He looked lovely, proper suit with several open shirt buttons worth watching for that reason alone

These facts always raise further questions in my mind, such as whether the bones heal and whether the frogs then have a fully-functioning pain-free life. I always wish he were here to discuss these geeky things.
I thought our Stevie has never looked better than on yesterday's Mel & Sue. :) Loved all he said.
Loved him on the Monkey Cage. Stevie B in full flow with an avalanche of stuff pouring out of his Sherlockian mind palace of a brain! . I'm now totally convinced that he stores it all in there. He out geeked them all by a mile :):D
Off to the houses of parliament, yet another prestigious engagement for him, Steve's profile continues to be raised
A great couple of days for us Stevites, long may it continue

Maybe something to do with his invitation to speak at the Oxford Union Society in March? (Probably not...^_^)
Intriguing indeed. Links to Oxford and the NHM there. Steve's certainly getting around a bit at the moment and such a wide variety of projects. Hope all these opportunities are what he was looking for when he chose to do strictly and have made all the pain and trauma worthwhile
And may I say looking rather wonderful in that photo. That shirt!....
I'm sure Steve's gratified that his dancing/exposure on a widely-seen telly programme has led to more recognition in many ways. Yes, his time there was painful in more ways than one, but I think he'd see it as a good move over-all. I truly hope he has no regrets anyway. He probably feels now that there aren't enough hours in the day to do all he wishes to do.
I think that may be 'the world's most poisonous animal' on his T-shirt in that photo. The very one that lives in the Colombian rainforest he is raising money to buy a part of. Coincidence???
