So, I was reading the Diceman book and it is a bit crap. This is not a book review topic. The premise of the book is a guy decides what he is going to do by tossing a dice with the knowledge that he must undertake one of the 6 possible outcomes.

I was thinking; have any of you made a really big decision on a genuine toss of a coin or dice throw? (outside of gambling).

I know, so tense, given what he had done just before. Good film.

I chucked an old girlfriend on the flip of a coin, 12 years ago. I was keen to bin her anyway, but the luck of the coin just confirmed it. The next girlfriend (well they kind of overlapped) is the current Mrs Lasertam, so the flip worked out well.

Agree! Once through the first 200 pages - an ace read!

Oh, and no, not the gambling type.

Indeed. The photo is a shot from The Dark Knight where Two Face becomes what he is.

That's quite some coin.

I like the fact they don't give it away in the title of the book either!
