However I did catch them live last year in the "Final" UK shows at the Birmingham Academy as had never seen them live. Complete and utter tripe. Stage set up was clearly way big for the actual stage. To say it was Spinal Tap would be an understatement. Manowar are really quite shocking but have a rabid fanbase. I quote enjoy a couple of their earlier albums but take it with a pinch of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless the aliens commissioned British Steel to make it for them I doubt it’s going to be anything more than some weird art thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, I think the odds of any one of those numbers coming out as the same as any other but having them come out in sequence is probably some kind of mental odds.

Nope Every outcome has an equal probability. I don't think they are refering to the balls coming out in the exact order, the odds of that are much higher. BBC using sequence badly imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted December 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2020 No matter which numbers come up, the odds against that particular combination is staggeringly high. But one combination will always come up against (nearly) all odds. But intuitively, a combination with a familiar pattern will always seem to be particularly unlikely. That's why most people who play the lottery will choose some combination that seems somewhat random to them rather than playing 123456 every time, even if the odds are equal. It's our mind playing tricks on us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Quote Victoria Osborne has never been able to give her 11-year-old son the Christmas he deserves because he doesn't want to make her ill A mum-of-one is so "allergic to Christmas" she could go blind over the festive period. Victoria Osborne cannot be near artificial trees, decorations, wrapping paper and scented candles. The 47-year-old, from Formby, is also crippled with chronic migraines, triggered by bright flashing lights, such as dazzling Christmas displays - the Mirror reports. Victoria, who lives with her 11-year-old Gabriel, has a severe allergy to formaldehyde, which is used to preserve dead bodies but also found in artificial trees and ornaments, gift wrap, Christmas crackers, perfumes, toiletries and cleaning products. Could go blind but happy to post covered in Christmas decorations for the local paper Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Late summer 2021. Should we have a VT meet up ? I have never met anyone at all ever from VT, the structure of the site is changed and it is a community of sorts and if you manage to met up it means you made it through 2020 in one piece. By then Covid will be dead and the UK will be awash with money after Brexit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
