Post number 200: significant?

Filed under: Numbers and stuff

My 200th post since going live on 6 July, 2004, which is only significant as we work in base 10. Roll-on my 32nd birthday :)

Robbo's in top form again with his analysis of Peter Ebdon's stall tactics against Ronnie O'Sullivan earlier in the week, along with some amusing football chit-chat.

To the extent that I can be, I've been enjoying following the progress of this year's world snooker championships, and today I discovered that the high quality of the BBC's broadband streaming makes it worthy of watching online, albeit through a VPN until Uncle Rob sorts out the long-awaited UK-based strategic solution.

Meanwhile, Pete Clifton reminded me in his weekly post of the pride I felt earlier in the week for being British (and European) at the successful test flight of the Airbus A380. The video footage was quite impressive.

You Brits must also be proud of 'Happy Slapping'. At least you didn't need any help from the Europeans figuring that one out.

I must apologize for my rude comments from Saturday. You have no idea how difficult it is to have two superstar parents. However, I do consider myself American first, then British. As you know, I was conceived in the 4th largest city in America and the greatest borough it the entire world.

Once again I am truly sorry.
