Bunch of bastards. Looked like they were ignoring me, hunched over their laptops, only one guy engaged with me.

I signed off with "shove your hadron up your fucking collider" and they laughed. "Doesn't make sense" was the last voice I heard as the line went dead.

I always knew you were diss CERN ing

Ha.  You fell for it, that was me.  Soz.

You have to start questioning yourself when even normally mild mannered theoretical physicists think you're a gigantic steaming cunt.

Cranfield, Glasgow, CERN - definitely a pattern forming

But, in all seriousness, what did you actually say to them?

A lot of stuff about hating the BBC

They have a 'neat' bit of software that I want to use for modelling biofilm development in a microfluidic chamber. These dumbos don't care about real world problems, so 'seemingly' shrugged and spread a new layer of quark on their Swiss toast. Will find out if they want to buy into a collaboration soon. Don't hold out much hope, but I have their software anyway as a colleague has helped develop it with them.

Name your TOP 3 that I should reach out to in light of this.

I'm guessing

Abertay
Dundee
Herriot-Watt

Dr Trouser

I would have thought the Times Higher Education award for best fucking university in the whole goddamned UK would be a good indicator.

In all seriousness though the top 3 great bunch of lads would be probably, Manc, Cardiff, Brizzle

Manc - yup, can see that
Cardiff - yup, not bad
Brizzle - snobby cunts

I would say

Exeter
Nottingham
Dundee

Never worked with Trent Poly. Last time I was there was to see My Bloody Valentine in 1988 or 89. Still can't hear properly now.

They're all modelling biofilm development in a microfluidic chamber by the time

If you want anything resembling an interesting social life then that rules out exeter and dundee - all 3 are great for cheap housing though. I did expect Brizzle to be snobby cunts but they surprised me.

what domain do you occupy, maybe that has an influence?

I was at Exeter, nice city but definitely not GBOL.

Engineering mainly.

Those CERN men live in an underground burrow. Their ways are not our ways.

Probably not, I'm not a real academic - I'm a Professor of Practice and not really allowed near students or research. My job is to get large amounts of money out of industry and government.

Particle physics? Farticle physics, more like!
