Well, there is no way that I spent two days Googling perms of phrases with millions, billions and trillions in them. No sirree, not a hope that is what I did. *because infinity isn’t a number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember any number can be made bigger by adding a half to it. So infinity and a half, is bigger than infinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teo63 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) @Hoggs Struggling with my list of numbers up here locally. I'm normally an ask for forgiveness sort of guy (even I thought I was pushing it with the insect tag last year), but for once I'm going to ask permission! so here goes .......... If a pub or café has the number written in the name does it count? For example café Sixty SIX defiantly has 6 in the name Edited January 28 by teo63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Don't know how to post photos from my phone but got the tag at the Half Moon Cafe in Heysham and now on the Isle of Man to do the tags here. Surprised to be the only biker on the ferry and goodness knows how they deal with thousands arriving for the TT as they could barely cope with just me. They queued all the cars up first and were surprised when there was no space for me to go to the head of the queue. The bike was tied to a railing for the trip. No tie down points like Cal Mac ferries or the NI one. It's as if the staff had never seen a motorbike before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We left the bike in gear on the side stand with the front brake strapped up for good measure. There were one or two bikes in a special cradle - I guess they paid extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
