Number's Up!

My new game to stave off senile dementia is to find a number of the week. It's only being running for a few weeks and recent winners have included:

20: The percentage of Third World debt directly created by the arms industry selling weapons to impoverished African states.
2311: The number of indecent child porn images found on Gary Glitter's computer by the Vietnamese authorities.
58: The percentage of the London Underground that is not actually underground.

Today's winner, though, is 25. That is the amount in seconds I managed to stay upright on a surfbaord in a one-hour lesson. It was a glorious British sporting triumph. Well, for 25 seconds anyway...
