For some reason, I've completely forgotten how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6, and 500 in Roman Numerals....

What's wrong with it, have you heard this one BIV?

Was it a Carry On film where the legionnaires had to stand in ranks and obey the command "From the right, number"?

I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X and so on.

The centurion was marching them to "Sinister, Dexter, sinister, Dexter,..."

When my Father was 49, I sent him a card that said "Does thinking of your age make you feel IL?"

Unfortunately he didn't make it to 99, where I could have improved it slightly (with a bit of artistic licence)

Yes, it gets you LXXXVI percent of the way from birth to your telegram from the Queen.

The joke being centurion number four who was "Ivy"
