An easy one for the weekend

August 31st, 2007

It happened regularly.

Then it stopped for over a thousand years.

It started again seven years ago.

Since then it has happened over a hundred times, but it won’t happen again for some months.

There are some who will say that in fact it won’t happen again for over two hundred years and that it hasn’t happened recently at all.

    Do you remember when it happened regularly?

  8. Grandad IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 3:25 pm

    Last August, it happened nine times….

  9. Grannymar UNITED KINGDOMon 31 Aug 2007 at 3:39 pm

    If you had to get up that many times in the night go see the doctor!

  10. Grandad IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 3:45 pm

    I don’t bother getting up any more. I blame it on old age. It’s allowed.

  16. SID UNITED KINGDOMon 31 Aug 2007 at 7:47 pm

    Hmmm..El Niño??

    Or is that an El No?

  17. Grandad IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 9:52 pm

    Brianf – I didn’t get laid for over a thousand years???

    Baffled – No.

    SID – Definitely El No.

    Clue…. It will happen again next February :)

    Britney Spears wearing panties?

  19. Grandad IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 9:55 pm

    Fenster – no [?]

    Nancy – She never wears panties. Not when I’m around, anyway.

  20. baffled IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 10:04 pm

    All the numbers that make up the date are even and less than 20?

  21. K8 the Gr8 UNITED KINGDOMon 31 Aug 2007 at 10:08 pm

    By gum, come February next year I’ll be mighty excited!

  22. Grandad IRELANDon 31 Aug 2007 at 11:48 pm

    Yay!!! Baffled wins the prize [whatever that is?]

    Dates made up of even numbers only.

    There was a huge gap between the 28th August 888 [28/8/888] and the 2nd February 2000 [2/2/2002], but now they happen 9 times every second month [up to August] every second year.

    Incredibly boring stuff!!

    I don’t know where that came from.

    Volcanic eruption? The suspense is killing me!

  24. Baino AUSTRALIAon 31 Aug 2007 at 11:55 pm

    Oh and if there’s a prize, I’ll try harder.

  25. robert IRELANDon 01 Sep 2007 at 10:56 am

    My brain! It hurts.

  26. Grandad IRELANDon 01 Sep 2007 at 10:59 am

    Robert – That is nothing to do with this site. That is called a H A N G O V E R.

    Baino – You missed!

  27. Brianf UNITED STATESon 01 Sep 2007 at 11:01 am

    Brianf – I didn’t get laid for over a thousand years???

    Hey, I knew you were old. I just wasn’t sure how old.

  28. Grandad IRELANDon 01 Sep 2007 at 11:09 am

    If I were that old, I’d be mentioned in the Bible. But maybe I am? Who knows?

  29. Grannymar UNITED KINGDOMon 02 Sep 2007 at 11:39 am

    Ian will tell you chapter and verse!

    The Bible was full of old men with beards!

  30. Grandad IRELANDon 02 Sep 2007 at 2:03 pm

    I’ll ask him next time we’re on a tourist cull together.
