1 Week to go till Brian Cox

I have been waiting for months for this event and only 1 week to go .. a high before the low of another angiogram the following week but nothing is going to dampen my enthusiasm.

Its hard to think of anything that is more fun than an angiogram.
Good luck I hope it all goes well.

I can do that in my sleep..in fact thats the way I have done two already...I have had three angiograms one whilst awake..mmm maybe two awake and although not painful to an unmanagable degree I found them difficult to manage mentally.

Brian is certainly one chap I would go to Brisbane to see and hear. He is such a great ambassador for science.

Certainly a great event.
I think I understood it so far.
Helps that I've been reading Hawking and Susskind lately.
