| Numbers are fun! Posted by grahame at 05:56, 15th July 2026 |     |
We are a very odd forum / place ... every digit in this report is odd ...
We have 373973 posts
Of course, if we were in base 8 (and most of our trains have 8 wheels per carriage) the number would be 1332325 which is not as odd.
I - remember - numbers by patterns. My new passport, 9 digit number, is 2 x 3 digit train classes and the number of the oil exploration contract I worked on in 1972 in my pre-Uni job, and from which I gained an understanding of some geology and rock behaviour and formations which was fascinating but really doesn't have much practical application these days.
This morning, our Friends of Melksham Assembly Hall Facebook Group has attracted its 500th member ... a numeric milestone which I will probably comment on there ...
P.S. The very act of posting this is going to break the pattern. Never mind - we look forward here! Just over 26,000 more posts and we'll be all evened out for a while.
