Default Extreme trivia

Someone just forward this important bit of trivia to me... it's origin is unknown...

On Thursday, the 4th of May at two min. and three seconds after 1.00am ,the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

THAT WON'T EVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!

At least this holds for countries (like Aussie) who format as dd/mm. For those who format mm/dd you've already missed it!

Talking How can I sleep

Thank you Keith for this simulating piece of information,

Unfortunately I suspect the EU Time Lords will ban this on the grounds that the collective UK populace will become to too enflamed by this knowledge, which in turn would lead to rioting in the streets.
Unless of course you are French where according to today’s news the populace can change the minds of bureaucrats by exercising their rights Ho Hum.

What say you R?

Pete

Quite so, but it could never happen here as the Govt will tell you what's good for you by disseminating EU dictat and keeping its collective ears and eyes firmly closed whilst the rest of us carbon-based bio-chemical work units can redouble our efforts to fill the pension black hole generated by the afore mentioned Govt helping itself to some multi-billion handfulls.

Don't know about Y3K, but I fully expect something between Y2K16 and Y2K26 at the best to get me.

Ah yes, but at least I have my sword hand free to defend the personage from the footpads and villains coming the other way.

Not something I'm likely to do

That culvert would be better treated like the V3 and filled with concrete rather than the money it needs, most of the goods we receive through it would seem to be illegal. . . . . . .look at the problem in the US currently. . . . . . . .

That's very kind of you.

Many thanks,

Why waste good concrete - pull the plug and let the channel back in - we can hide our fish in it so that the bloody thieving foreign seine-netters can't steal them!!!

Dave...
If you don't want them undesireables on your fishing ground all you have to do is paint a bunch of big blue eyeballs on floats and anchor them over your fishing grounds...
You put the evil eye on them they won't come near the place...

And at ten minutes and nine seconds past 11am on the 8th of July, it will be 11.10:09 08/07/06. This will only happen 24 times around the globe and will not occur again until 2106!

Unless of course the Antichrist appears at 06.06:06 on the 06/06/06, then we won't have to worry about calendars at all! (But in which time zone? GMT +6?)

Hi

With all this number talk, I have come to the conclusion you're all really just pasty-skinned, puss-eye Accountants with waaaaaaay too much time on your hands!!!

Who wants to do my Income Tax forms??!!

Darrell
