Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted July 6, 2004 As a replacement for Pat on the Sky At Night - how about his curly-haired mate from Queen - you know, the guitarist who borrows his wifes wig. He's a very keen star-watcher - got his own telescope and everything! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stayin Alive 26 Posted July 7, 2004 DWB - Yeah, I too saw the hairy one from Queen on that Venus transit programme. He does seem to be proper into it. Maybe he could add a musical lilt or accompaniment to any star bound musings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted July 7, 2004 Ah, I believe this is where someone must make a crack about Freddie Mercury and Uranus. Anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 186 Posted July 7, 2004 Damn you Anubus - On my walk to work this morning I was trying to construct something along the lines of... Brian May's fascination with astronomy started several years ago when he observed Mercury entering a galaxy of stars Sadly I arrived at work before I managed to turn it into anything amusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guesty Posted July 7, 2004 This isn't the first time he's eaten something that doesn't agree with him. Doesn't Patrick often tell the story of how he once Swallowed a fly? I don't know why he swallowed that fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yeti 14 Posted July 8, 2004 I'll second Brian May ... He's an astroenthusiast, media savvy, not got a lot to do nowadays, can write a good theme tune, might hang around a while yet, and is eccentric enough (that hair, being married to Anita Dobson).

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted July 8, 2004 "I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity" Don't Stop Me Now Hmm, if Mr. May considers a shooting star to be like a large predatory feline oblivious to the discoveries of Isaac Newton, then I doubt he is quite the right man for the S.A.N. job. However, if Mr. May-Dobson, is going to build a telescope or astrolabe out of bits of his own fireplace in the same spirit as his home-built guitar, I'll definitely be tuning in.

Guest Silas Posted August 2, 2004 He missed this month's Sky At Night due to illness, having noticeably had to spend the previous (Venus Transit) one seated the whole time. I think you could tell that he was cock-a-hoop to have lived to have seen this literally once-in-every-other-lifetime event, something that is not true of solar eclipses. Hate to say it, Grim, but I really would not be surprised if he went before the end of 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yeti 14 Posted August 2, 2004 Actually, he missed last month's. First time in 40 years, he said. To food poisoning. He was there this month (yesterday), with his usual company of nerds (& Prof. Zarnecki, one of my old uni. lecturers !) Repeated next Saturday, around noonish usually.

Guest seraphim Posted August 25, 2004 no way guys... someone like patrick wont be craking yet... not till the huygens probe has done its thing so he will be around till at least the end of january... trust me anyway there are still several things that can be done to prolong his health further. and im sure some star trek fan will have spent his life working on it and will offer it to him (btw im a star trek fan and yes i have been working on it and ive got it) ill tell you the secret to long life.. dont breathe too much and if you have to breathe a lot then eat a lot of anti-oxidants. truly it is the secret to life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yeti 14 Posted August 25, 2004 ill tell you the secret to long life.. dont breathe too much and if you have to breathe a lot then eat a lot of anti-oxidants. Are you saying that, should we actually have to breathe occasionally, then it would be better to do so less the oxygen ? I wait with baited breath ...
