Oh, and possibly a little Crackdown DLC.
try bringing that onboard a flight from Europe to US as your carry-on ....

Why models? We have a gunshop in the village (they are rather keen on hunting around here), I'm sure you could get some proper stuff, a nice shotgun? And since when have guns come with a CD?

made me think! would it not be funny if the gun jammed and a small red "led" on the side of it says "visit website to update flash bios"

I'll be taking a short break from Pokemon Diamond to go with some uni mates to our annual Eurovision party.

That merits a hearty "congratulations"! Which kind of work did you do? X-ray diffraction studies? Theoretical modeling?

The CD has the assembly 'instructions' on it, in the form of jpegs of each stage of dismantling the Tommy gun and then building the kit around it.

On the same subject:

"Say hello to my little friend!"

My (3 day) weekend:

Sat: Played my first game of football for my local side. Haven't played for 23 years so anything could have happened. We won 7-1 and I scored the last of them. I'm well chuffed I must say. And bloody tired too.

Sun: Groaning in agony after Saturday's exertions. (not happened yet but highly probable)

Must be awake before the wife to organise kids to give her brekkie in bed - Mother's Day here. Then I'll collapse again.

Mon: Go and see endocrinologist about my kaputt thyroid. Been waiting for 9 weeks to get in.

Lucky bugger. The only people I can find to watch Eurovision with are those weird buggers who inhabit #llamasoft.

Shit. That was meant to be a pm

In a wee while, we'll no longer be "on call" so are packing for Mel's dad's do in Leeds.

Have fun one and all whether you're at RV or elsewhere

It's quite easy to get a shotgun on the plane here in the UK, aslong as you have the paperwork and hand it in, it is given to the pilot IIRC.

In October 2007 this comes into force:

So it'll be very difficult to import/buy/transport replica weapons.

Modelling, both classical and ab initio (DFT) - some work on electrochromism in WO3 (that's been published already, PRB) but mainly developing a new algorithm for predicting transition states and applying it to Li+ diffusion in aluminosilicates and silica glass.

I'm *rubbish* at X-ray/neutron structure determination; I'm a much better theorist.

Nothing particularly exciting, I'm afraid. Dividing time between working on some comic strips and reading up on Perl.
