Hello.

Sorry I missed that reply. Well long story short:

A few years ago I found myself in a situation where my life stopped working from and employment and economy point of view. I brainstormed the situation, realised I needed an unusual solution, and around the same time, I realised that PILOT reports of UFO encounters were very, very likely to be simple factual descriptions of what was being observed, by unusually qualified observers. In short machinery that works in a way that is presently (mostly) unavailable to the human race.

I decided to collect all the information I could, filter it as best as I was able, and pick over the bones to see if I could figure out some novel technology, and thus solve all my employment and financial woes in one hit, as I was getting older and the conventional approach to obtaining money, had failed me, and I didn't want to do "crime" again having turned my back on that as far as is possible, in my youth.

During the journey (which still is not complete yet, although I know a hell of a lot more about exotic physics, and the people who do it, than I did before I started out) I fell in with an inventors group along the way, and have ended up being safety officer (amongst other things) on their/our tabletop nuclear fusion device. I've watched it grow from being a madmans dream into a device that as far as I can determine does something that conventional science with all their diplomas and halls full of gear, and money, money, money, cannot achieve. I'm not sure what it all means, to be honest.

Personally I've found it is far, far, easier to push back the boundary of scientific knowledge than we've been led to believe, but MUCH harder to prosper doing this sort of work. And it's virtually impossible to get anyone to believe what you have done unless you have at least a PHD, but the people who have those, show very limited ability to actually THINK, although they are good at speaking and writing.

TBF I am a bit grumpy disillusioned and tired today, I've had a hard 30 hours or so...

Thanks so much consciousbadger! 

I have found it! Here you go: Brickartist - Home

Wowzar that sounds amazing...! Wish I could have seen that. I'm not close to London unfortunately no easy way of getting there anymore. They all sound cool especially the T-Rex big dinosaur fan here. 

Hello :) I like chess and also write. I love RPG and 'low' fantasy. I once went to a Lego exhibit in east London where a Lego artist had made a scale model of a dinosaur skeleton (T-Rex), the Beatles, and so many other amazing things. I could not believe it!

Hello thanks. It is a lot of fun. I write all sorts, whatever I can dream up and turn in to something amazing.

Hello thanks my Lego friend. You should definitely give it a go again I find it a relaxing and fun way to spend my time. And I don't have to use my legs so it's win win. I used to play with it as the "toy" sometimes I still do but more usually I like to build amazing creations now. Your Investors group sounds exciting. What's going on there? If your comfortable to share.

Hello thanks. I write all sorts, romantic, horror, adventure anything that my mind can conjure up!

Interesting it's a shame we aren't closer we could have played together. I wonder who would win? Probably you I'm not the best at it. And thank you I will.

Welcome here. Chess sounds fun. What kind of stories do you right?

Fair enough! I played to quite a high level when I was younger; learning opening theory did make the game somewhat mechanical over a period of time. Although I am fond of the Sicilian defense! Hope you enjoy your time here.

Welcome fellow Lego enthusiast. It was a long time ago since I last handled lego but it was the "toy" I got the most joy out of as far as I remember. We are doing some experiments in our inventors group which require aspects of the apparatus to be easy to reconfigure and I'm very tempted to try  and find some basic pieces to use for that. In fact, now you have reminded me, I'll go and post that "freecycle" ad.

Welcome smile, what stories do you write?

Hi! No I don't I like to try different ones every time it keeps it interesting and exciting.

Hi Smile. Do you have any favourite chess openings?
