You won't find a girl in TSR. Turn off the PC and go out.

TSR is the only place I've managed to find girls. Ones that will go out with me anyway

Yeah, believe it or not, the people who post on here are mostly actual real people. Many of whom are actually real life females.

Couldnt have been. I hadnt watched BBC news for the 16 days before my op and I'd seen it. except for the 5mins we saw of the world news which didnt include anything British.

This has made a lot of physicists very happy while the Chemists and Biologists sat around developing new cancer treatments and wondering why the essentially useless science gets all the government funding.

When einstein came up with the theory of lazers no one had any idea's of how it could possibly used, now look at it. Same with microwaves

Just because we don't know any uses yet don't mean in 60years we won't look back thinking that that was obvious and why didn't we think of that use before.

I'm all in favour of pure scientific research (though you'll find einstiens thought experiments ran at a slightly better cost/return than the over £6bn LHC), but I'd still preferentially fund immediate application research when government research money is in short supply.

As a separate point, doing the research for this post lead me to discover that one of the largest and most expensive scientific projects currently working costs between 1/2 and 1/4 of the cost of the UK hosting the Olympic games. Am I alone in being a little depressed at the apparent priorities of our society?

Oh and Lasers has an s not a z. This is one Americanism I will not tolerate, as laser is actually L.A.S.E.R, standing for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Unless of course you were spelling it Ztimulated, in which case I apologise.

But does that mean they would be willing to meet some strangers they talked to over the Internet?

Well the ones I met obviously were. People from forums meet up all the time. It's not really unusual.
