    Being an adopted Yorkshireman I am not surprised. Rival to LHC[^] The tight buggers only spent £2m and built it in a disused mine.

    I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

    I am designing the RBHC (Really Big Hadron Collider) in response to the GHC[1] (Giant HC from Google). [1] http://codetojoy.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-releases-giant-hadron-collider.html[^]

      Yeah? Well I'm gonna go build my own hadron collider... with blackjack... and hookers... infact, forget the hadron collider!

                I come from near Boulby. That mine is on the coast and the main shaft goes out under the sea bed. If they cause a big explosion down there, they may set off a tsunami which destroys Belgium! How cool!

                Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

                  Should that read 'they may set off a tsunami which causes millions of pounds worth of improvements' ?

                      That hath not been proven yet! A researcher at Boulby said: "It is a race in the astrophysics community to directly observe dark whale." When are they gonna race over something usefull?

                                          I remember trying to think of famous Belgian people and it is pretty hard, especially if you leave out fictional characters. I think Huygens might be Belgian. Russell
