AFF's 150,000th post thread....

[Mwenenzi]

Isn't that always the case? As soon as I make a prediction the posting rate slows down and then picks up again after my predicted time. :mrgreen:

Yeh!!, but the posting rate is always lower on the weekends

 

[JohnK]

True, but I think I have seen "Conspiracy Theory", with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts, too many times. I can't get enough of that movie, or Julia Roberts, and I think Mels performance was absolutely brilliant and that last scene is unforgtetable.


You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.
You’d be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I’m alive.
You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There’s nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
Please let me know that it’s real.
You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.

I need you baby, and if it’s quite all right,
I need you baby....

Some of us have no chance on winning

 

[JohnK]

How come my prediction has been greyed out? I still have a chance of winning if the posting rate on the Amex thread increases as expected.

There has been a late rally in the posting rate! There is a slim chance the 150,000th post could occur tomorrow but more than likely it will be the day after....

I suspect you've fallen into the common trap of not realising when your guess ends:

Evan 12/12/08 @ 1:30am (AEDST)
kpc 12/12/08 @ 8:00pm (AEDST)

Assuming no-one else has guessed between these times, you actually have 50% of the difference - ie until 12/12/08 @ 11:15am.

 

[Evan]

Well thats true, but i did realise there was a couple of guesses for the 12th but later in the day, i was working on the assumption not to many posts in the morning. We shall see.

Damn, this is one that I missed registration .

Why? Put a prediction in as soon as you see the thread. It becomes a really exciting contest when there are more predictions....

 

[kpc]

Did I win? woo hoo!!! what's the prize? Never mind...being on the honour roll will be enough for me. I've been offline alot the last few days. Posting this from the superb KL Hilton lounge (thanks to being Hhonors Gold!!) having just returned from Langakawi. Had to cancel my trips to Bkk and Kbv because Bkk was closed!. Langakawi was superb and would recommend it to anyone!

 

[JohnK]

Congratulations to kpc for the closest prediction. Your name will be engraved into the honour roll for all to admire.

I believe this is the 150,000th post. Thanks to all who participated....

Why - Simple. Because the first time I saw this thread was my post above on 12 December, so I missed putting a prediction in before registrations were closed.
