    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 :)

    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

                                          The article cracked me up; the LHC folks are creating particles while the UK folks are hoping to just happen to be at the right place and right time and see them. (Unfortunately, there are sever identical experiments like the UK one going on and they've pretty much been failures.)
