Quiet isn't it .....

[Liz]

Can't you tell who does all the talkin ;D ;D..they'll all be back tomorrow ...then we'll kop it !! ;D ;D

[Amanda]

I know what you mean Liz!

I guess those who are there can't contribute, and those who aren't there are just staring at the rain. And the ones who have yet to go are probably shopping and packing.

And I'm just hoping and praying ......

[jennifer]

It mightn't be so quiet when they turn on that machine in Switzerland later today

My poor DS has worked himself up into a right state about it

Think I will leave going to the supermarket to do the weekly shop until after they've done the experiment ;D

[Liz]

Good Idea Jennifer ....you wouldn't want to spend all that money unnecessarily ;D ;D

[jennifer]

Quite so ... although I'm sure that wouldn't necessarily be the last thing going through my mind as we get sucked into a black hole

Gong off on a happier tangent one of my daughter's old school friends won a silver medal in Beijing in the 100 m sprint yesterday. Well done, Libby Clegg ;D

[Liz]

OOh well Done Libby

what time are we supposed to be doomed ??

[jennifer]

I think they have switched it on and the thing is up and running already. I believe the 'big bang' is scheduled for mid-day but not sure if that is CET or BST

According to my daughter, if it goes wrong it won't be instantaneous but will take a couple of weeks for the black holes to grow big enough to consume us ... quite how she knows that I'm not sure Perhaps she has been paying attention and not just flirting with the boys in Physics after all

[rodandjackie]

If it is 2 weeks time then we'll still be on Halki. What a way to go ! R

[Liz]

I think my OH was in the black hole whilst on Halki ..he achieved this feat after drinking Souma with Valentis .......took him all day to drag himself out ;D

[Amanda]

I'd read (in The Times I think) that it could take up to 4 years before it's all over. Apparently it could take that long for the 'black hole' to eat it's way from the centre of the earth.

All jolly good fun isn't it?

[jennifer]

At least that gives us all time for a few more trips to Halki, Amanda

[Di]

Hi Liz. We're back now so things will get busier again ;D What's this thing in Switzerland you're talking about

[Liz]

Oh Its nothing really Di .......just a particle splitter thats gonna create a black hole or two and we're all going to be sucked to our Doom !!!!!!!
But more importantly .................WELCOME BACK !!!! .....and tell me the Goss ;D ;D ....what did I miss

[daisy]

Well obviously news about the swiss thingy didn't reach Halki glad someone explained what it is all about were there piccy's of the grand switching on?
Thanks to Di for the info on the Gatwick flight yesterday 4 hours delay coming home Second week running the 10-05 has been delayed the previous week it was 8 hours b****y TC

Halki as great as ever nothing much changes except the swarms of daytrippers still not many of them make it to Ftengnia but Pondomas pretty packed by all accounts.

Will post more when I have more time loads of grotty washing and ironing to do and really tired didn't get in till after midnight due to the flight delay so off to bed now
