Bringing ......... Back
I saw that a house on my street had its windows egged today. How very retro. This led to tales of paint stripper over cars etc.

What's the last retro thing you saw?

Alt. Worst tales of revenge tactics.

altalt. After Movember etc, some of my friends re trying a "Dryathlon", staying sober for a month (I don't know what that means either), Let's think of some b3ta charity events

Or not, I dunno. AT LEAST IM TRYING!!!

I for one am getting heartily fed up of trying to hi-jack months like Movember has, and also stupid bloody national/world "days" doing lolwaki shit for charity
It's Wear A Christmas Jumper Day!

It's Wear A Hat Day!

There are no other facts that are relevant, so nothing needs to be taken into account.
You are attaching an emotional meaning to something in which emotion has no relevance.

That number was stastically no less likely to wrong dial you than any other number. Do you think there's some deeper meaning to every wrong number you get? because any of them are equally as likely as that one.

On which note, Derek Acorah has been charged after crashing his car at the weekend. I really, really, hope that, as well as the drink driving, they charge him for "not seeing it coming"

I love how Most Haunted televised when they caught him out.
They fed him a name 'Creed Kafer' which was an anagram of Derek Faker. Not only did he come up with the name but he hilariously said it when he was "possessed" and yelled it out. CREEEEEEEEEEEED KAAAAAFERRRRRRR!

His real name is Derek Johnson anyway. The whole thing is fake.

surely the likelihood of getting a wrong number from a building that you know
has to be statistically smaller than all the other buildings in the world.

never mind the fact that nobody is in a non-boarding school at 5am...

Erm, no. Not in the slightest.
OK, I'm not being patronising here, I swear, because this part of probability tends to confuse a lot of people, but the subset of phone numbers or buildings you do know (very small) vs the subset of phone numbers of buildings you don't (very large) has no bearing at all on those phone numbers calling you. It's just statistically irrelevant, assuming you assume that the call isn't meant for you. It simply comes down to the number, and each number has an equal chance of calling you. Same as each lottery ball has an equal chance of being drawn.

If the call WAS for you, of course, then the opposite of what you think is actually true, it's much more likely to come from a number of a building you do know, but that's not a straight probability question.

i dreamed my mum was trying to speak to me and i couldn't understand what she was saying
woke up, bad dream, gah, back to sleep.

found mobile in morning with missed call from unknown number at 5am, when I was waking up. dialled it back. was my mother's school. where nobody should have been at 5am, and certainly where nobody had my private mobile number.

That is a bit strange mind.
Ever had a call from the school before?
You hadn't dialled it either?
