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...

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.

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."

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.

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...

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?
