What are the odds of getting 3 Christy Moore songs in a row How many songs do you have altogether on your iPod 11?
[/quote]

Let x = total Christy Moore songs on iPod 11
Let y = total songs on iPod 11

Probability of getting 3 Christy Moore songs in a row (expressed in fractional odds  /1):
(y^3 - 3 y^2 + 2y) / (x^3 - 3 x^2 + 2x)

1 ...Adored - Roses
2 Midnight Lullaby - Tom Waits
3 Light my Fire (cover) - ?? (from a free Mojo mag cd)
4 U-Mass - Pixies
5 Don't Dream its Over - Crowded House
6 One (cover) - REM with U2
7 Baba O'Riley - The Who
8 Midnight Rambler (live) - Stones
9 I'm All Out of Love - Air Supply (oh dear...)
10 Amazing Grace - Elvis

Nasty exercise in determining music taste credibility that was!!

Yeah, you guys dominated possession, but the goals kept Ottawa in the reckoning right to the whistle.
Hopefully you can put in a good display against Mikes next week - I'm sure you guys don't need anything by way of motivation for that one!!

I thought there was just that dubious (square ball!) goal in it at the death - 3-12 to 2-12.
Fair play to Mikes though - they just seemed to want it a bit more than we did.
Best of luck tomorrow Gabe.

I think there's a big problem coming up soon in Toronto - the Canadian core of clubs is getting older and there's not much new Canadian lads coming in.

I agree 100%, but hopefully the energy directed to youth development recently will reap some reward in the near future...
Gabe, we've not really lost any of our 7 yet, rather last Saturday was just one of those days for Durham; Mikes sensed their chance and really went for it, and we were pretty forutnate to come away with a draw. Hopefully we can play a little more to our potential on the weekend.

Screen, I remember watching that final all right - I think the Gaels beat us (then Ottawa) in the semi or quarter and really looked the part that year. You did well to beat them in the final for sure.

Yeah, Mikes have done well developing a good Canadian core and their silverware haul is testament to that.
I'm playing with Durham at the minute and have been involved in the league for 6 years, so we might have crossed swords in the past!
I'd chase the Mikes on that missing medal - you'd think with so many they'd be a little less protective, eh?!

They've a couple of summer signings over, but the team is backboned by the same guys they've had for the last 4/5 years.
I'd say the summer imports have have had less of an impact on Mikes than on the other Toronto clubs.

Durham won the league pretty convincingly, so would likely have been many people's favourites for the Championship, but Mikes always seem to rise to the occassion and Saturday was no exception - they really should have won it, truth be told.
Ottawa are pretty weak this year so I'd expect to see Vincent's playing the winner of Mikes / Durham in the final.

second- what thoughts would you have if it came out that GAA players had taken steroids, and say some had been involved in All Ireland winning teams?

I've been a steroid-taking GAA player for around 4 years and it hasn't improved my game one iota. My diabetes is thankful for the medication though!
