Ha ha! Thanks very much.

Want me to paint a picture for you? We're having our entire house carpeted tomorrow, so I've had today off work and have basically taken every single item of furnture and other item we own and manage to cram it in my garage, bathroom or kitchen, which are obviously the only areas that won't be carpeted.

All I have left is a mattress and my laptop. So I'm spending my evening debating with Jimbob here. This must be a worse situation than many UK prisoners currently find themselves in right now.

What's worse? Having this debate or contemplating that you have to move all your furniture back again

Exam Time

Jimmy has one sister. His friend Mark has two sisters, as does his other friend Bob. His friend, Jane, has three sisters. Jimmy's other friend Michael has one sister, as does Jimmy's friend Greame. Five other people that Jimmy knows also just have one sister.

1) What is the mean average number of sisters that Jimmy and his friends have? (1 mark)
2) What is the median average number of sisters that Jimmy and his friends have? (1 mark)
3) If Jimmy and his friends are representative of the norm, how many sisters would the average person have? (1 mark)
4) What is the average price of a house in Bristol? (2 marks)

Show your working.

Ive figured this forum out now.

I can't even be bothered to move the furniture out of one room to get it painted

It's a shame that the same can't be said for averages.

Bloody hell - it was bad enough when we had our bedroom done and I had to move the bed/mattress out on my own. Thought I was going over the banisters at one point!

Can't imagine having the whole place done in one go.

Anyway, don't worry - I'm sure there's many a nutter here who just has a mattress and a laptop, that's all you need to be sat there in your pants on this forum 24/7

Thank you. It is an art.
You really have to get that satirical bite though.
Thankfully, the bulls are gifts that keep on giving.

As parodies go, this one is far more amusing

Given that the promised YOY increased failed to materialise, and
that in fact house prices actually fell, I have to say I quite agree.
This proved to be quite hilarious.



Nice Ignoring by the way.
