I've just died and gone to Heaven

This folks, is bigger than having your astro pics hanging up at NASA!!!
I got an email this morning, and I'm shaking, and I've been running around the house screaming and dancing since I got it 10 minutes ago.
I won a trip down to Sydney to meet Brian Cox so I can ask him my question about Mars.
OMFG

My daughter is so jealous, she has a list of questions to bug him with.

Although she is also partially convinced BC is an Alien...

Oh, great. This is going to be a fun trip to Cairns. "Brian this, and Brian that..." "Did you know that Brian...?"....

LOL I hope that you're going to ask him how the face was built, and by whom.

Dear Jeanette,

- Confirmation that you are able to attend the event on Wednesday 7th November 2012. Please note, you must be free to travel to and from Sydney between the 6th November and the 7th November 2012.

Unbelievable jjj, huge congratulations, and so well deserved to get something back from all the support you have given others.

We have so many expectations of your time with him - hair, Tshirt, aftershave, mannerisms, smile, etc.

Ask him if he is watching the eclipse - probably will while he is down under.

What an exciting week ahead!!!

Congrats jjj,

Make sure somehow there are plenty of pictures we can look at . What about a live webcam?

You won't need a flash the teeth will reflect enough light

And also too!! The IIS smiley prize for the best ever smiley setup in a post

Cheers
