Perhaps it worked for him but do we all need to be so clever. There are many different approaches to the use of language. Different ways to play with it. I prefer a little less structure myself. <br /><br />Anyhow it's good to meet you here. I'm always on the lookout for good writing.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582466665825763776.post-56975385302564910122010-05-18T11:55:14.657+01:002010-05-18T11:55:14.657+01:00there's a pretty good vacuum in the LHCthere's a pretty good vacuum in the LHCPippa Goldschmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920401306037369031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582466665825763776.post-2864479849011469532010-05-18T10:36:49.559+01:002010-05-18T10:36:49.559+01:00I have heard it said you can build your own vacuum...I have heard it said you can build your own vacuum...John Wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582466665825763776.post-74863180316338999462010-05-11T13:29:16.725+01:002010-05-11T13:29:16.725+01:00Yes, vacuums can be fruitful.
