"The first million years were the worst. After that, things went dowhill." Marvin, HHGTTG.

I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed
- Marvin the paranoid android, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I'm not getting you down at all, am I?
- Marvin the paranoid android, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed.
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Funny, how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse it suddenly does.
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Would you like me to go and stick my head in a bucket of water?
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it.
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Wearily I sit here, pain and misery my only companions.
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Why stop now just when I'm hating it?
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it.
- Marvin the paranoid android The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I won't enjoy it.
- Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Well I wish you'd just tell me rather than try to engage my enthusiasm.
- Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Why should I want to make anything up? Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent anymore of it.
- Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Life! Don't talk to me about life.
- Marvin, the Paranoid Android


Wearily on I go, pain and misery my only companions. And vast intelligence, of course. And infinite sorrow.
- Marvin, the Paranoid Android


Sorry.

Can't a man indulge a little wistful nostalgia without being likened to a paranoid android?

Honestly, you lot really get me down.

OK Susie - just for you. 2 slightly different photos taken recently but I don't look a bit like this in the fields.

Pauline

This really is turning into a "Ms.ukbutterflies" contest

Jack

What beautiful eyes you have! Such a gorgeous colour.

Maybe not a beauty contest but how about guess-the-age? Ouch!

So to start things off. Pauline and Susie both 22.

Jack

I'd agree with you re Susie Jack but you'd have to add a quarter century to that to be anywhere near my age. Thanks for the complement Susie - pity I didn't make more use of them on the day we got drenched at Southwater Woods! - d'you remember now?

P.

Jack but you'd have to add a quarter century to that to be anywhere near my age

But wasn't I a real gent?

Jack

Jack of course is 104, going on 24, I believe!

104 going on 8 morelike.

P.

Of course! Silly me, I thought you looked familiar.

can you figure out my age ?

on my next birthday my age will be a square number.... whose digits are also square numbers

Now take the square root of Charles's age and multiply by the product of two different prime numbers and you have my age. I AM NOT 105.

Jack

so that would be 7 * 2* 11 = 154 Jack ??!!

charles

7 * (1+3) = 28 ????
Surely some mistake here?
(Mind you maths was never my strong point!)

Indeed there is. Square root Charles times the product of two more primes, not times the sum of two primes. Duh!

Jack

=7*1*3=21!

I think you're 70, Jack (though, pedantically, Charles is still only 48)!

Oh, and in case any children have been reading the above posts, 1 is not prime.
