“I went down there once to see what it was like, but I didn’t really like it. I don’t think I’ll go back.”

Dirty, dirty Tim.

Ok, ok, you had to be there. I swear it was funny at the time.

Quote of Week; 27th April

“Nothing is so dangerous to the progress of the human mind than to assume our views of science are ultimate, that there no mysteries in nature, that our triumphs are complete and that there are no new worlds to conquer.”

~ Sir Humphry Davy

And later Dr Brian Cox of Manchest University and the ATLAS detector at CERN. He was speaking in Febuary on what happened at the LHC and what was going to happen next. Hopefully they’ll fire it up again in June and get some results. Dr Cox ended with this quote. The video of his talk can be found on the TED website.

Quote of Week; 30th March

“I wonder if Tesco deliver out here?”
“Yeah… I love the fact it says ‘We deliver in this area’ on the back of their vans; obviously they deliver in the area if the van is there…”
“Madness, but I don’t think they would come all the way out here to the back roads of the Cairngorms.”
“Oh look, there’s a Tesco van coming around that corner….”


You couldn’t make it up.
