I grew up in Preston, the coat of arms having "PP" meaning "Proud Preston", so they say.
What you may not realise is that"PP" is also the base-35 representation of
900.

And, tying in neatly with the above, the author Doug Sulpy publishes a newsletter on Beatles recordings called The 910. The name baffled me at first until I realized that "the 910" is self-evidently "the one after 909"...tubeguru wrote:Which brings us to one of my favourite Beatles songs: One After 909

Re: Counting
9/11 in the British Calendar was the date of the last Random 15.
Also, if this doesn't stray too close to Tubeguru's warnings, 911 is the American emergency telephone number. This might be considered related to the terrorist attacks though (probably part of the reason they picked that date).
