Sub-atomic cock-up

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I think the "Large Hardon Collider" is the nickname of one of the dormitories at [name of public school removed under legal advice] :innocent:

I'll be calling it that from now on. Can't believe I haven't thought of it before.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.
