How do you get 4 elephants in a Mini?

Two in the front, two in the back.

How do you get two whales in a Mini?

Down the M4.

Ahem. Coat, taxi.

Nuclear accident messier than we thought

Air cooled and made of carbon

I always liked the Pile 1 & 2 designs at Sellafield. An air cooled reactor, made from carbon. What could possibly go wrong?

As for this no longer posing a danger to health, tell that to the poor sods decomissioning it! Unfortunately I can't reveal any more or I might be shot several times in the head (cf iPod fire...)

Wheres the IT angle?

Lewis, good on you for getting into DESI and taking photos. And to all the detractors of the weapons industry, if you don't like it, don't look. El Reg's circulation/readership will hardly change, I suspect, when the few detractors who posted here leave never to return.

I've worked in the defence industry, at BAE SYSTEMS, BNFL, and some smaller contractors. The tech is bleeding edge, the employment in the UK is huge - so what if a few projects run over budget? I'd sooner spend the money and be able to put up a Typhoon when a Russian Bear comes knocking, or indeed, remind the French that we won at Waterloo. (What a shame the Chunnel high speed line now comes into St Pancras!)
