It's likely to be quiet on here over the weekend as most of its followers are at some shindig in Somerset I believe.

 

That could be bad news for the ANTB Statistical Research Department of the University With Too Much Time On It's Hands who have spent 20 minutes collating data to help to determine the precise day when page 1,000 will be achieved:

 

Below are tabulated the number of days taken to produce 40 pages of ANTB thread on the previous 24 occasions (24 x 40 = 960 pages)

 

No.of days     No of times

 

 30-39                2

 40-49                7

 50-59                5

 60-69                5

 70-79                2

 80-89                1

110-120             1

160-170             1

 

.The shortest number of days to record 40 pages of thread was 33 days.

So it's definitely June 8th then, ( determined by applying the variable coefficient ¥ )

[St Enodoc]

Now you've really got me worried.

 

I know I'll be there with Helstonish.

 

But I was hoping that the rumoured ocean mail special might keep ANTB highbrow officionados away so as not to put me under too much of a spotlight.

 

I was going to enquire whether you had the working times, as I could have popped round to see it pass Taunton?

 

All the best, and if any of the ANTB clan are at SWAG please say hello.

 

TONY

I'll still be here although I will be with the SWAGgers in spirit (hic).
