Also you might think that you would need very many more than 24 to make it more likely than not that 2 people would share a birthday but this is again showing that human intuition in these things is often flawed.

Do you ask everyone you've ever met their birthday? Anyway unless your birthday is Feb 29 you share it in the UK with around 190,000 others. Obviously millions worldwide. Guess what, the thousands of babies born every day all share the same birthday! The point is that coincidences happen and we...

Think she had a previous conviction for wearing loud eyebrows in a built up area. Also he'd mentioned on Facebook that his wife was always droning on. Understandable that this would lead the police astray.

Get a grip you merchants of woo. It's just statistics. Humans are very good at seeing patterns and attaching meaning where it's not needed. For instance, you only need 24 people in a room for it to be more likely than not that any two will share a birthday. In a room of 75 people and it's almost...

The worst one of these was when I was paying but had forgotten my reading glasses - not usually a problem I can see the numbers and the enter button but I couldn't see this on screen question so when I handed it back to the waiter he said you haven't completed the transaction and then in a loud...

Guy from Gatwick on the radio when questioned as to why they were slow to react and hadn't they planned any counter measures told the reporter they had got it wrong and that they had been looking at the issue for at least a year. What the hell do they do at these meetings? Surely the scenario...

Same as restaurants who hand you the card machine which has the question, gratuities Y or N. Puts you in a bit of a position by asking for a tip instead of leaving it to your discretion.

My favourite Christmas song for all of us atheists - and the true meaning of Christmas for me (brings a tear to the eye when he sings about his baby daughter).

RHLSTP!

Just realised this is an Otis production. Very impressed will check out the other videos. Are the Russian bride ones on the Dark Net?

Agree with that. I also remember there used to be a really good televised 5 a side competition which showcased the skilful players in the old First Division.

Of the top of my head: mutton dressed as lamb, packed like sardines, go hell for leather, the sound of leather on willow, have a beef about something, honey as a term of endearment. Homemade nut loaf for Christmas as is delicious - have to fight the carnivores off.

I'm not into F1 at all but I'm wondering why this guy, who has exceeded all past Brits, does not seem to be well liked. We used to revere drivers like Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Graham Hill etc but this bloke's success doesn't seem to elevate him to greatness. Might just because I'm not into it...

If it wasn't for the visitors I think even more patients would die in their hospital beds. I've never seen a profession with so many obese women as there seems to be in nursing. Are they stealing the patients' food or are fat girls attracted to a career in nursing?

I'm getting CCFC tattooed on my penis. Obviously when fully extended it will read Coventry City Football Club followed by the club emblem. Font size 20 before you ask.

Why do they hide up all the chairs when you visit someone in hospital?

Don't worry about being an atheist HH, most of the great things about Christmas are pagan in origin, only the nativity is for the gullibles. Enjoy it and make merry.

Don't know why but this sentence just tickles me. That's 6 places. Only 1 of which serves dinner on a trowel.

This dinner on a trowel outrage is making me laugh out loud. Is it a brick-layer's or gardener's trowel? Does sound bonkers although bits of wood or slate have been used in pubs I've been to. Trendy nonsense unless served off the taut stomach of a bikini-clad beauty, food should be served on a...

That's exactly my point! The fact that you argued for ages must always mean reasonable doubt. I'm always going to think of you as the Henry Fonda of this thread from now on.
