A sad day, though not unexpected given his great age.

He will be honoured for his contributions to science and the popularisation of astronomy.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Sad sad news. He was always good for late night early morning TV viewing in order to ponder the mysteries of our solar system and universe.

Very sad - he was a wonderful champion of science, knowledge and understanding in the world, and will be missed.

And don't forget 'GamesMaster', he was great in that as the dis-embodied floating head. Such a shame. RIP Patrick Moore, a great personality and the reason that many people took up astronomy....

For those of you that never saw the genius that was Gamesmaster, here's a short clip

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

This is the end of an era. A link back to the dawn of space exploration.

The Sky At Night is the single longest running television program under a single presenter.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

And so it comes to pass. Time withers away our herros until its your turn to face the unkown.
The games master has gone to the grate RAM dump in the sky. He shall be missed.

<--- Yes that is me
