Prof HAWTIN'S POPULAR SCIENCE THREAD

Nod can you stop your pops at Bishop please. I know you don't mean anything by it it's just getting a bit thin. The forum is enough of an in-joke already.

Thanks!

Turns out it was a meteor.

Only with a carefully paced mirror.

Me too, I had to turn it off, which is a shame as it looked pretty good.

When she talks 'normally' to people on it she talks incredibly fast but it's intelligible.

She's been told by the BBC to talk in chunks. It is so unnatural and alien to her and the listener it actually makes her nonsensical.

Besides I want my modern science presenters to look like supermodels. Brian Cox has spoiled it for everyone.

I'm still awaiting the return of the beardy man. Until then, all science is on hold.
