One of the best things about having visiting seminar speakers here in Cardiff is that they often tend to bring ideas for my astronomy look-alike series with them. One of the best I’ve had for a while was suggested last night over dinner with yesterday’s speaker.
I wonder how many of you have noticed the similarity – tonsorial issues apart – between cheeky boy Rob Ivison and former Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament Lembit Opik? I wonder if by any chance they might be related?
Incidentally, it might be worth mentioning that Lembit Opik himself has an interesting family connection with astronomy.
