We need a maths teacher.

There’s 366 days in this year so the chances of it being on any day this year is 366. Isn’t it?

Didn;t their drummer die too - about 4/5 years ago?
I'm right again!

'On 13 August 2013 the band's drummer 44-year-old Jon Brookes died from a brain tumour having undergone several operations and treatment for the condition since his initial diagnosis in 2010."

You're right. Rob Collins ...not your typical North Country Boy. He died three years later in a car accident, spookily exactly 24 years ago TODAY. No seat belt and alcohol in his system

Yes, as above...Driving back to Rockfield recording studio after visiting the pubs in Monmouth. Although they said he only had half a pint and played in the one arm bandit all night.

Well it's going to be somewhere between the two. I guess:
((3*365)+366))/4= 365.25 Would we be happy with that?

My point was only that it wasn't that unlikely.....

This year and that year (1996) are leap years so 366*366?

Definitely not

Quite agree about it being far more likely than people think.

Probability always twisted my melon at school.

Forgive me for being a Sicilian bore, but we’ve just started Maltese on Walter Presents on all4. Seventies Italian car heaven.

Fear City on Netflix.. 2 episodes in and enjoying it.. going to watch a few more today... also - acquired taste warning - Frankie Boyle on BBC Iplayer "Excited For You To See And Hate This" ... if you are a fan not as good as older stuff but does contain some decent bits.. best watched with beer and no family in earshot...

Around 2009-10 they were discussing the cost of the London Olympics on mock the week , I can't remember the number discussed but say it was £3bn, a politician had said we hope it will instill a sense of national pride in the British people.
Frankie Boyle said, a sense of national pride, for £3bn we could write **** Off Germany on the moon. :D

Just watched Money Heist on NF and it seems really good. Will continue with it and for any fellow ‘brunette bob fanciers’ that box is well ticked.

Succession, an HBO show loosely based on / inspired by the Murdoch clan. I think Sky still has it but we don't have Sky, so I bit the bullet and bought season 1 on Amazon Prime. Worth every penny.

Bill and Ted 3 - Face The Music - mixed opinions on t'internet but I loved it!

Had to be physically forced to watch the first one. Loved the second one.

Was having dinner with my students one year. Chinese restaurant. Order by numbers:

B3
C4
D9

<three of us in perfect synchrony>

'Hit! You have sunkt my battleship!'
Best 3 out of 5!

Most of the ladies at the table were a little bemused as we collapsed in hysterics
