Sweden
I have just spent a couple of days in Stockholm. I don't think I ever wanted to go to Sweden, but Ryan Air persuaded me wit ha cheap flight. I had a great time. Water
surounds the city. The people are friendly and I didn't get hassle by beggers (a problem when I ma trying to read n the open).
There was enough snow on the ground to make stuff look Nordic, but with out much
chance of me falling on my backside. It did seem a bit expensive, but once I found
the coffe and muffn deal at the 7-11, my food bills went straight down.
I will post my experiences at the Nobel museum at a later date.
It is time for some nice Sake. I read Norwegian Wood while on holiday. What a great
book. I don't normally like love stories but this one was very moving. OK, there were
three suicides, plenty of heavy drinking, and pointless sex. But what do you expectf a Love story set in the laste 60's.
Glasgow
Iam just killing time before I get on a flight to Shannon. I was waitig for
some Japanese food. Everything seems to open at 12:30. I can't even get a beer.
I can get coffee, so that is not o bad. This must be one of those Scottish things.
I am reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Although O like he book, the science
in it is just terrible. I like the idea of CERN having a jet that can travel at
MACH 15. This explain how JOhne Ellis gives some many talks.
Using anti-matter as a energy sorce has a minr flaw. I don't see how
they gain energy from colliding the two beams. The iae is that they store
anti-matter agter a collision at the LHC. Does Dab know that this has not actullay
switched on yt. Also, what does hs have to do with the big bang. The creation of anti-matter happens all the time at accelerators.
After reading Anges and Demons, I have lost faith in Dan Brown. Could it be
that Jesus was not married (as it says in the the book the Da Vinci code).
I can turn water into beer, as last night I said to the barman "take away that nasty
glass of water, and bring me a beer. There is stll life in me."
