a fellow big chiller - what a top weekend! john peel was crap though - all that gabba shite he always plays. nightmares on wax live were probably the highlight for me, matthew herbert's big band were pretty impressive too.

paul, i might be able to help you out - let me have a look when i get home ste

i've always thought the azev's are top! mac - did you change yours in the end?

has anyone seen the film "being john malkovich"? looks like duffer has slipped through his own portal!!!

before the pedants step in; quialty means its even better than something thats quality!!!

quialty - seen this before & the best thing about it is that i thnk it actually is true!!!

take that as a no then?

at 22 with no ncb i'd say thats very good - you may find slightly better if you seriously shopped around but i wouldn't expect much better than that!

dave me old mate - at it again are you? only just noticed this one and seeing as how you were the only one who beleived me/backed me up on the quizshow thread i thought i'd drop in for a bit of moral support. dave is correct (well i think so anyway) there are a total of 8 bottles shared between 3 people -> each person gets 8/3 bottles (or 2 2/3) the boy with 3 (or 9/3) bottles has 1/3 spare which he gives to the girl. the other boy has 5 (or 15/3) bottles so he has 7/3 spare which he gives to the girl. the girl has received 8/3 bottles of lemonade and has 8 sweets to give back. if the girl gives out 1 sweet for each 1/3 of a bottle she received then one boy gets 1 and the other gets 7. of course, the little girl may have cottoned on to the fact that little boys will hapilly share their lemonade time and time again if they think they are eventually going to get some sweets out of it - if she's takes after most of the female population she probably held on to them a little longer until she gots all the lemonade she could out of them!!! ste

Damn shame! Keep up the good work Matty :D

yep, not the prettiest of cars but pretty quick apparently. didn't they only make a couple of thousand - just enough to be able to race it as a production car i think.

anyone got any idea how much a bmw m1 would go for? i've never seen one in the flesh

you were certainly right about my puzle thread - even if nobody else beleived us!!!

you're not kidding, them things are almost as big as the stock wheel aren't they? my 2p's worth - i've always thought your wheels really suit your car but don't listen to me, go for what you like best! i'm sure you wouldn't have much trouble selling them (or even finding another z of your own to put them on) if you do decide to switch.

i won't even bother

ROFL :) oh sh!t... does that mean me now? i probably deserve it for stating this thread in the first place. (i'm still right though :D )

sorry dave, it looks like i left you on your own all night to argue this one out. did we win in the end then?

using this method, dave would win 2 times out of 3 - guarunteed!

is that right? i can think of lots people i would shoot with a crossbow if i knew wouldn't get more than 6 months!

nope, its in one of three boxes when you make your choice yep if you were presented with two boxes in the first place then this would be perfectly true sort of, this changes the odds on one box to 0/3. the first is still 1/3 so the other must be 2/3

ok then what if you put it this way. three choices, A B C, one is right, two are wrong. you choose A, it has a 1/3 probability of being write. you are left with a 2/3 chance that it is B or C you are told its not B so that means there is a 2/3 chance it is C 2/3 is better odds that 1/3 so you change your answer to C its right, i promise :D

congratulations dave (and pete in the end) - it is better to swap. its already been explained pretty well but in a nutshell: three boxes, A B C contestant picks box A, it has a 1/3 chance of winning box B is then shown to be empty but this does not change te odds of the original bet the choice then becomes 1/3 that the prize is in box A or 2/3 that the prize is not in box A the only other option is box C so the odds of it winning are 2/3

ok then, since we've all got our brains warmed up on stu's thread, lets see what you guys make of this one... a contestant on a gameshow is asked to pick one of three mystery doors. behind one of the doors is a prize (don't know what but i'm sure its dead good!) after the contestant picks one of the doors, the host then opens one of the doors that wasn't picked to reveal that there is nothing behind it. the contestant is then offered the choice to stay with his/her original choice or switch to the other one. does the contestant have a better, worse or equal chance of winning if he/she chooses the other box? discuss.

if there is any difference then i reckon that flying west would be fastest because is is the opposite direction to the one the world spins in. i.e. world is going ----------> you are going ----------> the rate at which you are moving in relation to a point on the earth's surface is equal to your speed - the speed of the earth's rotation if world is going ----------> you are going the rate at which you are moving in relation to a point on the earth's surface is equal to your speed + the speed of the earth's rotation the higher you fly, the more of a difference it would make. i'm probably wrong but who cares?

adi, apologies if that read like an attack on you/your company - it wasn't meant like that :)
