Has anyone here seen a movie called "The Mouse that Roared"?
It featured the Q-bomb.
Funny that they should choose that letter, in that chemical reactions involve reactions that release 10's of electron volts/reactant particle, nuclear reactions involve reactions that release millions of electron volts/reactant particle, and, potentially, subnuclear reactions involving quarks could release billions of electron volts/reactant particle.

Q-bomb indeed.
Still a walk in the park compared to bio-weapons, though.
I wonder if there are any Charles Stross fans hereabouts?

Meanwhile forgetting old 50's films and back to this week

How Ed Sheeran is tackling ticket touts
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44195496

In the computerised world we live in it's a disgrace that touts have been allowed to fuck up so many concerts and screw people over, I've seen big gigs sell out in minutes and almost immediately they're on sale for extortionate prices. I refuse to pay but I know many were desperate to see some acts.

Touts are NOT providing a service they are parasites.

Full credit to Ed Sheeran for attempting to see that genuine fans have a decent chance to buy tickets at face value and bollocks to the spivs

I was hoping they'd stolen them so they could eat them and that there would be pictures. Alas not! Still a good story though, given they are serial chicken wing thieves.

It doesn't say what made the restaurant suspect fowl play..(Yes,I have no shame)

**Wendigo** · May 23rd, 2018, 05:15 PM

What an odd thing to steal as I doubt if chicken wings will ever take off

Yulia Skripal has finally made an appearance - I'm very pleased to say. I wish HMG had been a little bit more open about what has been going on from the outset of this event.

I think that I remember recently seeing on one news bulletin that her Father been released from hospital. Am I correct?

If so, this 'deadly toxin attack' doesn't seem quite as deadly as we were told.

President-elect Trump told Lesley Stahl he demeans reporters so the public won't believe them when they report negative things about him.

A US Federal judge tells Strumpet he can't block Twitter users from responding to him.

A couple convicted of torturing and killing their au pair:

Two men convicted of killing four children by arson :

What's the betting that none of them receive even a fraction of the vindictive sentences handed down to the Hatton Garden robbers,Who hurt no one ?
