I nominate ******. Although he would advise everyone to 'get f****d', taking that advice would in fact solve most problems:d

Jakes post was quite spectacular on a 30" monitor:(

Mary had a little pig The sow was always grunting So she tied it to a five barred gate A kicked its *u****g ***t in

I like it:) Nissan got there first though..........The S Cargo

Well, it looks like I've been owned big time. Columbo explained it better than I did:) On reflection you are right Ian...you need more info than just being told about the 5%.

bless.

all you need to know is that the real ones are 5% (or whatever) heavier than the fakes.

good episode that one

spot on

getting closer, but the scales only work once....you can only weigh one item, or group of items together, once.

For the sake of the challenge, the only difference between the genuine and fake gold coins is that the genuine ones weigh 5% more than the fake ones.

That would work, but when you open the sacks you find there are also some rocks in them too, of different sizes and weights. Foiled ! The generous benefactor smiles, and points toward the weighing scales......

Sorry, no. All three sacks (including contents) weigh exactly the same. Also, to keep things simple, the scales dont work like that....they register one weight only.

Same vein as Gaz's thread recently...... You are in a treasure vault. There are three large sacks in front of you, and a weighing scale that operates with a ten pence piece. One sack contains genuine gold coins. Two sacks contain fake gold coins that visually, are impossible to tell apart from the genuine ones. You are allowed to choose and keep the contents of one sack, and to help you choose you are given a ten pence piece with which you can use the weighing scale once only. You are also told that although each sack weighs exactly the same, the genuine gold coins weigh 5% more than the fake ones. What would you weigh to make sure you choose the right sack ?

took me three years to realise I did, in fact have the (cue chorus of heavenly fanfares) a lovely looking 'B' on my vin plate.

You are indeed amongst friends. So sorry to read this, our thoughts are with you and your family.

hard work sometimes isnt it

Nice to see the Newcastle lasses have improved a lot since I was up there.

Five years ago I paid £15k for a '93 TT Aerotop with around 45,000 miles on it. Three years ago I pxed it against my current '98 TT VVTI tip. I got close to £14k px for the Aero which had done close to 80,000 miles by then, and I paid £23k for mine @ 4,500 miles. No idea what its worth now. Would I pay £20k plus again if a 2001 / 2002 TT VVTI came in tomorrow, with extremely low miles and legally registered ? Hang on, I'll ask the wife. She says yes.

Bet old George Bush cant wait to meet this Sam O'neller guy and hand over the reward and a big slap on the back.

Sounds like a lodger....charge it rent and shag its sister sorry....I'm having a flashback

Sons just come back with some Scrumpy Jack for me. I can play catch up now.

I've just given it a go and Jane is now convinced I've lost the plot totally.
