  1. I fully expect a future Bond villain to kidnap this mad scientist one day to conduct chemical warfare experiments against his will, and he will explain the progress to the villain in the same manner. Spoiler alert bond saves him.

  2. The destruction of provincial grammar schools by grammar school educated, guilt-ridden working-class political extremists was even worse than the Beeching report. Just wanton vandalism. So sad.

  3. “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” – Henry Ford.

    Ladies and Gentlemen. This day has come.

  4. Its like reading war and peace if it has no full stops, no sentance ends and restarts, no chapters, just 1 gigantic huge pace with the whole book on it end to end.

    IF YOU… MR CHEMIST ON HERE IS READING THIS. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
