OH YEA WHAT YOU HAD TO DO!!..
£1 a go... and roll 8 (eight) sixes in one roll.!!!

hence I didnt bother- a guy rolled 5.. when we watched.! .. bit of a ugger if u throw six and not eight- as usually its just six....

they were taking £1's as fast as they could.!!

bloke was shouting its better odds than the lottery- any mathematicians(prof please--) whats the odds on 8 sixes in one throw with 8 dice. (die)

Quiff Wichard

07-05-06, 08:07 PM

lol did u know that?..or read it on the front of that bike??

it is indeed Jim Redman OBEsix times TT winner

and WORLD champion ......

he was telling a story of how he was having a lovely dinner with a certain Enzo ferrari... once and was offered a 50% discount on a new ferrari so - "snapped it up".... cool.. I couldn't afford one with a 90% discount..

and Enzo ferrari just rolled of his tongue as if he was saying he was chatting over the fence with his neighbour..

07-05-06, 09:06 PM

NO-

this person offered him £5 million ....

for ONE particular bike !!!

rock

07-05-06, 09:20 PM

yeah - so if at least one of his bikes is worth £5 million... and if he has a whole collection of them ..... he's clearly rich enough that a 50% discount on a ferrari is probably like pennies to normal people! :lol:

(that reminds me, I wonder if won the lottery last night?)
