It was a bloody Welshman

ROFL at "By about 11am, he hopes to have a beam circulating, to start a set of experiments that should reveal many of the most elusive mysteries in physics. ?Then we can all go for lunch,? he says"

I have just noticed that it is near Geneva, where we are moving to next week. I wonder if it is open to the public. (If it is still there, of course)

I am just amused by ''a few practical problems'' encountered by CERn ''but we're gonna do it anyway...''

We can have a MN meet in Genf. You can all stay in my Atom shelter (pic on profile)

at the irony of all the Swiss having an atomic shelter and building the supercollider

LOL you really DO have a shelter! [impressed]

Ooh they must have switched it on, I just saw France go past the window...

I do, I do! Complete with air filter. We have been informed that we should keep it stocked up with dry goods and water. And a radio.

DH's colleagues have told us that it great for use as a wine cellar

Am very envious of the WC in your shelter Mme Lindt, ours doesn't have one.

I don't think it is plumbed in, in fact I think it is a bidet. That is the colour of lovely bathroom suite.

"MmeLindt, we are ALL moving to Switzerland" - I think your verb is wrong lapin "moving" = "sucked into"

Anyway particles won't start colliding for another month will they?

By which time I will be safe in my atom bunker...

Although if it is a big black hole scenario, that is unlikely to help

Oh, well. I will just have to drink all the wine

I know. Look at mine (on profile)

But I am a bit worried that it will do me no good at all (other than the wine chilling) if we all disappear down a black hole.

Not so clever after all, the Swiss

I know, there has been stuff on the TV here about the science thing, but none of the "help the sky is falling down" Eyeoreism that has gripped UK for days.

The Americans have a pre-election going on. They are even more oblivious to the rest of the world.

I'd just like to point out that near where I live there are huge big signs pointing out the way to the "Secret Nuclear Bunker"
