Well mate . That's really impressive . She must be making good money there at Cern.
This means she was looking for the God particle (Higgs boson)
From what I could read , you are in the states and then she was in Switzerland at Cern.
I think that you must really miss her...

But I know Cern is shut down for optimization at this moment for 4 years .For the large Hadron Collider (LHC) to get High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) which increases the number of particle collisions tenfold (!)

Mansell competed in Formula One across 15 seasons, racing for Lotus, Williams, Ferrari and McLaren. He won 31 Grands Prix, but the achievement he had chased for so long finally arrived in 1992 when he became Formula One World Champion with Williams.

His 1992 season was quite something. Mansell won nine races on his way to the championship and became the first driver to win nine Grands Prix in a single season.

But rather than defend his Formula One title, Mansell headed to America in 1993 to race for Newman/Haas in the CART IndyCar World Series and promptly won that championship as well. He became the first rookie to take pole position and win on his CART debut and ended the season as champion, making him the only driver to simultaneously hold the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship and the American open-wheel title.

Mansell later returned to Formula One with Williams and took his 31st and final Grand Prix victory in Australia in 1994. His final F1 appearances came with McLaren the following year. The moustache, the red number five and some absolutely brilliant battles made Mansell one of the most recognisable figures of his era.

Happy 73rd birthday, Nigel Mansell.
'El Leone' was brought up in Brum and had menial jobs funding his F3 career, no born into riches like some for Nige, before being noticed by Lotus's Colin Chapman for his talent and taken on as a driver partnering de Angelis
At Spa in '87 he grabbed a recalcitrant Senna after they both crashed into one another, then in '91 at the BGP Mansell collected Senna on his cars' sidepod for a lift back to the pits when his Mclaren ran dry of fuel before the race ended.
The Tifosi in Italy loved Nige aka El Leone. The Williams he dominated with was due to Frank Dernie's active suspension. Great engineer. He never got the credit he deserved along with American Steve Nichols. Steve brought carbon fiber to F1 from his old employer Hercules (aero******* and he did the MP4/4 with his team.

I lived in the UK during this, so it wasn't too bad.

Yeah, right now her thesis is focused on the hypothetical axion particle. It’s a theoretical particle that could potentially be related to dark matter and help explain some of the unanswered questions in quantum physics.

(she's a theoretical physicist)

My wife is very smart, and I am not LOL.

Always think twice my friend before going for it, it was drummed into me to never to rush into anything however tempting or good it (whatever it is) may look at first and you enjoy it twice as good later.

you can't win an discussion or argument against someone who thinks that critically and not just that, but at the speed of light come up with sound reasoning and arguments.

You guys wow... with my wife nothing happens until we both agree so no one person rules the roost here, so different to what you see on the tv ads and what's made out by the media of the man/hubby being the underdog. Surely I can't be the only one or have I the best partner/wife on the planet ha ha

I do too, I'm just exaggerating it.

Realistically, we do our own thing. As long as we mention it to each other before actually buying something, cost aside, we're pretty independent.

Her money is her money, my money is my money. If I need extra for something, we discuss it, and then I make sure to "pay back" our savings afterward.

Basically, we each have our own freedom to spend what we need, but if we take extra out of our savings, we make sure to bring it back to where it was before and then don't touch it for a year. It's kind of our way of keeping ourselves in check lol.

Ultimately, I usually leave the more complex decisions to her, with my feedback. But sometimes that stresses her out, so I'll make the decision myself. Then she still gets stressed because I made the decision lmao.

we don't own a house so we don't have that responsibility yet or never (I do not have 2mil sitting around to afford in my city)

Although I do have to maintain good behavior to retain access to the family funds LOL. (so there's some partial truth to staying a good pawn in her kingdom)

anyways enough of my personal life unless you want to know more about the black hole that's being made artificially.

when F1 so i can start my AM Alonso cope again.

Looks like you have a good relationship with your wife and sure you have to show you're on the ball to keep in step with her or well...you know what the much larger female black widow spider does to the male if he is slow or if she is starving

Colapinto and Lawson (!)

Still can't believe Franco Colapinto kept it out of the wall on cold tires like that. Insane car control for someone who had zero F1 testing just months before.

This isn't something that we can see everyday . Absolutely World Class (!)

Wow just missing Lawson in the lethargic starting Racing Bull gives Cola the flick wrist action of the day
Lawson should be thanking his lucky stars there.
