This year we will experience 4 unusual dates....

1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 !!

NOW figure this out.... take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year & add them together

Was it 111?

It worked for me, but not for my daughter, Bureau. She was born in 2002. She's bitterly disappointed. I won't have you upsetting her like this. What are you going to do about it?

A couple of thousand quid should cover it.

Should have used 102 as her year of birth.....then taken away the last 4 numbers of your credit card, added the weight of the fattest girl you ever dated, multiplied by the number of hours you have spent in bank queues and the answer is 111

It's a lot better, JO.

No more sitting and doing 75-80 snippets. That was stupid.

I am back to writing but having more fun on the forums.

Thanks for asking.

You amaze me, B.

The really good news is that, we're all the same age!

Is it supposed to work for people who are dead?

Not sure it does.

Seems to work as far back as 1900.

It will always work it's numbers.

Want something interesting then look up Benford's Law it is easy to understand but quite remarkable. It's how they discovered the irregularities in the Florida elections when Bush Bro Jeb was 'elected'.

LATEST ON NUMBERS THING:


It doesn't work for people who haven't been born yet. Of the 352 unborn people sampled, a total of 0 got a score of 111.

Just sayin'.

Stuck for garden inspiration? Try JESUS BUDDA

"My garden was looking so tired and lifeless. Then a friend suggested JESUS BUDDA. Now my beds are a riot in Spring and Summer . There's always a colourful remark to be enjoyed, and an endless supply of ironic comments greet the visitor. I can even make wonderful arrangements for the windows, to startle the Vicar."

Let JESUS BUDDA transform your tired old flower beds now!

I thought the Florida election results were due to Alzheimers patients voting multiple times.
