@Matt_Burleigh I’m very happy to be proved wrong on this one.

Difficult one this @TYorkshirebloke for our theory that we can only be good at one sport at a time. Brilliant at cricket today, and the footie. Pretty decent against the All Blacks last weekend. Head is dizzy

10th Jan deadline for this one

Happy new year. To both remaining folks on this platform.

*NEW PAPER ALERT* So you want to know how the proposed HEX-P mission will advance our knowledge of ULXs? You're in luck. arxiv.org/pdf/2311.04733… Enjoy!

The list of projects offered this year:

Come to Durham to do a PhD or MScR in astronomy with me! (Or with someone else, of course.) Our 2024-entry project booklet is here: astro.dur.ac.uk/index.php?cont…

World Cup finalists. Oh yes.

New Paper Day - and it's one what I wrote. Including some colourful pictures. Want to know about three previously-unstudied extreme ULX candidates? You're in luck. arxiv.org/abs/2308.01034 Enjoy!

Interested in coming to Durham on a 5-yr STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship? See below and astro.dur.ac.uk for our procedures, and contact possible academic hosts directly...

Wind has died down so going for it.

Barbecue time. If the thunderstorms hold off…

Nice day for it

@StuartPerryUK Completely agree. Would much rather Royals consigned to history than the right to protest.

@TYorkshirebloke All the others in the fam are watching Chas receiving his new millinery because it’s history - I’m in the kitchen grumpily shouting to them in the other room that we are ourselves history, as are protests that will henceforth be airbrushed from history.

Have decided not to watch an immensely privileged man get a new metal hat today.

I am coming to realise that my superpower is the ability to miss and/or sleep through aurorae.

@gordon_love @comp_sci_durham @durham_uni I did.

Who knew you could see a tarantula and a tropical rain forest 5 mins from my office @comp_sci_durham in @durham_uni Botanic Gardens (sound on ! )

Bake sale in OCW at 11 (for CRUK, in memory of Richard Bower). Wondering if I’ve gone in too hard with my contribution.

Hopefully’23 not as shit as’22. Happy new whatsit.

Merry festive thingamabob.

Rather unusual weather for World Cup final day
