    I learned that sasguru doesn't put spaces after the hyphens at the start of the first three lines of his post, but does for the remaining three lines.

    Unfortunately this is insufficient to determine what his overall strategy might be:
    • No spaces for the first three items, but spaces thereafter;
    • No spaces for the first three, then spaces for the three after that, then no spaces for the next three, ad infinitum, ad nauseam;
    • No spaces for the first 50% of items in the list, rounding down in the case of a list having an odd number of items;
    • No spaces for the first 50% of items in the list, rounding up in the case of a list having an odd number of items;
    • No spaces according to alternating values in the Fibonacci sequence (starting with the fourth value therein) meaning three no-spaces, five spaces, eight no-spaces, thirteen spaces...
    • A random sequence of spaces and no spaces, which just happened to have an initial value which on this occasion was equal to 50% of the total number of items in the list, thereby creating the illusion of purpose;
    • Another strategy that I haven't been able to discern the manifestation of.


    (I also learned that he doesn't use the list input capability of the forum software, but I'm not sure if this is due to his being unaware of it, disliking its admittedly poor user interface, or just being contrary. Or, once again, some reason that I cannot discern.)

          OS, I have been to the Coach and Horses, when I lived in Barnes around 2000. Can't remember much about it,, although most of the pubs in Barnes are decent enough. I used to go more to the one that was next to the car showroom (the Bull something?). More recently I have started going north of the river to Chiswick and quite like the small locals in Sheen - a very underrated area IMHO.

              Of course not - I just got sick of updating my signature.

              Outing my weight on here was the best thing I ever did, as it really spurred me on - but I dont need that anymore.

                Go girl. Well done.

                      Is the Bull's Head - which is the one with the live jazz in the back room, situated on the river by the small mini roundabout?

                      The Sun Inn was the place to be when I drank in Barnes.

                      Sheen is nice, Mrs Jog was born and bred there, we go there quite a lot.
