Sadly I'm not generally a pubgoer and in fact only an occasional drinker, so that excuse is denied me. No TV, regular cinema and lots of reading are my major vices - oh, and going to work. And why indeed should we not be excited. when we are having fun and doing something interesting? The containments will be breached at some point, but not until we are sure of every little detail. Peanut-proof armour takes a while to construct. Not in the lab until tomorrow, and only just back from the USA this afternoon.
But you rather overlook my point. 'Hot and dry' has been largely overlooked or ignored. Rossi has to some extent revitalised interest.
