Ha ha, sometimes it's comforting to be reassured what a complete nut job tarot is ;-)


All the Large Hadron Collider does is break things up and then look at the pieces afterwards. It doesn't open a gateway to another dimension, unleash primal evil, suck the brains from children or contact aliens.


It has less likelihood of causing an earthquake in Japan than tarot dropping a plate.

Hello hugh,

Is your farmers playing you up?

I make allowances for old grumps.

Some sort of prime evil slime that has been discorged by a volcanic upheaval,no gateways to another dimension.


How reasuring you didnt get through that way then.

You being an eminent scientist must know these things.

I can understand your anxiety tarot, but you don't need to be an eminent scientist to understand the LHC. It's the most basic form of physics: if you want to know what something is made of then break it up.


Science has brought much to humanity: agriculture, medicine, tools to build our houses and plough the fields. None of these we're created by people who knew exactly what they were doing.


Our future will not be secure in some rural idyll, singing in meadows and sharing superstition. We need to continue to develop technologies and knowledge that will feed, clothe, shelter and usefully engage humanity.


The LHC is a vital component of this progress.


Your resentment would be much more usefully directed at people who tell you lies and half-truths to keep you in a constant state of fear. They only want to control you.

I did ask,Hugh,and that was fascinating,you gave a good delivery of the science aspect, it was only ruined when you

peppered it throughout with sarcasm directed at me.

If there was a pupil in a class taught by someone like you,they would have learnt nothing,the reason being you was

to smug in making quick judgements on peoples mental health,in which you are not really qualified.

Once you insult someone you have lost their interest.

So work on your people skills.

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
