The moving finger ... thread.

[Woodsie]

As one of my favourite Mathematicians once said

The Moving Finger writes, and, having writ,
Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Now that 40 Baskets has opened the pandoras box of hoisting us on our own petards, I can see many silvertalians cowering in fear of past discretions.

It's a witch hunt I tell you, a witch hunt.

I am conflicted, should auld opinions be forgot... in the name of auld

 

[Woodsie]

I'll give myself up first before @Forty Baskets gets me.

Don't know if I learnt it, but I suspect .....

1) Kelly goes ok, but a year away from FG.
.

My only defence is I said "I suspect"

He still looks exactly the same ... when you have got your hair and moustace right, why change it.

 

[HappilyManly]

No need to defend your viewpoint @Woodsie.

The forum is enriched by the meanderings of the minds of The Sausageroll Eaters 😀

And you are still scamming the 2016 Tipping Comp

Forty Baskets will hit the beach before he hits me.

A valid issue raised here Woodsie , it's not really a Witch Hunt but that quote from the deep sea scroll has clarified what I'm actually doing without realising it.
After listening to all sorts of experts in my early 20's and taking it as gospel I woke up to myself When I realised most of their predictions are wildly out of wack. Most times they get away with it due to the passing of time.
I think they should be held accountable much more.

A forum is much different and despite what many think their opinions don't alter much. However much of the angst on here is now clear to me. Bold statements and predictions are fiercely protected, but the truth is in the future and this is what counts. The debate which can't be won at the time can be won when this very powerful prediction is proven one way or another.
Anyone who informs the forum that we WILL get the wooden spoon in 2017 is having themselves on if they think nobody should settle the debate at some stage.
I may be alone in this notion and if this is the case I will probably stop.

I.m not "against" it, it tickles my sense of humour.

But I think things that are said during the game in the game day thread should be exempt as during the heat of battle all manner of irrational and hysterical calls are made.

Also anything said within 12 hours of a loss ,,, some people really do lose their lollies.

Well that's two minutes of my life i won't be getting back.

Some words of wisdom from the Bard apply here quite well. In some cases a Silvertails life is but a walking shadow, A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (Note: This quote also applies nicely to almost all Parra players and all Parra supporters since Parramatta's inception as a club)

Don't you have a favourite Mathematician? My most favouritist is Erastodenes.

Nah, Parra supporters aren't full of sound and fury, just ****.

Erase derived from his name perhaps ?

Nah, he just measured the circumference of the Earth (accurate to within 6 miles) 200 years before Christ. Which also means that he knew and had proved the Earth was a sphere 1700 years before Columbus.

PPS Using nothing but a stick, a protracter and year 8 maths.

Raymond Smullyan, sadly, very recently lost to this mortal coil.

Yeah but he was 6 miles off!!! loser.

I'm really only quoting this as you used 'PPS' instead of 'PSS' so before you can change it rendering my tears of joy redundant, it's now here forever!

Eratosthenes did have a nice sieve.

What distance did christ measure it to?

 

[Chip and Chase]

What distance did christ measure it to?

He didn't need to measure it, as the creator he already knew the circumference. That's what is cool about being an omnipotent deity - you are the biggest know it all in the universe.

I don't have a favourite mathematician but I got a least favourite.....
That bloody Pythagoras !!!!
Never could get the sh*t that dude laid down.
Pain in the a*se made my life a misery at school.
