Does Robb sleep?

[smiley]

I note with interest that Robb's astronomy contributions are usually added at uncivilized hours like 1.19am So the question arises, does Robb ever sleep? Is he posting these little snippets while star-gazing? Does he have a daytime job, and if so, how does he function after being up half the night?

Just wondering.

Cheers, K

The silly buggers in the Rural Fire Service also - where does he find the time? Maybe he's from one of those distant solar systems - he certainly knows a lot about them. Mmmmmmmm. Interesting. What about it Robert - are you an ALF?

Hi All,

Interesting post, I will let in a little secret. I am a NASA educator purely out of contacts between my Uni Professors and America. I have been for at least two years now. I sometimes do post things quite late but that is after I have dragged the Telescope of mine inside...

After work it's, home - family time - Uni Study, then to the computer to check my inbox from my e-mail, then outside to gather my thoughts of study to step into the distant galaxy filled universe.

As Richard would understand the constant beeps from my pager system would also see my self carrying out the duties within the Rural Fire Service.

Hectic but formidable life style.. of course with the understanding and support of my family...

Let me just add, that Uni also takes up a lot of your time...

Cheers,

Robb.....

We always thought Robb was a night owl. Just a hard working chap.

Personally I was of the opinion that Robb had had himself secretly cloned so he could fulfill his busy lifestyle but after working in the same school as himself it's plain to see he's just VERY organised. Crikey, imagine 2 or more of yourself. Imagine the arguements! Cheers Robb, say hello to Hady for me!

Hi All,

You would be suprised to know that I have also Collegues and Students from uni whom E-Mail me constantly regarding questions, sometimes this can take myself a considerable amount of time reading them, If I don't read them they accumulate until the next night....

As far as Cloning goes, Hmm... Not quite perfected yet.

I have been thinking of this subject ever since the post was submitted.. And I really don't have much time to myself, apart from weekends where I refuse to study. (Family Time)...

Cheers,

Robb.....

Oh, I don't know. I've met all 5 of you and they're all nice blokes.

Hmmmm! I have known a few people of this type. They all seem to function perfectly well on 2 hours sleep a night. To make matters worse, they get more done in an hour than the rest of us can get done in three and then they have 22 hours to do it, compared to our 16.

I think it might be some sort of genetic mutation, and have wondered if this might be the next step in the "Evolutionary chain", creating a "super human" sub species. It brings up a moral ethical question. Should we encourage the development of this superhuman strain in the interest of increasing the quality of the human race, or should we discourage it for fear that superior strain might eventually wipe out the gene pool of the rest of us ordinary folk?

(Please do not take offence Rob, at my ramblings. I admire you greatly)

How old are your children, Robb, may I ask?

It helps while they're still young and actually go to bed before their parents!

[Robb]

Hi Lizzie, I don't have any problem answering that question.. I have a 4 year old son, Reece..

Full of beans and is just a constant sponge, soaks up so much information around him....

Cheers,

Robb.....

Ah, Robb, how lovely...
4 is a wonderful age, glad you've got time to spend with him now - and enjoy every precious minute!
Bless you for also finding the time to enrich and enlighten our days,
Liz
