I'm glad that interior decoration has improved over the years (arguably...). If you want to have a look at a restaurant that's nicely decorated, then why not take the 360 degree panoramic tour of the 1573 Bar and Grill in Leicester?

And when you've finished that, you might like to take the virtual tour of Canada's Jade Show Home, with an area of 1574 square feet.

If your car looks a bit like this and it's got a chip or scratch then you might need a PEUGEOT 1575 Green JADE Stone Chip Paint Scratch kit.

(1575 is the colour code, not the car model.)

Peugeot is a company well known for its innovative advertising. What about "paint" and "scratch"?

On 1st September 1994, David Reid, Adrian Jeffery and Mark Gorman put the last touch of paint onto the basement wall of their home in Edinburgh and launched 1576 Advertising. The company was "scratched" in February 2008 after running into cash flow difficulties.

Ah, Edinburgh. Capital of the wonderful country of Scotland. You'll also find Kinross in Scotland, with an STD code ending 1577.

Also in Scotland you'll find Hamilton. Although it was an Irishman, William Rowan Hamilton, who developed the concept of the Hamiltonian path. And 1578 is the number of Hamiltonian paths of a 3×8 rectangle graph, according to What's Special About This Number?.

Speaking of paths, you could illuminate your path with this Hinkley H1579SS "Saturn" Path Light.

(Sorry, but 1680 isn't the next number in sequence. Nice to see a new name on the thread though.)

Saturn is one of the largest objects orbiting the Sun. One of the smaller ones is 1580 Betulia, an Amor asteroid discovered in 1950.

Asteroid Betulia is named in honour of Betulia Toro, wife of the astronomer Samuel Herrick. (Wikipedia)

Toro is a lawnmower manufacturer, but their part number 1581 has been discontinued. Fear not! You can use a True-Blue Belt instead. (Scroll down for Toro 1581 reference.)

Sorry. That is what happens when I try to read and post on the forum on my phone. I thought that the last post was 1679 not what it actually was:

Anyway, getting back to the thread which has moved onto the last one being this:

So my 1583 is a Sophie Germain prime.

Is this one alright, then?

Anna Sophie of Anhalt, member of the German ruling dynasty, was born in 1584. She was considered as one of the most educated women of her time.

From one Anna to another. Anna of Tyrol was the wife of Matthias, the Holy Roman Emperor. Together they founded the Capuchin Church, Vienna.

Oh, and Anna was born in 1585.
