20 K for the lovely NooNoo ..

[confus-ed]

Well it doesn't seem two minutes since I was congratulating her for becoming the all time top WD poster & hitting 13k, that girl is prolific :thumbs:

So ladies & genlemen please place your bets on just when she hits that magic mark, she's currently showing with 19,607 ...

My prediction is for 10pm Sunday (& no fixing it Mrs so I can't win !!! :p - :D)

[Ya_know]

Alas, I won't be on line to see it happen. Have fun without me! :cool:

How about, NooNoo keeps it under 20k until I get back on line after the storm...which could be in a week or so... :thumbs:

Sort of a good luck charm... :thumbs:

Whatever time it happens, I hope it only has to happen once. I think hitting a mark 6 times was a little odd! :thumbs:

Get posting NooNoo! Were betting on u!

[gazzak]

367 posts to go at an average of 14.55 per day means that she'll hit 20,000 on Tuesday September 28th at 09:14 am (and 37 seconds).

closely followed by Adept probably

Bloody hell he got the calculator out ! :D

Go on then, what average will adept need to do to beat her to it ? - that's a wotpp challenge & a half !!!!

[TechZ]

I averaged a little more.

[TechZ]

Dont go by the numbers in our Member details section. I average alot more than 4 posts a day, more like
(10+20)/2 = 15 per day!

[TechZ]

SO gaz, when do I cross adept and -ed?

[gazzak]

Calculator? Pah!

Adept to beat NooNoo to 20,000, the calcualtion...

Adept needs to post 7552 times before September 28th to reach 20,000 first (if NooNoo stays constant)
That's 343 posts per day
or
14 per hour
or
1 post every 4.29 minutes!

So in theory it's possible, but I forsee 2 problems here which are...

1. NooNoo ups her count average when she sees the challenge
or
2. NooNoo deletes the mindtrap thread just as Adept looks like winning

Game over my digital pals!

Alrighty a real bet for all you serious WDer's.... what odds will you give me on making 20,000 before Noo Noo and Adept? :thumbs:

point out to her that doilies require washing regularly as they build up dust and dirt thereby increasing output of waste water into an already overloaded local ecology. If, on the other hand, she used wipeable surfaces such as coasters to protect furniture, she would be doing her bit for the environment.

Alternatively, just yacht varnish all wood - that will save you having to repair french polished surfaces from careless hot cups and cold cans. A thick enough coat will also protect the wood underneath being scratched because various computer components were put down for a sec while you picked up your coffee or beer. :thumbs2:

Noo have you been reading good housekeeping or what ? anyway I bet you really really don't like anti-macastas do do you ?

(do you spell it like that ? Doilies that go on chair arms & whatnot anyway..)

Antimacassas... and yes I hate them... having said that, when people come round and sit on the chairs and lean back with their beautifully waxed hair, depositing most of the gungy wax on the chair, I find myself wishing I had one or two.

Vacuum cleaner (motor burnt out) no warranty
DVD player (sound blew up) warranty
Gas stove (wouldn't light the gas) warranty
Gas Oven (kept shutting off) no warranty
Sharp Printer (print head gone) no warranty
Washing machine (brushes on the motor) no warranty

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel a change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not going to hold me down no more
No they're not going to hold me down

'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith
Faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
And I will touch the sky
And they're not going to hold me down no more
And they're not going to change my mind

I've known a wind so cold, seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I've been though the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine, oh yeah
