# i would be afraid of him, were it not for the bow tie.
did you do that? it's fucking excellent!

# yes I dunnit.
because I was pissed off last night after spending 4 hours on a Bowie portrait only to have my app crash and then find I did not have my iterative saves set. I could not face more Bowie tonight and Patrick cheered me up as I'm an astronomy geek.

# i sympathize
three hours of editing were gone in a flash when Final Cut Pro crashed on me the other night. I was not, shall we say, a happy camper.

# Good grief!
We just have a small Cassegrain telescope at college. 12cm diameter I think.

We didn't get to use it though, 'cause we've got a new head, who wouldn't give clearance for a "trip". ¬_¬

out of interest, you mentioned you mentioned before you were a member of a diving club, where abouts?

Leigh Sub Aqua Club

although if I'm honest I'm more than lapsed and only got into it as my friend who was giving me PPL lessons in his Cessna 152 insisted I'd enjoy diving as well. Which I did of course. Old bones and laziness mean I don't bother much.

I don't really like physics that much I just need the A-level so I can get to uni and start doing what I really like, biochemistry.

I could quite happily do that without going through 4 years of uni.

# bah
another one lost to those damned biochemists

actually i've only just finished marking a bunch of students' work and it felt like there were a million of them (there weren't, i only have 15) and it's twenty to two and i need to be at work at 9 so i think i'm going now...

PS do cosmology. It's like astronomy with all the irritating bits taken out, and particle physics with all the other irritating bits taken out.

# Twenty to two?
Where the blazes are you? Also, I don't belive in star signs so I don't think cosmology's for me :P

# in my mind
particle physics is part of theoretical physics. experimental particle physics can fuck right off. it only leads to the lhc and the lhc is going to make little black holes that will consume the entire earth and then the universe*. it's true, i read it in the Telegraph a few years ago!**




* This won't happen. We may well not make mini black holes at all and if we do, so what?
** It may not have been the Telegraph but it was some paper that had a supplement "How we'll destroy ourselves in the next century" which included at number 2 or something stupidly high, mini black holes at the LHC gobbling up Earth and then the universe. The lack of understanding showed by their "science" "correspondant" was utterly staggering.
