Inconsequential concerns

[Tenacious Sloth]

I never quite mastered the twelve times table. I seemed to have survived without it so far, they don't even teach it in schools these days.

I can never remember whether 7x8 is 54 or 56 without having to work it out.

All of the other values in the Times Tables seem to come without conscious thought.

The easiest for me, except the 1* - 6 times table and 10 times table is the 9 times table.

Just add 10 and take away 1, add 10, take away one, etc etc




* - Does the 1 times table even count?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

It also works in other ways for the 8X, 11x and 12x.

I've never mastered cycling with no hands. I'm going to look a right wally crossing the line if I ever win the Tour de France.

What are your inconsequential concerns?

I've mastered cycling with no hands (on 2 bikes) - though I've never mastered winning the Tour de France - or entering any bike race - or being bothered about entering a race - oh well

9s has the magic trick. Open up both hands so you see all 10 fingers. Want to multiply by 7? Fold down 7th finger. 6 to left of it, 3 to right. 63 is answer.

Doesn't work if you live in Norfolk, obvs.

I have never had any of the problems highlighted in an agony column!

I hate to say this......but Alastair is my son. He's also known as Gravel

I never got round to going, I let him know - I lost track of the time and, well, my Mum isn't to well tonight.

I should have told Alistair that if a strange English man and woman turned up, looking for 'Mad Doug' , possibly on bikes, to tell them to p*ss off!




Only kidding @User14044 and @Puddles!

Ooh, I never knew that. There's something to show the oldest grandchild.

So, how many did you have to do to see I I was telling the truth? I reckon 3 goes.

Never again will I enjoy a bottle of Mathers Black. That was my favourite drink.

Oi I was born in Glasgow!

I never knew, sorry.

I have just noticed my Disabled Railcard is to expire in a couple of months.

Should I risk forgetting all about it and wait until the time, or should I phone up and get it sorted in advance, potentially loosing a couple of months on the existing card?
