A new competition.

I thought it about time we had a new competition as we haven't had one since the Birthday Party.

The first prize is a night out with me in London and the second prize is two nights out with me in London...................no seriously, the prize is a copy of Azureth's album "Yesterday's Future, Tomorrow's Past".

http://www.progarchives.com/Progress...asp?cd_id=5894

Now for the question:

How much do I Waye....I mean Weigh?

If there's a tie I'll set a tie breaker.

Answers posted on this thread please and the competition closes on 26th November 2004.

several questions

1) Horizontially or upright?

2) How tall are you?

3) Some of us have never seen you. Are you sure you're not a 60 year-old female?

4) Will this be closest w/o going over? That makes it more interesting.

5) At what point...right now?

6) Does this thread make me look fat?

Can't you just take a guess?

I haven't changed that much since my photo in the gallery.

I will weigh myself as soon as the competition closes and that will be the weight that I will go for. Over/Under it doesn't matter.

Have a go.

Of course I can. But some of those factors are important, and others I am just being a total smart-ass.

Well I'll guess you are 6'3". Height is the most impt factor for me....oh well...let's see -

232. The official guess.

Now do I convert this to dollars?

DO really need to know the truth Keith?

I have the disadvantage of having seen you and you are bigger than me.

I'm overweight so that means you are in the region of 120 kilos

You're on Jim..........I'm going into Rick mode now. Is that a pint drunk at a gig in plastic glasses or in a pub with glass ones?

What the hell........I'll just take the scales out with me tonight and weigh it up. The research will be fun anyway.

Weigh to go, Keith!

Finally a quiz that I can come up with an answer....

256. Pounds, not kilos, or stones, or metric tons.

I'll guess your mass at 7.0 slugs.
That's about 37 pounds on the moon.

Azureth CD winging it's way to you.
