Our national news is pretty excited as well

I'd say 'The importance of being absolutely amazed about everything' sounds like something which shouldn't be missed.

But that's just me, or is it?

Pip your 1st link isn't working.

Just checked it and it will only work for an Irish IP . Sorry.

Tried to get tickets for the lecture but failed but have been promised a recording of it so I'll post if possible.

I do like Terry's philosophy about 'life after school' and that he's only got 1 A Level.

I'm don't have any A Levels at all and about 8 O levels, some of which were scrapes because I really hated studying for exams. Oh - and I have a pretty desultory BA in Graphics Design.

The one 'qualification' I have that I'm actually really proud of was passing my driving test on the 3rd go. If I'd failed that time I wouldn't have gone on learning because words cannot express how much I hated driving back then. I still do but it's slightly easier now I'm not under pressure to drive at all - and North Cornwall's a nice place to drive around. *mutters* except for all the local drivers who think they're the only ones allowed to use the lanes

He has a few interesting insights all right.

I'm still waiting to hear from a colleague who was at the lecture but he's uncontactable the sod.

I was at the lecture, it was superb, very interesting and his interruptions were very funny. I met him afterwards and had a photo taken with him, he wasn't able to sign anything by the time I got to the front of the queue. Luckily my mother was able to get him to sign a book for me the next day at dinner.

Seems to be the general consensus that it was a really good lecture.

Found out afterwards i could have got in as staff but hindsight is twenty twenty.
