Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

You know Ted, astrology probably helps a lot of guys (and gals) get laid. "Oh, you're a Virgo, I'm a Sage, wanna get it on?" "Sure."
I'd say that's pretty effective.

I remember sitting in my front room several years ago, with about ten people visiting, one of whom had brought a girl down from London, who had a conversation pretty much like the one you mention, and while it carried on gradually the whole of the rest of the room gradually tuned in to this conversation and was watching quite intently. Unfortunately for him, at the end he was blown out, so went off to a caravan at the back of our house in a huff. whereupon we had a hilariouis conversation with all of the women in the room, saying things like "Well he tried Astrology with me" and "Well I had Palmistry".

Now the odds against you choosing that combination (male Sadge, female Virgo) are around 120 to one I think (where is Migeru when I need him?).

I'm a Sadge, Solveig's a Virgo, but I don't recall a conversation QUITE like that.....

I'm a Sage too; and my first girlfriend some 40+ years back was a Virgo. So you have to reduce the odds- I can't name all the signs.

isn't it 144 to 1 (if you specify the sexes) and about half that if you don't?

(I am dredging up some basic statistics from 25 years ago so could be entirely wrong)

Migeru will be back soon. How long can he stay on honeymoon?

I think on Monday or Tuesday we'll get the full cataclysm ;-)
