Yay! Ferrets for Couldbe

This time I'm starting the thread as I kind of miss the old one.

I think this might've popped up in the old thread, here it is again.. the story of Felicia...
Why Physicists Tried to Put a Ferret in a Particle Accelerator

Robert Sheldon, a British engineer who’d been brought on to NAL to find “shortcuts and money-saving ideas,” suggested a ferret, equipped with a cleaning tool, could do the job, scampering through the vacuum tubes as if flushing rabbits out of a warren. “In his part of Yorkshire, hunters used ferrets,” Frank Beck, a former head of research services at Fermilab, wrote. “A ferret would not hesitate to run down the inside of the stainless steel tube, even if that involved a long journey into the unknown.”

Ferrets for Couldbe!

I didn't know! I've only been in this bit a few times and completely missed it! I feel like finding argent and tackling him with a squishy hug (and you too for telling me)

Ferries are quite topical here in Blighty..

How Chris Grayling became the Fat-out-of-Controller, presiding over transport fiasco after fiasco

Dunkirk could have been so different with Chris Grayling in charge. Instead of the flotilla of small boats sent to bring the army back home, the troops on the beaches would have received a margherita pizza with a bottle of pop on the side.

Hiring Seaborne as a plucky “British start-up” to provide emergency ferry services in the event of a no-deal Brexit must have seemed a good idea, on paper at least, to the man who is still, almost unbelievably, Transport Secretary.

But not such a good idea on the internet, where Seaborne’s terms and conditions of business appeared to have been cut-and-pasted from a fast-food delivery outfit. However, there are no grounds to worry on this account. Grayling’s pick for Operation Rescue will not be unloading chicken tikka masalas at Ramsgate any time soon for one supervening reason – Seaborne has no boats.
