It will definitely be on the Saturday. Just a question of what time kickoff.
 
Me, 10 home draws in a row, that’s either corruption or a million to one coincidence.

It was always going to be Burnley or Utd. Great to see Vinny return but it’s not the easiest of ties. It’s good to see so many non-PL teams get there and if you know any Utd fans it’s worth highlighting the Grimsby story…. The last time they were one step away from Wembley in the FA Cup they made history by establishing the record crowd for any game at Old Trafford - that’s right.

You're far, far deeper into statistics and its applications than I ever was Seb, and your understanding of these systems and their everyday relevancy in modern life is beyond mine, but I don't want you to think that my "dog chasing its tail" remark was aimed at you, it was more about my experiences than yours :)

I too applaud your enthusiasm and desire to get these concepts out there for people to understand and learn. I just hope you have more luck than I did :)

And for the record, all but a handful of the mathematicians I have EVER met have been the MOST fun people to have at parties, possibly due to their ability to just think "differently" to the majority of the population in everything they do. It's commonly known as "being a bit mental" :)

No one will ever be able to explain to me why 1/3 is 0.33333, 2/3 is 0.66666 but 3/3 is one whole. And as for sharing a cake with our kid , I always got the biggest half :-)
