    So we'd lose...... Chocolate Beer Hercule Poirot Herge's Adventures of TinTin Is that all Belgium has of note?

    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 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.)
