticket price.

Let's delay trying to save the planet. I'm sure that'll be fine.
Oh, did I mention fuck the Tories?
We save the planet or we don't. We don't wait a few years and see how it works out.

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

Yes, I imagine you are

I must have known that Miriam Margoyles was the Cadbury Caramel bunny. But that does put her voice in my top ten animated fanciable characters. At number 8, for what it's worth. I'm not weird. You're weird.

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

True dat.

If the Sugababes reform can we really say they're still Theseus's ship?

Philosophy is so confusing.

Has the Wichita lineman got off the line yet? I really need to use the phone.

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

2 down. 31 to go.

Jazz?
Great.
Stalin-era bootleg jazz?
Really great.
Life-threatening jazz?
Wondrous.

Just finished first session of rehearsals. I appear to have got myself one of the named parts in a pantomime. Yikes.

I somewhat went off Heisenberg when I discovered how he'd shouted at Gerry Guralnik "You know nothing about physics!" after he co-authored one of the papers which [correctly] predicted the Higgs. Gerry said it was terrifying.

[Jim Al-Khalili @jimalkhalili]

Nice summary. Question is, when we come to celebrate the centenary of the most successful theory in the history of science, what year do pick? Smart money is on 2025 (1925 was the year of Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics and Schrödinger wave mechanics (latter published in 1926).

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

Experiment: Set yourself up to be so busy for the rest of the year that you won't have a single damned moment to think about anything at all.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

No. I don't know why.

[RobertKibble @r_kibble]

On my next book I'm going to add "Special Collector's Edition Unsigned Copy" on the cover, then I'm going to buy one and hand it to someone at random.

Signed.

(I accept I need to get out more)
