As someone who is actually old enough to have seen the original, with Carl Sagan, which I watched as a kid with my dad, I am underwhelmed by the new guy. That said, I am forcing my kids to watch this one. They really like it.

I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. But I recognize that he's no Carl Sagan. I'm glad your kids enjoy A Spacetime Odyssey - I've been full-blown enthralled with it.

Sucks. Like, needs surgery fucked up? Or just stay off it for a while? I still play basketball, and live in fear of the Achilles injury. See above -- I'm old. Fortunately, I don't move very quickly any more, maybe that explains why no major leg injuries.

Stay off it for awhile but if it doesn't get better you're pencilled in for a specialist in about 1.5 months.

Interesting profile on him in The New Yorker magazine. Read it while it's still available for free online.

1.5 months?

 

[Perun]

The preliminary literature list for my MA is 4 pages. Four pages. It's insane.

That's not a bad wait time here for a non-emergency. If my ankle was truly fucked, it'd be much quicker.

Wow, sorry. Hope it gets better before then.

It probably will be fine, the GP is just getting me the appointment out of due diligence - which I appreciate, just in case. Now that it's wrapped and supported, the pain is almost gone, so I'm guessing in a week or so it'll look OK. Regardless of whether or not I have to go, the specialist will still get my before and after x-rays and send on a review to the GP, so I'm fine with this whole thing - especially the cost.

Good luck Loosey, and feel better!

LC, you need to stop jumping out of women's second story windows....

 

[Brigantium]

Fuck bagpipes.

@Brigantium Some comedians have been announced for Sonisphere, one of them is from Sunderland. #represent

Oh joy, there goes the neighbourhood.

Edit: Hope it sorts itself out soon, LC.

 

[Night Prowler]

Good luck LC!

Hey, the ankle isn't from the jump.

It's from the landing.

Good one!

The preliminary literature list for my MA is 4 pages. Four pages. It's insane.

What exactly does preliminary mean here? Before trimming it down, or before expanding it?

 

[Perun]

Before expanding it. All the literature included now is the one I'm already citing.

 

[Black Wizard]

I fucked up my ankle.

Anything to do with Long Beach?

Lovely. You're maybe looking at a doubling of those four pages then?

 

[Perun]

Anything to do with Long Beach?

If I ever get to meet Bruce, that's the one question I'm going to ask him. "Did you ever go to the hearing doctor in England and tell him that Long Beach fucked up your hearing for good?"

 

[Perun]

Lovely. You're maybe looking at a doubling of those four pages then?

It's not going to be that much. But if it eventually grows to six pages, I wouldn't be too surprised.
