The Italian Job: Saving The Gold

One of my favourite films is the Italian Job, which ends with the stolen gold hanging over the edge of a mountain in the back of a bus.  The Royal Socity of Chemistry held a competition to work out how to save the gold, and here’s the solution.  Brilliant!

Goodbye, Woolies

The very last few people making their way into the Woolworths store on Lothian Road, before the doors were closed forever.

As a child I remember going to Woolworths and buying 7″ singles, tapes, CDs, sweets and Lego. More recently I went there to buy pens and all those other things I could never find around Edinburgh.

Goodbye, farewell.
