Well frankly it seems more interesting if I don't come to work. Normally the blog ticks along nicely, doing good business and setting the world to rights. Then I'm off for a day and suddenly hundreds of posts arrive as you all take over the show! And a pretty good job you all did too. I'm thinking I should be off more often and let you guys take the strain; if I'm short of quiz questions, confessions or oldies ideas, I know exactly where to go. Way to go bloggers (as young folk say). And thanks to Richard A. who stood up like a trooper and who I now you all love anyway.
I'm hoping things are on a more even keel after a day in duvet land, but you can never be too sure. I shall step forward hesitantly towards today's show. And even though I know you can do this perfectly well without me, the oldies today on the HIGGS BOSON/GOD PARTICLE which is definitely definitely there. They are calling it a 5 sigma result which means you are 99.9999% sure. Which seems a darn sight more certain than most things in life. My attendance today might only be a 3 sigma. The Higgs particle seems a bit like the LIBOR. With one you don't really understand it, but it seems a very important and good thing. With the other you never really understand it either but it seems like a bad thing. Or maybe my brain is fuddled. Oldies about very small things indeed please.
There's an Independence Day Mosh today; you might as well rock your way to choir practice with us after 6.
Have a controlled and ordered Wednesday, see you after 5
