The strange things your parents tell you!
When I was a kid my parents told me the sitting on a newspaper would stop me from feeling travel sick when traveling in the car. I'd forgotten about this until recently. I then started to wonder if they were winding us up but it seems my Dad isn't the only person to have had this idea apparently it's supposed to be something to do with static electricity.

Big Bang Day!
On September the 10th they will turn on the CERN Hadron collider I don't really understand the science but apparently the idea is to recreate the immediate aftermath of the "Big Bang" what worries me slightly is that they might recreate the "Big Bang" all over again. Well at least you will be able to follow it all on Radio 4.

Government incompetence!
Well I don't know why I'm surprised but sometimes the level of incompetence of local government amazes me. In the post yesterday I got a form from the city council asking me to confirm my entry on the register of electors. Deciding to be organised I tried to use the website, it wasn't found, there was something odd about the spelling www.canvassmaters.com/sheffield so I tried missing out one of the s's this took me to this website. I rang the information line to let them know that it wasn't working. They thanked me but said they knew and that the telephone line for automated registering wasn't working either. The nice lady had no idea when it would be working. She suggested posting the form might be the most reliable option.
