Stephen Hawking in the Kidz Field - insane!

[themuel]

I accept they may enforce rules for the big acts, but I've been for a wander in that field every year I've been and never been turned away for not having children with me. As long as you smile going in you're ok.

[The 38 year old virgin]

I met Stephen Hawkins in Amsterdam about 15 years ago, talking to one of the working girls hanging out of her door. In my rather inebriated state, I didn't believe my eyes.

True story

[Untz]

Put Hawking on after Mr Lama, get rid of Weller, bump up the other acts.

And there's that Grease song in my head again.

[MichaelsBeard]

Does seem a bit of a waste having him there. He'd command a huge crowd on the Pyramid.

[chock]

surely a collaboration with public service broadcasting is on the cards..

[mr gumby]

I've got to wonder what his appearance will be like. I'd love it if hundreds of adults managed to wangle their way in, only to hear him reading The Tiger That Came To Tea

[dingbat2]

I do wonder why they have chosen the Kidsfield for him. Yep he will inspire kids with his descriptions about the wonders and the inprobabilty of the universe, but when he starts banging on about string theory and quantum physics then I think he might lose at least a couple of the less gifted kids in the kids field

( I also think that Bodger and Badger lost the kids for very similar reasons but I might be wrong....)

I hope he does a lecture at the Crows Nest, i would genuinely queue up for hours to be there. Seems a bit of a waste of his intellectual superiority to not have him somewhere other than the Kidsfueld over the weekend....

reading that book as a parent, I realised that that story is about an alcoholic mother trying to hide the truth from her hubby and daughter.

Didn't realise they researched string theory, I know they are pretty big in the mash theory field.

[whatmidlifecrisis?]

Bet he clashes with the Dalai Lama....

I reckon they will have more in common than you think and I don't think the dalai lama is argumentative...

'They' haven't chosen The Kidz Field for him, The Kidz Field will have invited him. Tony Cordy runs TKF and it is pretty much up to him how he runs it. This is how the individual fields of the festival work.

It's really about Judith Kerr's home being visited by the Gestapo prior to the outbreak of WWII, (her farther was a prominent German writer and critic of the Nazis who had by that point already fled to France)

yep, but my story is funnier. Re read it with my theory

[smytho15]

What chance of cabert tent with the infinate monkey cage. Plus why not for the kids the are the future. Quantum theory fucks my mind.

[deadpheasant]

Hawking to perform this with Alex James

Not quite Hawkins but i had a chat with Professor Heinz Wolfe today. I was going to ask him, the infamous Ali G question, that if the smallest thing on the planet was 'a salt', but thought he probably wouldn't appreciate that.

[Slugworth]

The most random thing I've ever seen announced! I think there is going to be a serious issue with crowds for him. I personally would want to go but last time I tried to walk through to have a look round I was told no as I had no children. Wonder if they will stop people going in without kids? Gutting!

I think i've just decided on my fancy dress.

[Andy0808 v5]

Anyone got a child I can rent?

[Hotfoxy]

Inside info... He's just written a children's book and will be reading it.

Ive also heard Anna and Elsa from Frozen are doing a sing a long show, i dont know what I'm more excited about! Kidzfield is rocking it this year!

[denwyn]

Big deal....Yawn...so boring

[mungo57]

Yeah it seems from his site that he and his daughter have done a kids book, looks like he may be reading it. If they can fit him in for a lecture somewhere then I will be there with bells on!

[Wanderlei]

If Hawking is elsewhere on the bill too, it'd be interesting if they put him up against the Dalai Lama. Let the battle commence lol
