Firstly sorry for bugging you so much on Twitter.... Can you tweet you're doing this for proof please? (pesky rules)
My 5 questions from the Iama request
1.How did you go from being a taxi driver to doctor, to broadcaster, all round science go-to guy?
2 What question has been your favourite in your years of broadcasting?
3 You walked across Spain your podcasts indicate that was a religious thing. Are you spiritual, and if so how does this effect your views on science.
4 Why does every podcast seem to have a question about faeces. Is it an Aussie obsession?
5 What's the deal with the shirts?

reminds me of this
While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water.
He came closer still and called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
The old man smiled, and said, “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”
To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, “But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

What was the first notification you had that there was an issue? Was it a problem rerouting so many planes? - I assume a lot of them were fuel heavy?
