This Christmas please bring us all a message from Beagle 2.... Everyone on LJ has been very good this year, honest...

On a happier note, I'm off to my sister's place for the family knees-up. Loads of screaming kids, crap TV, silly hats and a dead bird on the table.

Have a good 'un, y'all.

Don't know about the Beagle but I have had a message from Jeff Wayne:

The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, he said

Well, there are several more chances for Beagle 2 to make an announcement. I certainly hope that there's a better system planned than using the occasional overflights by the various US probes to relay data!

Keeping my fingers crossed!

So I guess this means, Pete, that you are off standby? Well, we were ready to have you spend the day with us--no TV, only one screaming kid, and a dead bird on the table (but we had a backup meal for you in place!).

Still on standby, but at the moment they have to give me 24hrs notice. From Sunday I have to stay at an airport hotel, where they will give me just 45 minutes notice.
