No problem; it's probably a blessing sometimes. Not that I've got anything against the song or D:Ream. Just that it has tended to get overplayed more than somewhat at large public events for all the wrong reasons. 1997 Nu Labour Party Conference, I'm looking at you.
Incidentally, Brian Cox isn't the only, nor indeed the first, Brian of a popular rythm combo to straddle the music/science divide. Brian May is also almost as known for his work as an astrophysicist as he is for his work as lead guitarist of Queen. He's good friends with Sir Patrick Moore and has appeared on his flagship "The Sky At Night" several times, as well as spending much time out in the field observing with the great man. It's my forlorn wish that, come the inevitable sad day when Sir Patrick is no longer with us, May should pick up the torch for him as presenter of the show.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
