mysteriousaliwaysMuch squeeage among the Denialists at the news that Ben Mansfield will be on the Primeval panel at the SFX Weekender :) I'm looking forward to that weekend - it's going to be so much fun. I think I'm going to have all the bits of my costume looked out a week in advance *g*
ION, my Mum phoned up to let me know that a program my niece, Esther, worked on is showing on BBC1 tonight at 10:35 - Pleasure and Pain with Michael Mosley.
It sounds quite interesting.
"Pleasure is vital for our survival - without it we wouldn't eat or have sex, and would soon die out as a species. But how does pleasure work and what gives us the most pleasure in life?
In an attempt to find out, Michael Mosley learns how the hottest chilli in the world creates euphoria in the brain, why parents have an overwhelming surge of love for their newborn child and what happens if you turn your own wedding into a chemistry experiment.
We all know that where there is pleasure, pain can't be far behind, and Michael gamely exposes himself to some painful experiments to show why the two are so interlinked. Why is pain so important and how can we measure it? How much pain are we prepared to put up with if the reward is right and what would happen if we couldn't feel pain at all? And how far is Michael prepared to go in the name of pleasure? Will he be able to overcome enormous pain and stress in order to experience one of the biggest pleasure kicks in the world?"

I'll need to look out for her name on the credits. I expect it'll be something on the production side, as she was (assistant) producer for the previous thing she did.

Date: Tuesday, 25 January 2011 22:07 (UTC)A week in advance? That would be... two days time!! I meant to check my own at the weekend, but I know I have everything done now, badge sewn on and everything.
We may have to dress up for the panel!!!
I'm off tomorrow, so I suspect I will post the rail tickets. Shall I just post the outward journey ones? I'll send them recorded, but still *flail*

Date: Tuesday, 25 January 2011 22:17 (UTC)I think I may have to wear the basics of the costume for the journey, and just add on the tac-vest, etc, when I arrive, as I doubt I'll have time to get changed. Will try not to get arrested in London.
Yes please, just post the outward ones to be on the safe side.
*joins in flailing*

Date: Tuesday, 25 January 2011 22:16 (UTC)Poor Ben Mansfield, I hope he knows what he's letting himself in for *g*
Altho if he exposes his manfur like he does in all those video interviews then it's the safety/sanity of my fellow Denialists I worry about *g*
no subject
Date: Tuesday, 25 January 2011 22:21 (UTC)I think if he exposes his manfur he may run the risk of getting molested *g*
I think the sanity part of it is probably a lost cause.
