I'm going to repeat this thread a couple of days after each test in the series - and at the end I'm going to get myself a bottle of Remy Martin from the duty (not free if you are european) free at Schipol on my way back to blighty and spend an evening doing some amateur number crunching and provide an analysis.

As with all statistical analysis' (what is the plural of analysis?) the sample number determines the value of the results - so please take part!

I will give a 'bottle of your choice' to the the person who participates the most - incentive enough?

(in the event of a tie I will donate 25 GBP to the forums running cost)
