A single neutron makes a big difference.
It slows things down
And that's why heavy water is special.

A single team made a big difference.
It slowed them down
And that's why the raid was special.
Dedicated to one of the heroes, Birger Strømsheim, who died this week.

There's a lovely little place, in Scunthorpe,
I go whenever I can.
I try to visit it every day,
As does many a man.

Such wonderful times I've had there,
Memories I won't forget,
There's always something fun to do,
Particularly when it's wet.
This one's rather rude. If you still don't know what it's about and you're not easily offended, the explanation can be found here:

To the untrained eye,
You are just another American.

Going about your business,
Nothing special.

But,

When you step into a booth
You are transformed.

And now you have
Within your grasp

A Super Power!

Which can shape the world...

So please,
When the time comes,
Don't forget to vote.
I thought I ought to re-post this, in time for the Election!

I cheated.
You found out.
We split up.

She cries.
He's angry.
They wish we were still a family.
Before anyone asks, this is fictional.

The office printer's broken,
I ring the I.T. guy.
He tells me that he's busy,
But I sense that's a lie.

I have a secret weapon,
A colleague that I know.
I ask her if she'll ring him,
She says she'll have a go.

Suddenly, he's fixing it,
And now, the problem's gone.
This guy's like his equipment,
Won't work unless turned on.

— The End —
