A 10 year old into golf? Isn't he about 40 years too young???
I looked at the pics on the 350 site and seen some people building out of car tyres , then I thought why bother? surely the damage in producing these tyres has already been done , perhaps we need to stop producing so much? How many barrels of oil does it take to produce one car tyre?
then I found this which was interesting.

Of course today is important, it's my twin daughters' birthday!
Although they're 8 today, not 10, but still

Although on reflection, it is far from a certainty. I'm sure quite a few twins are born either side of midnight.

Er, not quite, FW. In the earlier thread we discussed the simple proposition that the birthdays of two randomly chosen people had a higher-than-might-be-expected chance of being on the same date.FamilyWiggs said:
Here I was using a hilariously ironic device to suggest that the chance of twins having the same birth date is remote.
D'you follow? Do you see what I was doing, there?
Do try and keep up, there's a good chap.

Yes, what are the chances of that . . . . . ?CatherineB said:
Anyway, never mind twins being born a day apart, how about twins born a whole school-year apart?

Although such a problem probably pales into insignificance compared with being named after a luxury Japanese car.
(Is that last sentence going to get me into trouble here, I wonder?)

Mercedes or Portia and we could have given the parents the benefit of the doubt. I have a perfectly normal name though and don't really like it, so maybe the kid won't mind at all.

How long before we see a child named 911? Or V50?
Our grandson has a playgroup friend called Beck's (named after the beer - apostrophe and all).
I think I'm living on the wrong planet.

I thought you liked them! If he had been named after David Beckham I suppose he wouldn't have had one?
