FA CUP FINAL

Liverpool v West Ham.
It was an amazing rollercoster of a game. I wanted to express my emotions through the game. So I have graphed it (I am a mathematician after all.)
I have scored my emotion out of 10. 0 being sad and 10 being happy.

Here is the Graph
FACUP graph

Phew. I need to change my pants!

Liverpool 3-3 West Ham
Liverpool won on penalties!
and Ben Fogle awarded them their medals

Own Goal was my fault

Quick Poem


Jonah the Football fan

I shouldn't be watching
It's bringing bad luck
whenver I watch them
the footballers suck
I should turn it off
for the good of the team
But if I do and they win
I'm gonna just scream

PS Laughing at Carraghers own goal! I know its my fault

.. about the intro to the FA cup final

"God those players look young"
No! they are the kids that come on with them

"Oh look Ben Fogle is there"
No! Thats Prince William

Variation on The Cat and Buttered Toast Theory...

Variation on The Cat and Buttered Toast Theory...

An American magazine held a competition, inviting its readers to submit new scientific theories on ANY subject.
Below is the winner:
Subject: Perpetual Motion

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down.

Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground.

If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

.....and then this mail got this reply from one of the recipients:

I've been thinking about this cat/toast business for a while. In the buttered toast case, it's the butter that causes it to land buttered side down - it doesn't have to be toast, the theory works equally well with Jacob's crackers. So to save money you just miss out the toast - and butter the cats.

Also, should there be an imbalance between the effects of cat and butter, there are other substances that have a stronger affinity for carpet.

Probability of carpet impact is determined by the following simple formula: p = s * t(t)/t? where p is the probability of carpet impact, s is the "stain" value of the toast-covering substance - an indicator of the effectiveness of the toast topping in permanently staining the carpet.

Chicken Tikka Masala, for example, has a very high s value, while the s value of water is zero.

t? and t(t) indicate the tone of the carpet and topping - the value of p being strongly related to the relationship between the colour of the carpet and topping, as even chicken tikka masala won't cause a permanent and obvious stain if the carpet is the same colour.

So it is obvious that the probability of carpet impact is maximised if you use chicken tikka masala and a white carpet - in fact this combination gives a p value of one, which is the same as the probability of a cat landing on its feet.

Therefore a cat with chicken tikka masala on its back will be certain to hover in mid air, while there could be problems with buttered toast as the toast may fall off the cat, causing a terrible monorail crash resulting in nauseating images of members of the royal family visiting accident victims in hospital, and politicians saying it wouldn't have happened if their party was in power as there would have been more investment in cat-toast glue research.

Therefore it is in the interests not only of public safety but also public sanity if the buttered toast on cats idea is scrapped, to be replaced by a monorail powered by cats smeared with chicken tikka masala floating above a rail made from white shag pile carpet

White Chicks and Chilli Chocolate

by cj592 @ 2006-05-13 - 08:11:09

Its Saturday Morning and I am feeling quite drowsy. The last thing I need is to hear the excited (and loud) voice of BARRY SCOTT. I may have to turn the advert off.JUST ONE CLICK! AND THE PRATT IS GONE! My Hayfever has started early today, at about 3 am this morning. Eurgh!
Last night when we were watching White Chicks on Sky Movies my OH decided that we needed some chocolate, but the only chocolate we had in the house was a christmas gift... It's the Yorkie Chilli Challenge. You get a spinner and eight piece of Yorkie. Four of them are normal and four of them have chilli in them. Just for a laugh we decided to try the chilli pieces first. I chomped one down and didnt really notice any chilli, but my OH took one bite and screamed.. "Agh this is hot. UGh!" SO I had to finish her piece as well. Perhaps the hay fever/cold symptoms were making it hard to taste things. Needless to say we still have some Chillie chocolate pieces left. Perhaps I should be kind and send them to Victor Meldrew as a treat. :)
