I may be guilty as I started with a sore throat on Friday night - but if you don't have tonsles, can you give people tonsilitis? Discuss Posted by darich
1) Just because you've had your tonsils removed doesn't mean you can't contract tonsillitis! That's why doctors no longer recommend this invasive procedure.
2) Yesterday afternoon, the GP confirmed that I don't actually have tonsillitis - just a really nasty virus that's caused my throat to swell up and my chest to produce lots of phlegm (apologies for the detail). Anyway, I'm continuing to double-dose paracetamol and ibuprofen. And, on a positive note, I'll have time today to write my second SPT blog!

Get well Soon James, We need someone on the screen to slap down TK, when he gets too Ducky, trainy, Cementy on us Posted by JockBMW
Behave.
You have a choice for this week's topic....
1) The THORP reprocessing plant.
Or...
2) Quarks, hadrons, protons & neutrons. Here's one for you. In the world of sub-atomic small, did you know that there are 6 "flavors" (that's the technical term, & correct spellage) of quarks? Even more fascinating, 4 of the 6 flavors are known by the very technically challenging titles of.....
Up
Down
Top
Bottom
Question 1 - what are the other 2 types of quarks known as?
google is your friend, you'd not guess it in a zillion years, as the 2 missing names are strange but with a certain charm.

In Response to Re: Get well soon Mr H : I have checked with Mycroft (who he, you may well ask), & your answer is not accepted. I need it exactly right, please. Posted by Tikay10

What a strange world the "very small" world of particles is. Imagining something so highly complex that one's eyes glaze over just reading about it, only to find that something so complex as quarks comes in flavors so intriguingly named as Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange, & Charm.
I read in a book yesterday that the so-called Higgs Bosun, aka God Particle, which the LHC at CERN is looking for, amongst other stuff, lasts for one trillionth of one trillionth of one second. Don't blink, eh?
More fascinating wordage. Two of the four fundamental forces are known as "strong interaction", &, wait for it, "weak interaction". Surely they can do better, though in a way, it's half the fascination I guess.
Anyway, we digress. Back to raising with A-K UTG, & whether Jake Cody will be evicted from BB.
There's nothing wrong with him! He's skiving! I saw him last night at Spearmint Rhino's getting a lap-dance. I, er, happened to have wandered in by mistake, on my way to return some books to the library... Posted by RICHORFORD
They have a jazz mags section at the library AND allow returns? Obviously I'm referring to music here.

who is giving the lessons??
who give's a flying mallard?
The alleys this forum strays down!
Hope you're up to snuff soon James.
