You might have done now mate...

Today I bought myself a new pair of sensible walking boots and a little rucksack . I went for a five mile walk in the lake district.I then stopped and rested on a dry stone wall for a while and had a lovely cup of coffee from my thermos flask . I then walked another five miles and had a chocolate biscuit. I then. . . . . .Oh ! sorry I'm rambling. ------------------------------------------- A Jewish Rabbi went to a multi-faith conference and became really friendly with an Irish Roman-catholic preist. On their last evening they were having a char rogether over a parting drink when the Priest said "You know Rabbi, one thing I've never been able to understand is your refusal to eat pork. I'm sure you must have been tempted, so, strictly between us, have you ever eaten pork?" The Rabbi replied "Well, as its just us, I must admit that I did once eat some roast pork with apple sauce and all the trimmings. it was good, but I've managerd to resist the temptation since... But Father, while we're talking about the rules of our religions, I've never really understood your insistence on Celibacy! So, again just between us, have you ever.. you know... been with a girl?" The priest looked round to make sure that no-one was listening and then said "Well, Rabbi, as its only us here I have to confess that I was once fond of a young lady and we spant the night in bed together..." A wide grin spread over the Rabbi's face "Ah... It's better than pork isn't it?" --------------------------------------- Two owls are sat having a beer in a pub. One turns to the other and says, "By the way, I got married last week". The second one says, "You twit, to who?"

Y'all shout about things being bigger and better in Texas......That was just a Texan Flurry

...and that just two of the research scientists...

Some of the work James Clerk Maxwell did with electromagnetics was fascinating but the maths..... beyond me, same with William Hamilton. Strange how so many different branches of physics work on the basis of early langrangian theories, Omega's origins lie there as well. Poisson Algebra anyone??

I fecking hate maths, that's why computers were invented. In an exam I did years ago we had to write the proof of a thing called the Omega Equation...... omega equation do feel free to investigate....

The "quench" issue is something that intrigues me. LHC are pushing the absolutes of Physics to reach the target of formally identifying Higgs boson however how many more absolutes are going to have to be established to get the conditions right to detect the particle. Are they going to have to reach supercooling levels never before achieved to keep the magnets stable? to me at this stage there are more questions than answers as to where the physics goes to reach the targets they are aiming for.

No.... stop.....Enough ... could be worse could be Justin and his "wood" mags

Large Hadron Collider - 3.5 TRILLION Electron Volts You excited yet Tim???

liviob, is it maybe more to do with the platform the footrests give you rather than the height?? the 2010 Evo i was on had a superb balance and feel with a pair of ghost footrests on it.

You know better, she'll slap you... I was too young and stupid to be thinking about burdz back then....late developer!!

That's the age issue for you.....we could manage the weigh in, Monday and with any luck be back in the Fort by 7pm on the Friday. Exam years were the worst, trying to sit o'levels and highers when your mind was in Fort William or what ever groups of sections you would have been at that day. I do remember standing in the High Street comparing Arithmetic and Physics answers with a (now) Mrs Witham many years ago.....

Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Try running a tank of Super unleaded through it every half dozen tanks or so and I'd avoid Tesco's, I always get my bike petrol at the local Shell, know what I'm getting that way.

Nice one tim...what were you looking for to find that

Stiffling technical development will do nothing for trials, I think you are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Giving the management and finances, to some Ecclestone like megalomaniac wouldn't work either. I do not believe you can compare F1 to trials because the base budgets are so far apart it's practically impossible to find areas of parity. Dabster has put your technical arguements to the sword already, personally your flogging a dead horse with this one.

Thanks Spikey, duly emailed. We used Steve last year and he went down a storm but we want to keep it fresh EDIT....... Emails are bouncing back, not a good sign!!

With the exception of Xtreme Trials who have a clash of events and can no longer help us out, we are looking for a trials display team to take part in the Grampian Motorcycle Convention, any help appreciated. I've emailed the group that Shaun Morris was part of, but apart from Jason Finn can't think of any more. Anyone have any contact details for Jason, his website is down Ta

That's lovely to know Borus but answer the question mate..... "HOW MANY HAVE YOU SOLD????"

If only, as a government agency we generate our own revenue, through discretionary and non discretionary government contracts and commercial work so no the less work = more taxes equation fall flat this time round. Just because they've stopped with the Barbie summer nonsense these models are still running, the work goes on, just less emphasis in making the Met Office look a complete cock in the public domain!!

Yup did the facebook one as well, Happy Birthday mate

it's almost like a bonus clicky linky

If you ever have the urge to drag the net there are some bits of weapons technology that would scare the crap out of you, HAARPS is scary, when you've taken the possibilities of it's use to the nth degree of your imagination, there are those out there with a greater and deeper insight and imagination, ever hear of a guy called Oppenheimer??? Remember the film Biggles in the early 80's, the weapon was an ultrasonic weapon that changed the molecular structure of everything in it's field of scope, there was a group of weapons technologists actually spent years after this exploring the concept and trying to make the idea work..... the further you dig, the scarier it gets!!
