Thanks, Mike.

Being the Ninth of January 2009....

I would like to be able to introduce this weeks listing with some relevant babbling but I've had to focus my limited intellectual capacity on the basics of atomic structure so...
Did you know that an atom is made up of a nucleus and several shells and that the outer most shell is called the valence shell..?
The nucleus is made up of Protons & Neutrons...?
The shells of the atom carry the Electrons..?
You will know when my studies of the atom are complete by the smoking hole where West Sussex used to be...

The only German vocab I know, excluding 'himmel', 'achtung' and 'Aieeee' which I learnt from the comics of my youth, is Brustwarze.
