understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I used to be a member of an amateur dramatic group in Galway, Ireland and became very friendly with one woman in particular. I left this wonderful city to work in London. About 18 months after leaving I was standing with my boyfriend on the Notting Hill Circle Line platform to Baker Street. We had a game that one was to pick a spot on the platform that would stop in front of a door. It was my turn and so I picked a spot. The train came in and I won that one as we were standing in front of a single door when it stopped.

<p>The first person to get out of the train was the woman from the amateur dramatic group I was very friendly with whilst living in Galway. I had no idea she was living in London (no mobile phones then and I had moved since giving her my address). We met up a few times after that.
