Emergency reactor shutdown
Grandad November 17th, 2007
Last night, in the interests of research for this blog, I watched the Late Late Show.
Actually, it was because Herself grabbed the remote control.
We went through that stupid owl thingy for the bank, and then the horrible theme music played.
Then The Plank walked on set.
He had that supercilious look-at-me-am-I-not-soooo-handsome look on his face.

My brain went into emergency shutdown. The neutron rods slammed into the reactor core to prevent a nasty meltdown. It’s a built in safety feature. There was nothing I could do about it.
I don’t remember anything else.
…
Engineers are now working to restore my brain to full working power, and I should be on-line later today.
It’s nice to know that the safety features work.
