Weekend plans

So that's another week then.

Highlights included my winking research establishing there is no connection between the eye you find it easier to wink with and the hand you write with. Also I'm now on MyFace Spacebook or whatever it's called so have join the Appreciation Society. No idea what happens now but you've got to be in it to win it.

Off to Goodwood for the weekend. Living it up on Saturday and watching the racing on Sunday. Can't say I'm massively into horse racing but it makes a bit of a change, doesn't it? Will no doubt have the usual arguments with the racing fraternity about whips and the question whether they really enjoy running around with a wee man on their backs?

Charlie was banging on about putting something on a nag with a reference to white in it's name. She's convinced it will win.

Although not quite convinced enough to put a tenner on it.

So here's the joke ...

Once upon a time there were two little skunks named "In" and "Out." They lived in a hollow tree with their mother. Sometime In and Out played outside, but other times they played inside. One day In was out and Out was in. Mother skunk told Out to go out and bring In in. So Out went out and in a few minutes he came in with In.

"My my, Out," she said, "How did you find In so quickly?"

Out just smiled and said "Instinct."

==================
Mental Maths time and a clean sweep by class mates on the phones and email today. Sadly a couple of texters got it wrong so here it is ...

YOUR STARTING NUMBER TODAY IS ... 40

give me 25 percent of that
times 12
50 percent of that
divided by 5
add 19
minus 24
times itself
treble it

AND THAT'S YOUR FINAL ANSWER ... 147
