YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.
(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this numbe! r by 2 (just to be bold)
! !

3. Add 5
!

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this yea! r add 1757...
If you haven't, add 1756.

6. Now subtract the four d! igit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

.Following the 'Bomb Scare' on the bus to work, seems I needn't have worried as the good Burghers of Southampton were looking out for me as can be evidenced by the photo of the very spot where the evacuation took place.

Watching a bit of the beeb's coverage of Glastonbury on Saturday night I was a little concerned to see that the 'strobe' warning came a good minute into the Killers set and I had a wholly misplaced chuckle at the thought of some kids fitting in front of the box alert and of the switchboard at the Beeb suffering meltdown.

Still on the subject of the BBC's faux-pas, the recent rains have brought to Boscastle the threat of a recurrence of the floods of three years ago.
The bedraggled, rain soaked reporter stood in front of a stone building and told us that the owner had re-built it brick by brick himself. Pah!

What concerns me is, what exactly do you call this kind of mistake? I've got 'malapropism' in my head or is it a 'misnomer'?
