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.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
