Anyone else have fond memories to share of this day?  Blighter was absolutely bang on.

I was on the bus eating Skips when I heard.

Ah man I remember this day so well.  It was actually two days for me, in a way - the day of the prediction itself, and the day I was predicting.  I feel those two days will be forever merged in my mind.  Bliss!


Thanks for bringing back the memories shiftwork2!!

Wasn't it Paul Dirac who predicted the positron? (I mean no disrespect)

I was preparing a letter to my Uncle Jefferson, writing to him in regard of his offer to manage the upkeep of his stately home in Hertfordshire, while he was away in the West Indies completing an important business assignment. I did of course accept, but my wife and I spent an unsettling six months at Jefferson House, culminating in the appearance of an ancestral spirit who warned us never to return to the accursed pile.

Nevertheless, disrespect is what you have given.

Paul Danan wasn't it?

No it was RFV.  Please refer to the thread title cheers

Yep the thread title is nominally clear for anyone who needs to refer back to the facts at short notice

I predicted Tuesday once but you don't see me going on about it.

Yeah you were inspired by a preexisting Tuesday.  That's standing on the shoulders of giants, that.

Spoon of Ploff

well if you're going to be like that i'm not going to predict Friday now.

Replies From View

We don't need any more days predicted mate they already happen anyway

Replies From View

If it wasn't for me predicting the positron it would never have happened.  This is why it was a great day and everyone could have a picnic because of it

Paul Dirac predicted the positron in 1927 (long before you were even a glint in some itinerant wino's eye.)

You'll not be sayin' that should you ever need to go under a PET scanner, in a last desperate attempt to save your miserable life.

Paul Dirac is an anagram of Crap Idiot.  Coincidence?

Sorry had some positron interference going on with my dimensional version of CAB.  Gave the Large Hadron Collider a ring and they sent round one of their lads to fix it all. 

I can see now it was in fact RFV.

Would it not be posited the positron?

I think you're referring to the occasion I opposited a positron. 


That was a fun day, I must say.  The only outing I've ever been on that was an inside-outing, and everyone cried including the positron.
