The Prof Brian Cox Drinking Game, Glastonbury 2013 Edition

[FloorFiller]

"Please let it be Stephen Hawking... please let it be Stephen Hawking..."

[russycarps]

I remember last time brian cox did a talk, and people started politely queuing half an hour before, snaking back all the way through the jazz world

Then when the tent opened other people just walked straight in, totally ignoring the lengthy queue of polite people

[neil999]

there is that american scientist who did a series on time on bbc3, forget his name..

[Ponyegg]

whilst i don't agree with your use of The Big Bang Theory, i agree with the sentiment. i didn't want to mention him in case it was absolutely ludicrous, but surely it's him!?

Time travel, Dr Who? Just me?

Dunno I'm afraid, didn't go in 2010, this year would be Matt Smith's last chance now he's packing it in.

shit you could be right. didn't Matt Smith appear with Orbital in 2010 as well?

[evilduck]

My first thought was someone Doctor Who related as well.

[Ed209]

I find it very difficult to believe it's Stephen Hawking. He probably costs more than Stones, he's not so good at public speaking either.

A Dr Who person is more likely, which would be shit. Cus Dr Who is shit

[Joely]

Isn't he at glasto university? what venue is he actually at?

[Jameslcfc]

but dont think I can manage to play the drinking game at both.

Brian Cox is an evil word in my house, my talented son who should have taken drama suddenly developed a huge teenage crush on him packed the drama in and did science (my chance to walk on a red carpet ruined for ever) being a teenager he promptly dropped out of the sciences a year later. I blame Cox for his wasted year. I may go along to shout at him

[thunderdog]

I think Stephen Hawking is due to be singing with Daft Punk at Glastonbury this year so he might well give a talk after his gig

[windy_miller]

If it's anyone Dr Who related, I would much prefer it to be Jenna Louise Coleman. Or Karen Gillan. I'm not fussy.

just looked on the Glasto site http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/the-park/the-free-university-of-glastonbury and it says he'll have a special guest on with him (as well as Shaun Keaveney)

"This session will also include a special guest who arguably knows more about time travel than even Prof Brian Cox"

who could that be then?

doesn't look like i have anything planned for around then so will definitely try and check it out and get absolutely hammered

That's a very nice thought......

I have printed out 200 copies of the rules to hand out, hope to be there around 11:30 ish.

I think it will be packed. I don't know if its an open sided tent, would be handy.

[stormtrooper]

I missed this....any good?

[frostypaw]

Unfortunately they knew about it and fluffed it in the over enthusiastic way only academics could

Was great fun though, they had KT Tunstall there looking very confused but she helped loads with the Elements song at the end. Properly headache baiting mind you

Dunno thought they made it weird enough with all the overemphasised "MIIIILlLions" and "BIIIIIILLlions"! What must the audience at home have thought lol
