Fazakerly

Mum threw hers out
this make me sad.
I still have my Speak & Maths though. She tried to give it to some family friend's kid. I said "Listen, he got my Sinclair Spectrum +3. They're loaded. Let him get modern things for his kid. He's not having my Speak & Maths!!"
Wow, time is not a healer...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:13, Reply)

Time?
Pah. It only moves one way.

Anyway - maths, ftw. Along with shippy and a couple of others I (think - not sure) that I might be the resident b3ta mathematician

I can't do numbers
I'm words. Good words and foreign words. Not numbers.
I only use my Speak & Maths to play the Number Stumper game. It requires no arithmetic skills.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:17, Reply)

number stumper?
what's that?
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:18, Reply)

I have no idea how to explain it, but
thanks to Wikipedia:
Number Stumper is a game of Bulls and Cows, whereby one is told the "number [of digits] right" and the "number in wrong place."

I've got my own
company where we build mathematical models for banks, insurance companies, the NHS ... blah blah blah ... very boring.

not wanting to be a total buzzkill
but didn't totp get axed?

EDIT: Also, if you're going to be in London this weekend there's a big b3ta bash. I won't be there but tons of b3tans will.
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:39, Reply)

Oh I couldn't
I barely know anyone. If it was in liverpool I'd be there with a carrier bag of booze and a dangerous expression. I'm easily led and have no sense of danger. So it's best it's all the way down in That London really!

What are you talking about? TOTP is on tonight before that new show Eastenders! *rolls eyes* You're bonkers...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:43, Reply)

Moi? Bonkers?
Yep. Hence my user name :p

Anyhoo - the last b3ta bash in London i knew no-one and showed up anyway, in the interests of being insulted - someone called me an investment banker and i managed to be polite :)

you're not living on the set of ashes to ashes are you?
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:44, Reply)

carriage return. DING!
I'm living in 1984 and 1985, but sometimes I travel to 1996 for a bit of Britpop.

are the bashes good then?
I'm inbetween thinking "How weird and scary" and "ooh imagine being invited to the big kids' party!"
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:48, Reply)

DING
they're very, very good. i'd be going but for reasons that i'll send you a PM about :)

what's the attraction to 1984-5? britpop a la blur / pulp et al ftw
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 15:51, Reply)

1984 is the best year ever
Because you get all the good stuff from the previous years and you also get to live in 1984 when everything looked boss. Well everything had a grey film over it, but the clothes were bright in order to counteract it. I've got a video of TOTP and other programmes taped off the telly in 1984 and one day I'm going to climb into it and walk about getting an OOH from Typhoo and buying my clobber in Chelsea Girl.

God that was a brilliant day, Live Aid. I wasn't there. I was on our verandah dancing to Madonna.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 16:02, Reply)

Sweet!
I remember it being brilliantly, brilliantly sunny and being stuck in the middle of a crowd of people jigging about like a mass jigging about group of people.

(Note: am not explaining this properly. Trust me, it were fab ;)).
