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.

Well, well, well - I see you're still here !!!

Indeed

cee-dee · ‎13-01-2018

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.

_tids_ · ‎13-01-2018

I haven't been here for years!

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

Thanks for asking.

cee-dee · ‎13-01-2018

Ah well, bide your time by coming on here regularly eh?

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.

_tids_ · ‎13-01-2018

Blimey. I never expected you to say that!

How sad.

cee-dee · ‎13-01-2018

Very sad, I liked Gary.

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

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
