At last our role in the universe is confirmed! ;D

I think someone spotted and posted this earlier :D

Oh sorry!    Gets coat.....   :-[

Nah, they only posted a snippet, not the whole thing. Still nice to confirm your importance in potentially destroying the world, eh? :P

That's brilliant!

 ;D


... and as unintelligible as the real thing

I hadn't seen it before - that's superb. Of course we always thought Fairport were the centre of the universe!

Armando Iannuci was amusing on this, predicting that it'll either 1) create a black hole and destroy the world or 2) be a bit boring

Simon, dear twin, just to denote your seniority, the Manchester Guardian was renamed the Guardian in 1959....

;D

it'll always be the manchester guarniad here, Leslie  ::)

Excellent Simon. We always knew you had a place in the universe. {:-) :-*

That's what I said in t'other thread... and now it's confirmed... brilliant (can't understand any of it but fun!)

And always in my old-fogey-style heart too Jim!

Well that's the Wintour T shirt design sorted out then!!  ;D ;D

I always knew that Fairport have been around a long time (after all I've been a fan for 38 years). However , I wasn't aware until now that Fairport had been in at the creation of the universe.

You learn something every day

I like the Cheese Quandrex.  They are, I presume, comparing Fairport Convention to the God Particle itself.

So, if Fairport Convention are the little blue-ish ring, who or what is represented by the central core? The Guv'nor?

And will the CERN experiment finally tell us where indeed the time goes?

Nice one PaulT  8)

It's all PDC (Pretty Damn Cosmic), as Ric might say. LHC = Lovely Holey Cr*cs.

If the experiment were being conducted at Cerne, not CERN, I would imagine that LHC could well mean something totally different - I shall leave it to people's imaginations/dirty minds.  :o

This is brill! Thanks Simon for putting the link up.

Picked up Grauniad from mat, read the G2 article, and NEVER NOTICED FC ON THE DIAGRAM!

Why has my LFCRD (Lightning Fairport Convention Reference Detector) failed me? First time in 41 years.  It even detected Karl Dallas' FC review in Private Eye's Pseuds Corner around 1970. Time for a new flux capacitor Scotty.      

The Pegg Boson?

Sir John Betjeman always said 'Manchester Guardian' to annoy them as he was dismissed as 'arbitrary and irrelevant' by the paper.  
Simon is probably just showing his support for Sir John - who would of course have been a great fan of 'Tiny Tin Lady'.

I'm sure I like the idea of them telling everyone I've been examined by a UN vet - what happened to patient confidentiality???

Did the vet actualy open the box.  ;D ???

Paul

Someone on another forum found a link to a live webcam in the LHC at CERN

Obviously not because I may or may not still be alive  ???

 :o ;D ;D ;D

OK, so who broke it?

dont look at me ::)

I'm okay with it.

It gives us all another few weeks....

Now, that's good!

The answer to Life, The Universe and Fairport's next anniversary is of course...

are we sure reality didnt change when they switched it on?  After all England did beat Croatia that evening ::)

you pose an interesting theory

That's a good point.

If it did change, how would we know? :-\

Well i really enjoy the 4 day cropredy festival run by supergrass ;D and that hasnt changed i am sure.
