Paddy wants a job, but the foreman won’t hire him until he passes a little maths test. “Here is your first question,” the foreman says. “Without using numbers, represent the number nine.” “Without numbers?” Paddy says. “That’s easy.” And he proceeds to draw three trees. “What’s this?” the boss asks. “Have you no brain? Tree plus tree plus tree makes nine,” says Paddy. “Fair enough,” says the boss. “Here’s your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.” Paddy stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree and hands it back. The boss scratches his head and says, “How on earth do you get that to represent 99?” “Each of them trees is dirty now. So, it’s dirty tree plus dirty tree plus dirty tree. That makes 99.” “All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.” Paddy stares into space again; he then picks up the picture and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and hands it back. The boss looks at Paddy’s picture. “You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!” Paddy leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers, “a little dog came along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, which makes 100!”

Same here Fred.

Some of mine that I took photos of.

Happy New Year you lot.

Bike Of The Year 2025 ? What happened to Bike of the Year 2024 ?

Hog ma money ?

My New year will be sat on my arse watching telly and eating

I think it's because I don't own it any more. But it won a bike of the month so should be allowed, seeing as this is meant to be bike of the year and not bike of the month.

So what happened to Bike of the Month of December ?

Very true

This is bike of the month for December not the year. Bike of the year should be chosen from 12 bikes that have won bike of the month

Yes it is mine

Nor me.

Merry Christmas to you all

I agree.
