Well I started trying to defend that line of argument for argument sake, but in the end I conceded the key point, which is that "One of them is a boy" does not really imply anything about the other one. It could be taken to mean "Only one of them is a boy" or "At least one of them is a boy"...

Blimey keep up. We've been there at post #15

It's their own bloody fault. Should've used contraceptives.

Thanks for your psychic insight.

Sure its possible to say it, but its also possible to say "only one of my children is a boy.... and so is the other one", but its a contradiction. However, I'm just being argumentative. You are right. I concede the point.

Nope - don't buy that. That line contradicts the first line. So the answer is zero.

All the omens are stacking up, the luck is turning against us, key players injured / suspended (probably). Doom and tempest awaits. We struggled against Kenwyne Jones last season. We will outplay them but lose 1-0. I can feel it in my water.

Yep. I was locked out of the FA cup quarter final against Norwich. They shut all the doors at about 2.30pm. I watched the game from the roof of one of the houses behind the chicken run.

Yeah its a cultural thing. Just get into the swing of it and always add 15%, unless you genuinely get crap service. Thats very rare though.

I had a UKPC ticket as the registered keeper although my wife was the 'offender'. I ignored it. You then get a series of about 6 letters threatening all sorts. In the final one, they reduce the charge by half in a last desperate attempt to get something out of you. I figure that if you were...

This was said by the British motorcyle industry when the Japanese started making bikes. Then somebody noticed that in fact the Japanese ones didnt leak oil or break down, which was taken as read for the British bikes.

Hope so. She is in my recurring dream anyway.

I'll be darned. Just 18 months ago I got £180 from a scrappie for a clapped out Peugeot 405 - collected. Looks like prices have gone off a cliff.

Either really - in that price bracket it doesn't really matter. If its at a dealer they are generally just trying to shift something they have taken as a px. I've bought at auctions before, but given up on them as they charge pretty high fees both to buyer and seller. It really helps if its...

Bangernomics for me. I look for unfashionable grandad cars with a full service history for under a grand. I run them until they die, then buy another one. Its the cheapest form of motoring by far - but no good if you think its important to be seen in a new/expensive car. Current car: 2002...

I love the Detectorists - happy its been rerun as I missed the first 2 episodes first time around. Brilliantly subtle comedy.

Yes - lets all chortle at the poor people.

That is £83 they are giving you - right? You don't pay money to have half a ton of scrap metal taken away.

Is that a new take on the Blue Peter Tracy Island?

That is brilliant - especially the way they stack.
