This is all getting very cosy...

Have any of you ever been assigned a really crap PIN number by your bank? Last year my bank sent me a letter with my new credit card PIN number. The number was my four digit postcode written on the envelope! Still - easy to remember! So to conclude - I recommend that Nanuq chooses either my postcode or whatever is tattooed on Ryyannon's arm to make it easier to remember.

Ultimately a good deal is a good deal. Compare with places like Bluenile to get an idea of the online price of the diamond and the ring - being able to see it and try it before you buy is worth a mark-up: question is how much! And don't forget....diamonds really are forever!

On a scale of one to ten - how big a fool do you think the driver of the first truck felt calling for help?

It's all true!

Even funnier, a page from a magazine for the well-travelled Irishman to slap the Assistant in the face with! Woolworths Tsk, the pressures of an international audience! !!

So you're admitting you're stumped? (I joke, I joke!) Of course it's a trick. You're right it doesn't work in that direction, but the two equations can be equal (2 - 3/2)2 = (1 - 3/2)2 can equal 4 - 6 + 9/4 = 1 - 3 + 9/4 (2 - 3/2)2 = (1 - 3/2)2 can also equal 2 - 3/2 = 1 - 3/2 Square roots can have a positive or negative answer. Square root of 9 is 3; but it is also -3. @Nanuq: you need to think of a PIN that Miss U can't guess..... Any ideas anyone?

From the story: "it might be possible for a man, or even for an exceptionally active woman, to have left the train without serious injury" Those delicate dames....

It's real! I promise.

From 4 - 6 + 9/4 = 1 - 3 + 9/4 ?

Alcohol responds.....

191,996; 191,997; 191,998; 191,999; that one at the back - 192,000. I count 192,000 how about you? It took only five days to make all of them.

Those sneaky zeros. When a=b, a-b is always 0. 0 x 50 = 0 proves that 0/0 = 50 0 x 150 = 0 proves that 0/0 = 150 0 x 1309413904834 = 0 proves that 0/0 = 1309413904834 Dividing by 0 disnae work. More fun: -2 = -2 4 - 6 = 1 - 3 4 - 6 + 9/4 = 1 - 3 + 9/4 (2 - 3/2)2 = (1 - 3/2)2 2 - 3/2 = 1 - 3/2 2 = 1

Great stuff! Love to the Langes! I've been checking out some stuff on the pyschology of collecting (in general) - most of it seems rubbish, but something must drive it all. Question is: what?! Cheers!

Now up to 60050....I think we're moving ever-so-slightly faster, but that the rate of catching up is about 0.75 posts per hour. I think there's a good chance we could catch up by September 2015.

That's not what it says on the door....

Oops, just beat you.

I should add to the above: I heartily encourage those that can afford to lose very expensive watches to dive with them....they make fantastic salvage for the next diver! (And of course, there are many that like their watch to 'earn its scrapes' and work it - fair play to them)

Oi, change the record will you? Time to leave for some reflective meditation..... Is there no peace?...

>>>>Kama Sutra...... BTW do any of them accept RWG$ while it's still legal tender? Hehehe....

The Longest Thread.....

This is beginning to look like a serious rival to The Longest Thread! Will it split the forum into Montagues and Capulets?.....

That is true to a point - but I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'afford'. Afford to buy a Rolex, or afford to lose one? Frequent dive trips can punish a watch - if the band or pin breaks, it's gone. And the band and crystal can get scratched quite badly. Of course, if you love your watch enough, you don't want to hurt your baby!

...worrying about cracking / scratching it on something, or it falling off..... Still, if you can afford it or it's insured, then no worries. BTW the Seiko Orange Monster =
