You know, you and I could have some serious fun, locked up together in a room with a large screen TV, a DVD player, and our DVD collections..... talk about similar taste!

A trick I learn to remember 7x8 =56, rearrange the numbers and you get the sequence 5678 or 56 = 7x8
Much easier.
And when you come back to the UK, you are coming up for a visit, you here!

I have a hard time with the times 7 tables, too. And the 9's. And some of the 8's. Okay, most of the 8's.
Basically, anything with numbers makes me crazy.
