D = fn + (p x 0) then AD = - fn - (p x 0)

New Thread. - Hello.

@sockyarn "That's not even a whole fucking person". That made me laugh far too much.

That is really good news about The Mousetrap.

I love live theatre. I tried watching some of the streamed stuff but no atmosphere and it just made me sad.

@MitziK genius explanation.

We went to the west Yorkshire playhouse near Xmas to see some kids theatre, minimal set changes (I know because my lovely friends invited us as guests!) And only two actors in the whole show. It was fabulous. I'd definitely pay to see stuff like that again and I reckon it would be doable with some empty seats.

Just catching up but probably missed things.
Jourdain Hope you are released on parole soon. Good news on the hair.

I got an actual hospital appoint for my follow up MRI today. Aka brain scan. They found some white thingamajig years ago apparently and didn't follow it up. So they did last year and have a follow up next month. They suspect it's nothing but just checking.

Don't quite understand the equation but if it confuses the Ds then good.

Have spent a shift at work wearing a visor. Half the time behibd a plastic screen. Cue custoners havent a clue what i am saying, having to repeat myself endlessly or take the damm visor off. Can staff next to each other cant hear.properly. Overkill or what?

I’ve quite enjoyed some of the live-streams but mostly because they’re shows I’d probably never get to see rather than as a substitute for theatre iyswim. I watched a kind of gothic fairytale musical called The Grinning Man last week. Not the sort of thing I’d normally pick if I was paying but I really enjoyed it.

Can???
Even staff next to each other...

ooo MitziK I think my brains just leaked out of my ears.
I knew there was a good reason why I didn't take Maths at A-levels

@Dowser

Fancy remembering the names!

In the later days they wouldn't take foot passengers, but would take cyclists. The bikes had to get off before the motor vehicles, so I would lead a convoy of trucks ashore each side. A little tense. And Boulogne is much too steep to cycle up after a good French lunch.

Nowadays bikes have to be booked onto a van to go through the Tunnel and be picked up in a car park on the other side. Not nearly such fun. I don't know about the ferries, but the Hovercraft trip was a Thing in itself, preferably fully inflated, though. And Boulogne was the nicest port to just turn up in.

@NannyPhlegm
Said exactly the same
If my times up , I’m going living not cowering in my bunker

Gosh @Willow2017 we’re in sync. I’m in the clanging tube tomorrow for Swiss cheese braynz and I’ve found the perfect muzzle.

Obviously as a single parent the whole fucking thing will be trying from start to finish. Can’t take the kids in so will probably have to leave them in the car with a happy meal and instructions to BE FUCKING HAPPY AND DONT BREAK THE CAR!

@MitziK

If D = fn + (p x 0) then AD = - fn - (p x 0)

Don't you have to tidy it up a bit?

IF D = fn + 0p THEN AD = - fn - 0p

IF D = fn THEN AD = - fn

or the reciprocal of AD is fn

1/AD = fn

Therefore AD = 1/fn

Which implies that D or fn/1 = 1/fn or AD

Therefore fn is either -1 or 1.

So yes or no.

Or in this case, DOOM or NOT DOOM.

It's a long time since I did Maths.

My head hurts.

Love that you have actually worked it out.

The 'IF' is definitely missing at the beginning

But perhaps you can rework it and make it work for next time
the first bit D = fn + (p x 0) is meant to be Dementor = negative (from anywhere) becomes 'fact' plus (positive (again from anywhere) is zeroed) So the other side needs (for the sake of the thread) AD = balance between positive and negative with a health dose of common sense and positivity. (Which isn't really a mathematical equation)

But what we have got is enough to confuse negative and dementing people. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember the hovercraft. Grew up in Kent so we’d nip over for a wander around Calais. It’s a fucking shithole now - 100 times worse than it was in the 80s when I read about it being the murder capital of Europe.

I tell you, you could confuse an idiot with this sort of stuff...

I also found out they have suspended their complaints procedure shock
Well there's a surprise. How can they feel guilty about ignoring genuine need if nobody can tell them about it?

I thought I was reasonably intelligent but dear god @MitziK and @iaintentdead my head is banging now. Never mind confusing the D's, there's one very confused AD here!

@MitziK

I tell you, you could confuse an idiot with this sort of stuff...

My brain has already had to deal with Mr Bogroll double checking the meaning of legalese today. Ironically about the meaning of the word "safe" and it's application to industrial engineering processes.

@MitziK

Love your thinking. You lost me at the second line of tidying it up. I can see what you’re doing but to a mathematical ignoramus like me I like the chaotic complexity, it makes it look kinda scientific 😂😂

@MitziK and all the other maths wizzs: you can explain as much as you like, still won't get it!
@IAintentDead DD wore the same skirt from Yr 7 to Yr11. It was calf-length in Yr 7 & just about decent in Yr 11. I don't know how she avoided detention. We did buy a new skirt but it always seemed to disappear...

@BarkandCheese I'm so super jealous you have worked on a show like that! Are you Theatre in general? It's my absolute favourite thing to do. I always want to know what happens backstage. I have a dance background so I know it's probably boring and stress has shit but one does still wonder 😂

Another child of Kent here, Insane. I remember the hovercraft coming up onto the beach at Folkstone & being fascinated but terrified by the noise.
Went on a Sealink ferry to Boulougne once or twice. People we knew only seemed to go to Calais for the hypermarket.

Stressy as shit*

I'm amazed a show is coming back on!! Really happy but wow. I was thinking the issue was more the audience sitting so close to each other in terms of concern (basically because my assumption is audiences are often older and cast members are usually young or youngish). So it's lovely to see them being this optimistic.

My skirt did that too.
I also had age 11-12 shirts in y7 that tucked into my skirt nearly down to my knees and wore them until I was y11 too.
I was a cheap child

We also had school colour gym knickers to wear under our games skirts. Vile things!

Love the title! Haven't got a damn clue what it means though!!
