And if anyone should dare to sing the Ukrainian national anthem in Moscow....

When I first clicked on that, my eye was drawn to the small headline at the top of the page: "Safely to their breeding grounds." It seemed remarkably apposite, somehow.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26605974 Scientists say they have extraordinary new evidence to support a Big Bang Theory for the origin of the Universe. Researchers believe they have found the signal left in the sky by the super-rapid expansion of space that must have occurred just fractions of a second after everything came into being. It takes the form of a distinctive twist in the oldest light detectable with telescopes. "This is spectacular," commented Prof Marc Kamionkowski, from Johns Hopkins University. "I've seen the research; the arguments are persuasive, and the scientists involved are among the most careful and conservative people I know," he told BBC News. The breakthrough was announced by an American team working on a project known as BICEP2. This has been using a telescope at the South Pole to make detailed observations of a small patch of sky. The aim has been to try to find a residual marker for "inflation" - the idea that the cosmos experienced an exponential growth spurt in its first trillionth, of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second.

Not the same as standing around talking for 10-15 minutes in the M&S milk aisle. How do you know it was for 10-15 minutes? did it take you that long to choose between red top and green top? There was a queue for the 44p baked beans.

I've had people recognise me from my avatar.

If people can afford to shop in M&S they can afford a bit of pavement art.

I was in town today - but i was disguised as an overweight, ugly elderly man so no one would recognise me.

My avatar's a 'selfie.'

That could be one of his dreams.

I wish to protest in the strongest possible terms that I am easily distinguished from the other assholes! I concede that you do stand out as a distinguished asshole. YAY!

Long before iPads, iPods and iPhones, there was iZal!

Well he had a decent sized chopper from the sounds of it.

And another one for suggesting Bell could ever be 'quick-witted.'

I started to watch it, China - but then I saw the two and three-quarter hour time on it! Spending that amount of time watching a debate like that just isn't worthwhile for me. Sorry.
