Here's something I hadn't seen in a long time. Took me by surprise when it came off in my hand.


It did allow smooth, glug-free pouring though.

The Nigerian government found they had almost 24,000 phantom workers on their payroll. I thought that was interesting that fraudsters in Nigeria were able to scam their government payroll.

I wonder how many we have here in the Australian government payroll as well

Came across this puzzle in Reader's Digest:

Each letter from A to I stands for one of the nine numbers listed in the table below.

No two letters have the same numerical value.

Match each letter to a number to make the following equations work.


Number list:

1 4 5
8 12 16
17 18 21


F = A + B

C = B + B

D = B + C

G = B + D

I = A + E

E = D + F

H = F + G

Na. Quite trivial (Readers Digest? Who reads that anymore if ever?)

Have had a nice bottle of red tonight. Better amusements, or sleep.

I think: 1=A: 4=B: 8=C: 12=D: 17=E : 15=F: 16=G: 21=H: 18=I.

But I would be happy for someone to double check my working.

Doesn't make sense to me! Think you need a better bottle of red.

This is AFF! You don't get a second throw at the cans you know!

Hah! In my defence it wasn't my maths that was wrong. Simply my ability to type coherently.

Had a Liberal trolley today at Coles. Dodgy wheel, kept trying to lurch to the right! Bloody difficult to negotiate left turns through the isles!

Still wrong...

Sounds like you were Rudderless.


(PS it is aisles not isles you were trying to negotiate.)

You needed one of these trolleys:

I have a political joke, but it isn't appropriate for polite company...

5 = 1 + 4
F = A + B

8 = 4 + 4
C = B + B

12 = 4 + 8
D = B + C

16 = 4 + 12
G = B + D

18 = 1 + 17
I = A + E

17 = 12 + 5
E = D + F

21 = 5 +16
H = F + G

Still wrong...

I think not.

Are you sure he wasn't all at sea after that bottle of red?
