Title: Tutu day
Post by: Trainfish on February 22, 2022, 12:43:17 AM
With today being 22/2/22 do we all have to post pictures of ourselves wearing a tutu?  >:D

Well its not a Tutu as such, but as they are worn for Ballet (and for whatever nefarious purposes John has) I thought I'd just calm everyone down with a sensible picture of my Daughter (who has an actual Tutu, but I don'y have any pic of her wearing it), just as a point of comparison you understand and to give John a pose to aspire to :)

So, 22.02.2022 is a palindromic day and also a strobogrammatic!

And tonight, at one point, the time will be 22.22.22 on the 22.2.22  :goggleeyes:

I'm away in sunny Chichester tonight and unfortunately didn't pack a tutu in my overnight bag. I do have a plan for later though.....

@dannyboy (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=4209) I would suggest the date does not read the same upside down so it is neither of those.
Title: Re: Tutu day
Post by: dannyboy on February 22, 2022, 02:18:37 PM
'22022022' reads the same backwards and when rotated through 180 degrees when using a digitised number, as in a digital clock, although when looking at the numbers in a mirror, it does read '55055055'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strobogrammatic_number#:~:text=A%20strobogrammatic%20number%20is%20a,69%2C%2096%2C%201001).

@stevewalker (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=5329)
You obviously spotted my mistake at the same time I did Steve, which is why you deleted your post. But as nobody else has said, owt, I won't, although I did find your comment funny.  :thumbsup:

Gutted that I missed the 22:22:22 time tonight but I was enjoying several pints of Fullers/Gales HSB. Is it too late I wonder.................
Title: Re: Tutu day

Definitely. Absolutely definitely.
Title: Re: Tutu day
Post by: Trainfish on February 22, 2022, 11:10:13 PM
Sorry George but you don't count as it's already the 23rd in upside down land.
Title: Re: Tutu day
Post by: Bealman on February 22, 2022, 11:23:24 PM
So it is! My second daughter actually had a baby boy just before midnight on the 21st. She could have waited until 22/2/22!

Well, she couldn't, really!
Title: Re: Tutu day
Post by: Trainfish on February 23, 2022, 12:05:26 AM
Hurrah, as I know you really wanted to see them here we go. As it is still 22/2/22 in some places it would be rude not to add another 2 ......................

Whatever you do, do NOT zoom in to the first one  :goggleeyes:

Sorry, I think this is rather more decent. Can you believe that this was 23 years ago and the 2nd night after I met my wife of today? We did have a dress rehearsal the 1st night of course  :D

At one of the golf clubs I used to be a member if you scored 2x 2s in a round it was also known as a tutu. You can guess I am sure what you had to wear for the rest of the evening in the clubhouse. I never managed it myself  :*(

In case anyone is wondering, "kawai" is Japanese for "Pass me the mind bleach please!".

I don't think anyone's mentioned a point tutu yet  :worried:, bit over the top but early days  :D

Anyway, John, I think you look very dashing and I have frighteningly seen worse (just seen mind  ;)).

Cheers, weave  :beers:

Post by: Trainfish on February 23, 2022, 10:48:42 PM
Thanks darling. I have no idea what a point tutu is and even if I did I probably wouldn't admit to it. As said earlier in this thread that picture was taken a loooooong time ago, 1999 in fact and I'm still with the lady who helped me into it all those years ago (and married to her since 2011 I think) so I must be doing something right. I have no idea what though  :hmmm:

I was under the impression this site was about Choo Choos, not tutus.
