Erm...

Union, do you even understand any of this. Is like watching Momento on a diet of LSD and Absinthe

:huh: Union, this gets more wacky by the week, it is still too early my friend!

FoF that does suggest there would ever be a good time for this. Should say though Union that is not a criticism, all geniuses tend to be misunderstood in their own time. Am fairly confident within 20 years this will be the way all rankings are done.

I meant too early in the millenium, Jeff.

Union

Are you employed? I mean how much time do you have on your hands?!

I needn't ask if you have a girlfriend

I am employed, yes, and I'm now two hours behind with my work so show some appreciation please.

And you are right, I don't have a girlfriend, I have a wife.

These threads are like Darts. I'd need at least 5 pints before I got into it.

I like the way it effortlessly cruises before reattaching itself to a great line of champions.

I'd like to see a merging of this idea with Spring's work. A reverse linear inverse list of who was currently ducking Naseem based on their age would be something to behold

Now that would just be silly Jeff.

Or maybe you just lack the ability and imagination to make it happen Union

I await the results of this with anticipation!!

Sorry chaps but this will have to wait until next week, its going to take a lot of 'thought'.
