The number 31… as FSTL celebrates our 31st anniversary!

Yes, it’s FSTL’s 31st anniversary… and it seems like yesterday that we were shouting out proudly about our 30th annniversary, we had a little fun with the number 30 and were looking forward to all the excitement that 2020 would bring. Little did we know how much unwanted excitement the year would hold….!

So we thought we’d take the opportunity to revisit the fun with numbers concept and talk about all things 31 as we celebrate our 31st anniversary!

Life is but a dream…

If you dream of the number 31 there is a particular meaning to this dream, and it’s a positive one. The Angel number 31 will apparently bestow you with hope and confidence, and you will be capable of completing your jobs with ease and poise. 

Prime numbers…

The number 31is the first of a whole host of numbers that are prime numbers. The others are 331, 3331, 33331, 333331, 3333331, and 33333331.

From Russia with love…

When it comes to the Russian alphabet, 31 is the magic number – it’s the number of letters in the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet.

It’s all French to me…

The phrase trente et un (31) isn’t just a way to refer to…. 31! It also is used to describe someone who is well dressed.

The periodic table…

31 in the periodic table represents gallium, a chemical component that is a soft, silvery metal. 

In the world of ice hockey…

Goalkeepers in ice hockey most often wear the number 31.

Making a Dutch call…

The international dialling code 31 will get you through to the Netherlands!

Who doesn’t love ice cream?!

And Baskin Robbins, the well known ice cream brand has a whopping 31 flavours! Founders Burt and Irv strongly believed people should have choice, so they offered 31 flavours – one for every day of the month. 

Lucky for some…

And 31 makes the cut when it comes to lucky numbers in the world of numerology.  The numbers which have a relatively good impact on one’s life are said to be lucky numbers.

31 seconds to go…

When it comes to seconds, it will take roughly 31 years to clock up a billion seconds. 

It’s all Roman to me…

The way to write the number 31 in Roman numerals is XXXI.

How much?!

According to a survey by credit check company ClearScore as featured in an article in Bustle, age 31 is the most expensive year of a millennial’s life. Why? It’s all down to the sorts of Major Life Events that tend to occur around that age these days…

So there you have it! One thing’s for sure, we’re hoping that our 31st anniversary year is less tumultuous than our 30th proved to be!
