One of the things that always fascinated me as a child was the Radiometer.....

I was given one by one of my uncles, (who was a science and astronomy teacher), and it intrigued me for many an hour watching it spin in the sunlight.....

Crookes Radiometer...

The same principle could power magnetic trains with vacuum tunnels. Some of us could own a house in the middle of the african jungle for £1500 and commute to New york to work with the train travelling at 7000 miles per hour crossing the bering straights...

Hey Russia gave Alaska to the Americans for the cash of £1.


But the bottom of the artic ocean was cheaper.

I invented a, pasta stirrer, so, that the pasta bows wouldn't float, I then registered it with an Irish international inventors company, and then they were shut down because of 'irregularities'.

I heard that pasta bows only float because they cannot swim...Did your device solve this problem?

I'm just cooking lunch having spent the whole morning tidying the house. I am off to a show this evening though, so chill out time for me tonight.

Hi Dan, Andy, Al and Norman!

Coffee, anyone?





My weather's pretty good today. It's not sub-zero, so we'll be getting lots of rain instead of lots of snow. That means I won't get snowed in today. :]]








And hey! It's Friday! That's a good thing right?

I hope you're all having a good day today. :]]
