If the “Big Bang” experiment has reproduced the conditions which created the Universe - has the replication of those conditions today created another Universe?  If so - where?  If not - why not?

PS. Have you seen the comment on your riddle, Andee?

Well me finger ends are nearly worn away with all that typing.

Presumably they have fired up the Large hadron collider by now and we are still here. So much for the prophets of doom! If you don’t know ‘the crack’ they were saying that a black hole would be formed and we would all get sucked into it? A bit like your head disappearing down your throat and the rest of your body following it. If you can imagine that. Well thats how I visualised it anyway.

Had to laugh at this.  -  UK’s direct contribution to the LHC is £34m per year, or less than the cost of a pint of beer per adult in the UK per year. - Guess what? 99.99% of the adults would have prefered to have the pint of beer.

They are trying to find out how the universe was created “yes created” that is the word they were using on the proggy that told us all about it.  2.6 billion pounds to NOT find out what we could have told them on the phone. I am sure a lot of them aids orphans in Africa could have managed a wedge of cash like that to put some bread on the table.

Obviously this big tube for wizzing protons up to the speed of light is more important than a few million homeless starving kids. Still it’s not for the likes of us to question the scientists…..is it? Can’t stand in the way of ‘progress’.

Here is another riddle:

I have an eye but cannot see. I am stronger and faster then any man alive but have no limbs. What am I?

Them eclairs sound scrummy yummy Lynda but I could feel my arteries recoiling in horror when I read of all that butter, chocolate and fresh creammmmmmmmmm………………..! Still, it does’nt hurt to dream a little i suppose.

Oh! by the way Ted your little secret is OUT! I know what a ‘balsa stripper’ is. I thought i had better check it out just to make sure it was’nt anything naughty. Don’t worry - your secret is safe with me - for now!  

Anyway I can feel a tired head coming on so it’s time for a little snooooooozzzzzz.

Andrew XXXXXXX

Hi everyone and especially Richard this is for you, you requested my eclair recipe, so here it is,

Eclairs.

4oz Self Raising Flour.

1/4 Pint Water.

2oz Butter or Marg.

2 to 3 Eggs.

For filling and topping.

Fresh Cream and dark chocolate.

 Method.

Sieve flour and salt. Bring water and butter/marg to the boil add the flour stir quickly with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a smooth ball of dough. Remove from heat and slowly blend in one egg at a time until abandoned, then add second egg and beat third and add sufficiently to bring mixture to a velvety consistancy. Pipe onto baking trays and bake at gas7 220c for about 20 minutes, then remove from tray and split, and allow to cool on wire rack then fill with whipped cream and top with dark chocolate leave to set then eat and enjoy.

Hope you enjoy them Richard and Linda, if you cant get them right you will have to come and visit me and i will make you some hehehe. Love to all Lynda from Bridlington. xxxxx
