To be fair I went from 117kg down to 104kg (which is a loss of a bit over 2 stone in old money) earlier this year just from having the flu and not eating for a fortnight so it could be as simple as that.Burnaby49 wrote:You don't get that gaunt from cutting out the pints.

Gregg wrote:All my life, despite having actually lived in England for a time, I have been completely unable to figure out various English units of measure of things that they don't use anymore. A penny is 1/100 of a pound but what is a shilling, a farthing and some other old money you no longer use. How much is a stone in pounds not sterling? I'll think of others after I post this I'm sure.
When I was there, well, the internet was still in the AOL phase, google didn't exist and I was frankly too sheepish to ask anyone. The world wants to know. I mean, how am I to help rule the planet if I don't know a farthing about shillings and don't know how many pounds are a stone and do they go on sale?
What gets me is that cars still travel in Miles in the UK, with speed limits in MPH, yet when you fill up your car, you put liters in to it. However, cars are still advertised with MPG numbers. That to me is the real mess. Use Miles to measure speed and distance on the road, but are metric in schools and other measurements, including fuel.hucknallred wrote:No googling now... who on the planet except the UK & the Merkins still uses the mile as a unit of distance.

Yeah I hope it's nothing to worry about. Many folks who diet off weight add an element of exercise into the mix such that when they trim down they have a bit of muscle mass.

I only use miles when I'm driving for all other purposes I use kilometres.hucknallred wrote:No googling now... who on the planet except the UK & the Merkins still uses the mile as a unit of distance.
Real, proper, British Imperial gallons. God save the Queen! Thats 8 pints, 4 quarts, or a liquid weight of 10 pounds.Gregg wrote:As regards figuring your milage in MPG, do you use real gallons (4 quarts) or Imperial Gallons (5 quarts, which is just wrong, a quart derives from a quarter or a fourth, and five of them to a whole never made sense to me)

I was thinking of Ed Brown (or Ed: Brown;), but that's not right. His house was seized by the IRS around 2007, but only shown to prospective buyers in 2015 because of the booby-traps (not Jessica Rabbit's)....grixit wrote:A couple of years ago there was a case of someone arrested for explosives. The cops tried to search his house but gave up because it turned out to be stuffed full of homemade pipe bombs.
Yes, Ed Brown's house auction had the riskiest "caveat emptor" ever - it was sold on the basis that not all the booby traps may have been found.Arthur Rubin wrote:I was thinking of Ed Brown (or Ed: Brown;), but that's not right.

His thread is over in US tax protesters, I believe. I'm on my smartphone, and cannot easily point to the thread.
