IIRC, several scifi /fantasy stories (e.g Carl Sagan's Contact) are based on scientists/finding messages being buried in pi and other irrational numbers.

Any message would just say "We're out here.... watching".... in a Klingon dialect.

Knowing our luck, it would say "has anyone tasted the delicious talking primates of Sol Three- here's 100 budget-conscious recipes you have to try" :eek::eek:

Well remember the countries that started rocketry- Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union. Kind of warns us to expect they'll be hard b4stards.

Anyway, all your birthdays should be in this number here (I've already found mine):)

Coming from an area/county with NO Waitroses.... I wonder what on earth possesses them to put six so close together.

Often they are tiny. If you settle there we can meet for coffee ( or tap water )at the one in salisbury a couple of times a year. Sort of half way. Usually you get a john lewis with a little waitrose tucked in the basement, this is a waitrose with a mini john lewis in it,:T

no, the best thing about waitrose is that their special offers still apply for their reduced items

I didn't kno that.

That's quite likely but we only know the first "bit" of pi.

The site only checks the known region of it. A four-digit number sequence has every chance of turning up in that region, a five-digit one less so and six-digit ones more rarely. I don't know how many digits a sequence would have to have to not be found.

There we go, six digits then!:T

Anyway, anybody else unable to find theirs?

Waitrose is the other side of town, there are 2 big sains (one 24hour), a 24 hour Tesco and Asda and a Morrisons closer - plus numerous Tesco/Sains locals so we never get to Waitrose although it sounds like I amy need to work a trip close to closing time in on my supemarket travels.

I have an O2 sim I don't use (gets me £5 off the broadband) and DW has just switched to them so it sounds like pizza from zizzis tomorrow. I also got emailed the ebay vouvher - the day after I had spent 270 quid on ebay and I don't think the cashback tracked either.

Today I have been builders errand boy plus done a lot of my chores, school taxi and just finished putting first coat on the guest room. Executive decision: 2 coats will be enough!

Builders are not going to have half finished kitchen by end of Friday. I think I need to re-target them to having the floor down as I reckon given a floor we can have the birthday party on Saturday.

My builders are quicker than yous then:D. I have temp kitchen put in ( with more care than i would have given it and probably better than the old kitchen) plus three new door ways cut out, a new lintel cemented in one. Today the shower goes in and they are ( extra to being asked) taking the bath panels off to see if the damp comes froma stemmable leak. I like the nice builders! :T they also wanted to move furniture to save dh and i that last night.

Soon i will be able to start filling up the temporary kitchen which also means clearing my dining room. :j:j

So the new thing my brain has done that is effecting my eyes is called papilloedema. I am reading a bit about it today ( was not given any info yesterday and had yo ask a few times for them to write it down so i remembered so to look up myself). It has nothing yo do with the symptom i had they other night though, which seems to have been a nonstereotypical presentation of nothing worse than occular migrain. I did not even know you could have purely optical migrains, and reading about symptoms they don't match, but i am content that it sounds right. The eye consultant i saw was really very kind. She was quite young and wearing a Hijab and was very gentle. She said she was grateful for the migraine because it put me back in the system ( she said this in a particular way phrasing which was incredibly endearing). I have to go back to the eyeclinic because she wants to keep me in the system and she feels saying she wants to see me within two months is the best way of doing that.

The problem she said i have was that because i am 'high functioning' with my issues its easy to consider them less than they are.


I am not sure how i feel about much of this. I think its good i have a jolt to be back in the system, but i do not want this new thing (probably a result of the swelling thats in my head i guess). I don't think its that serious but read both that you must never have a lumbar puncture and that it can be relieved by lumbar puncture. I am going to find out which is true and then i might get a tatoo saying 'no lumbar punture, pipilloedema' my lumbar region, just in case i can't say that when needed!
