Yes, and, only you know for sure.

It is indeed nice to be an also-ran.

Please pass the white wine, my glass is getting empty, and I thirst. And, I'll have a piece of pi with that, too.

Thanks

Honestly, I send up a whole supply of multiple grammatically correct pis (these pi are square) and furthermore they're self-replicating so they can be cut into all the same shape pieces as the original pi, and what do I get? Transcendentally irrational complaints. [Disappointed] .

But for your defective pi, have a bottle of piss-- uh, Budweiser.

I was hoping for a quadrillion* pieces: that would be a peta-pi.

And a dry crisp white cold wine is my preference.

Well, you see, I was figuring that the weekday rate would be similar enough because many people Ship from work. I didn't have to be perfect after all, I had to be not worst. However, it seems that the weekday rate is notably lower, so I may now be similarly not close enough to be safely not best.

24 hours to go and it's at 12008. I would say that makes me confidant, but then Quizzie would go and change the rules again, so I won't say that. Not at all. No.

No more shiraz. Try some of the sangria. It may even have the last of the shiraz in it. Raul, order more shiraz for Comet.

Less than six hours to go and we're only up to 12009. I'm starting to feel a renewed sense of optimism (barring the remote possiblity that the entire Chelsea football team joins the ship later today, in which case I'll blame icklejen).

Five hours to go and we're 12011. If this hourly rate is kept up it'll be Dave that goes! Maybe things will be exiting after all...

And then there were seven. Which is a lucky number. Unfortunately, it can't be lucky for all of us.

Knock out everyone at once except for the alphabetically first person? (Hart aren't you sorry you changed your name [Razz] ?)

Round Twenty One: UK National Lottery

For this round you must pick six numbers between 1 and 49 inclusive. These numbers will be compared with those drawn in the UK National Lottery on Saturday 11th November and the person with fewest matches will be eliminated.

As there is a high chance of more than one person getting NO MATCHES, you should choose a second set of six numbers to act as a tie-breaker.

You should post your two sets of six numbers, main set followed by second (tie-break) set before 12:00 noon UK time on Saturday.

Good luck in your attempt to predict the future.

Hmmm, can I lure everyone else into spending so much time into researching the chimerical apparent probability patterns of past UK National Lottery Winning Numbers, that they miss the posting deadline and are all knocked out but me?

I could still get all the way to the final! [Smile]

Main set: 1, 4, 16, 25, 36, 47

Back-up: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17

Now, if either of these win big bucks I'll be seriously annoyed.

By the way, kudos to Gwai for picking her number. She really gave me only one of two choices for mine (in order to halve the odds) and she was virtually spot on. [Overused] My number was a direct response to her number.

And QM, [Razz] for changing the goal posts. [Big Grin]

And may I please have the masseuse sent on the first available flight to the Antipodes. [Cool]

Is it the numbers in the top left box here (red 'lotto') we'll be looking at? If so, draw is at 8:30 your time, yes?
