I am, in general, in favour of health and safety legislation, because I know companies would kill people with neglect if they could. I am less fond of our department's "unique" interpretation of such.
Our machines are getting a new cooling system. Because it is dusty we are forbidden from running experiments. However, the person who set up this exclusion zone still need to have the magnets filled with liquid nitrogen. So, it's not safe enough for me to be there for the ~ 30 minutes it takes me to set up an experiment, but it is safe enough for me to be there for the ~ 45 minutes it takes to fill them up.
Does that make any sense to anyone?

Just had the Labour leaflet through the door. I still want to vote for the Lib Dems but I feel horrible for even thinking of voting against Peter Soulsby.

We now have an interesting situation where a politician is in trouble for speaking the truth about someone. The woman did have some mad bee in her bonnet about foreigners.
The interesting thing has been the response of people I know on Facebook. Amazingly, the people I know who were born abroad seem to agree with me and the Brits who've never lived anywhere else seem to agree with the rabid Tory press. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
