Good to be back

[Brian Clegg]

Good to see Litopia back with us. For those who didn't know me before I'm a popular science author and make my living from writing.

Here's hoping for great things!

Greetings!

Good afternoon Brian and welcome back.

I have just left a message on a Facebook page frequented by former Litopians. Hopefully that might help spread the word a little!

 

[Lex Black]

Welcome (back) to the Colony!

Damn fine tache, Brian

Damn fine tache, Brian

There is still a beard as well, it was just pretty short at the time...

 

[benrmackay]

Definitely good to be back! I've missed the Colony and look forward to many future discussions.

 

[Frances Gow]

Hi Brian - it is lovely to see you back!

 

[Richard Sutton]

Yep. Me as well, as time allows.

 

[Marvel Gumshoe]

Hello, Brian. I'm not stalking you. I swear.
Nice socks, btw.

You've seen Brian's SOCKS??? More information, please!

 

[Marvel Gumshoe]

I remember remarking on how cool Barry Cunningham's socks were (bright red ones) and he was very dismissive. Why would one wear red socks if one wasn't courting comments? Granted, he was up on stage and I was a stranger shouting up from the audience.

I googled Brian but he only ever appears from the knees up, so no luck there. He may wear quantum socks.
My reference to 'socks' in the previous post was an attempt at humour that I really should have road-tested first.

 

[Frances Gow]

I love the idea of Brian wearing 'quantum socks'...

 

[Brian Clegg]

Here's a picture of me with really boring socks (but at least in the company of M G Harris):

I do, though, have my nice red DMs on.

Interestingly, there is a famous paper about quantum socks, 'Bertlmann's Socks and the Nature of Reality' by John Bell.

That’s pretty strange - because one of my favourite children’s publishers, David Fickling, also wears red socks. And a nice bow tie. One wonders whether there’s a conspiracy...

Great to have you back, Brian. I've been keeping an eye on your work - really excellent stuff!

I have emailed David Icke and he will be calling round their houses to check for lizards.

It took me a while to connect "BrianC" with oh, that chap who writes the popular science books (which I do very much enjoy, by the way!)

It's good to see a few familiar faces here, just wish I had realised sooner that Litopia had returned

Glad to hear you enjoy them!

 

[flootzavut]

Glad to hear you enjoy them!

Funnily enough, one of them was what brought me back to Litopia. I was attempting to organise my Kindle (I keep running out of room ).

One of your books was in my current reads folder and seeing a Litopian's name reminded me to check here for the first time in months so for indirectly being responsible for me finding out Litopia is back, I thank you!

 

[AgentPete]

Brian's going to be our guest on the very first LITOPIA AFTERBURN, in a couple of weeks...

 

[MagicMan]

Welcome back.
