You probably have an old NI number as well. There's a real vintage feel to some of the old time numbers.

'8' means high IQ. All of the digits mean something to the authorities.

That is no surprise to those of us in the know. It's all right there in digit 6 in pair 3 of the standard rankings. (Of course, it was all modified by the code revisions undertaken by GCHQ in 1986, but we usually ignore those when discussing 'simple NI', we have to think of beginners.)

The formula used to generate the prefix letters and suffix letter is based on a combination of your parents ages, their place of birth, your place of birth, year of birth, racial profile and suitability for military brainwashing.

Oddly enough the Chinese have a system of generating unique ID numbers for its citizens according to many of the above criteria.

I'm also watching TV, chatting to my friend Helen and eating, so it's not that totally boring, but I can't be alone in finding a discussion about NI numbers just a little banal.

And with regards to the sarcmark I think it was patented back in 2009/10, newspapers did stories about how it was going to take off and up an end to confusion in texts. Anyone with eyes could see that it wasnt going to happen
