"The army officer who defied orders to save a masterpiece"
You see that sub-headline and you think the orders were to save the masterpiece and he defied them, destroying it. But no, he defied the orders to destroy the masterpiece in order to save it. Sloppy headline writing from the beeb tbpfh!

Every Christmas I'd come running downstairs to the big pile of presents and start unwrapping them as fast as I could. Sometimes there would be fights over who had the best toys but we would all make up later and sit down to have a three hour lunch before watching TV for the rest of the day.

I really miss working at the Royal Mail sorting office.

Cheers for that dude, they can be quite interesting sometimes and I wondered where they'd been banished to!

Forget the dumbing down of the Christmas lecture format, but really Lamp ,what was going on with that every electron in the universe changes it's state to a different one as you heat up the diamond, where did that theory come from??
The whole universe can communicate with every part instantaneously? No matter how far away?
I missed that one.

Its based on the Pauli exclusion principle (quantum mechanics).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle

There's a famous quote about quantum physics - "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it" (Niels Bohr). Quantum mechanics goes against the logic of the everyday world - example: an electron can spin in both directions simultaneously. Sounds impossible doesn't it? But its absolutely true. Another classic example is the double-slit experiment (which Brian Cox made a hash of trying to explain to non-physicists. Jim Al-Khalili explains it better in his book Quantum). There are more things in heaven & earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Edit: the lecture's available on torrents if anyone's into quantum physics enough to D/L it

Just sat through all of the soaps tonight for the first time in years. Eastenders was actually quite good and the girls on Corrie have spectacular tits. Good tv.

I watched 11 minutes of that David Jason thing - Royal Bodyguard. Awful.I wanted to laugh, but just couldn't. Low quality, poor scripting, utterly predictable nonsense. I'd sooner sit through repeats of David Croft & Jeremy Lloyd. At they they knew how to write comedy. Jason's really showing his age & just felt I was seeing more stunt doubles than actors. Shame.

A rough estimate has put the number of stars in the universe at 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Thats a lot.
