The Great Tyre Adventure, Part 1

Leela the chunk

Yay, thank you very much for mending my car!
But I hope the wheel does not fall off on the way to the scary mechanics!
That would scar me for life!

Get some of those little nose plaster things that 3M make (well I think it is 3M). They might look like they are about as effective as a chocolate teapot, but they REALLY WORK! Now where's my sponsorship money 3M..

Richard, how is everything? Update me on how your life is developing, please.

Happy New Year!

And a Happy New Year to you, too.

Why I Don't Like Wikipedia

The content has been copied, but split up into sections. I'm sure I could complain, but at least the information there is accurate. I believe Wikipedia says that pages must have content and cannot simply be a page of links. In this case (and many others I'm sure) this seems a foolish policy - all Wikipedia is doing is duplicating content for the sake of it, and is just paraphrasing the internet. Anything that could be put on the wikipedia page is either already on the internet on the official site, or it's incorrect.

I don't like Wikipedia much at the moment ;)

Agreed, you only need to look at the Wiki entry for my old school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormston_School to see that this problem certainly isn't uncommon.

You did however say that a lot of the wiki entry for your clients school was copied from the school website? I thought the wiki 'moderators' or whatever their called usually removed copied pages.

Christmas Eve

Well there is that...

22nd is v.cool, I like the guy that comes out and picks the trees up :) Shame after the third time it gets a little screwed!

Ahh, you beat my new high of 1110! It's the hold buttons that make it easy.

If my rusty stats is right, it's a 1/36 probability of winning something in one full roll? With 20 goes at the start that sounds a bit unfair.

But you have what, 5/12 probability of rolling two the same? Then it's a 1/6 chance of winning. So you should pretty much win something within 8 rolls if you only hold doubles.

Then of course you can hold any the first ones, and it's a 1/3 probability you'll get that one rolling up on the other two in the next go. Again, in 10 goes you should win something.

Those probabilities are only rough, but if you add them all up, you would have to be unlucky to lose, especially if you only go for the monkey. But hey, who cares, it's Christmas!

And your card must still be in the post... ;)

I just got 1130 in about 5 minutes... I thought these things were s'posed to steal your, err, presents, not give them to you. And I've been checking with the postie every day, literally waiting on the doorstep for him to arrive (I think I'm starting to freak him out), but your card is yet to arrive. I assume one day this week you'll turn up in person.
