I'm not familiar with Brian Cox....but I do remember James Burke - and I still have a copy of his book The Day The Universe Changed. Somehow reminds me of James May but I can't think why!:D

Captain Slow seems to be a cross between James Burke and Raymond Baxter; that combination of exuberance and Spitfire pilot... ooh, if you have a moment, have a look at this and it will introduce you to Professor Brian Cox, OBE

Anyroad, as I'm at work, I need to do a bit of flying round this desk... and get going with the long fluffy duster in case any spiders have moved in...
By the way, I think this decluttering lark may be catching: as the windows were replaced on Tuesday:j:j:j:j:beer: we have the option of a room layout that wasn't previously possible due to extreme draughts under the living room doors. And, due to the rearrangement, Him Indoors has decluttered the contents of a set of vintage pigeonholes and it is likely the pigeonholes themselves may be gone by the time I get home. And he's decided his favourite table (not mine:D)may be "a bit too big" and need moving from the middle of the floor. :j
yep, you guessed, the table interferes with the signal from the remote control:rotfl:

Right i'd better get back to it i suppose. I'm going to do a 45mC from now. Then we'll have lunch and go out in the garden for the afternoon.
