It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel...

[S1ur]

only a wee bit nervous.

So the Large Hadron Collider gets switched on in 9 days....

Science aim to recreate the conditions of the big bang.

Now come on, nothing can go wrong with that plan right?

Anyone worried?

Disclaimer: don't be scared, dp says its all been risk assessed and there is No Need to Panic. And he is a scientist so he is mad knows.

"I have a trip to Ikea planned in a few weeks" - the end of the world seems a fairly reasonble price to pay in exchange for getting out of a trip to IKEA.

Oh that's so cool. I'm going to have to divorce dh and find a scientist bf. I want to press the button. Am so

I thought Ikea was a black hole

Oh well at least if the universe ceases to exist we won't really now about it

know god I'm shite.

Well, I think even if the world and universe implodes into nothingness and non existance, there will still be pedants and Ikea. Erternally battling with their strange code words

Blerkhoel Sofa anyone?

perhaps a nice split infinitive shelving unit? One either side of the subjunctive settle?

lol at you lot

Acksherly could you all pop over here to help me chose a watch please??

Shallow?? Moi??

I have replied Boys, but I have to question the wisdom of buying a watch in the endtime.

I started reading the New Scientist article but got distracted by the fact that the female detector designer they'd interviewed was called Bilge. Am only doing my periodic Mumsnet lurk in the hope of a baby names thread...
