Large Hadron Collider: Weasel causes shutdown

The Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator at Cern is offline after a short circuit - caused by a weasel.

The unfortunate creature did not survive the encounter with a high-voltage transformer at the site near Geneva in Switzerland.

The LHC was running when a "severe electrical perturbation" occurred in the early hours of Friday morning.

A spokesman for Cern said that the weasel did not get into the tunnels, just the electrical facilities.

Nice to see you again. You're OK are you? We need more of the old hands to come back, the RT is pretty empty at times but the stalwarts try to keep it going.

I haven't been here for years!

Too old to bother now - just biding my time until retirement. All is well.

Thanks for asking.

It's interesting that Ebay has me as registering in 2010. I was on The Round Table about 2003/4 so lord knows how they worked that out. Does Geezer still post? I can't seem to find him anywhere.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that Gary died some years back.

The wrong date might have something to do with the board changes.

Blimey. I never expected you to say that!

How sad.

Very sad, I liked Gary.

All I seem to hear about these days is people passing on. Phone went at lunchtime.... Another one gone!
