Following months of recent media speculation and then today announcement by CERN, other sub-atomic particles are said to be furious at the lack of column inches dedicated to them. In a hastily-arranged press conference late this morning Mr Nigel Neutron pointed out that "Lately the press has been all Higg's boson this and Higg's boson that and frankly the rest of us haven't had a look-in". Sitting next to him, Miss Pauline Quark was all charm but preferred to put a different spin on things. "To be honest if we want more publicity then we'll need to up our game somewhat - perhaps appearing on TV chat shows and that sort of thing. In fact Percy Proton is quite positive about the idea and willing to appear for free, although we reckon the electrons could make a small charge".
It is believed that anti-matter particles pretty much agree with these sentiments but that for reasons of public safety will be holding their press conference in a separate, and possibly parallel, universe.
