where is the stone converter in our tff calculator?

 

[Miss Wiggle]

you can use google as a calculator you know, just type into the search bar "20 stone in kilos" and it'll tell you what it is.

works for all sorts of conversions

anyway, in american, he's somewhere around 127kilos....... don't get me wrong, not gonna pretend it's entirley muscle, but he's a builder so he spends all day doing physical stuff, he's really strong.

was just giving you a hard time (am not conversion-challanged) but had to laugh when you answered in kilos (did you forget? we -rejected- our chance at conversion to the metric system (was that dumb or what?!))

 

[Miss Wiggle]

lol, i never understand your measurment systems....... bloomin americans... always got to be different

what do you measure in then ???

 

[waterdrop]

its pounds dear, "pound away with those stones" (get it?)

 

[Miss Wiggle]

no.... i don't get it!


sorry think i'm having a bit of a dim day today, my work wife (guy i sit next to in the office) would definatley be calling me ditzy today.

 

[waterdrop]

ok ditzy, we use US Pounds and the joke was I was giving you a way to remember pounds vs stones with a little ditty that could have a double meaning... (only very mild humor, couldn't think of anything better at this hour, remember its "feed the kids" hour over here, lol)

I used to work for a US MNC, and was always amazed by the fact that Americans use [what we call] imperial measures...i thought that was what Boston harbour was all about - rejection of all that is British...

lol

lol, oh boy, american history in a nutshell... when I was little I thought we were so gentle and smart. Reading a wee bit more I eventually swung the other way.. you take your worst british slums and out come some desparate ones who cling to the beach in tidewater Virginia, then a bunch of hard-headed religious fanatics make a colony in new england and finally a bunch of scotch-irish manage not not murder each other on the boat over to north carolina. All 3 are attacked constantly by pirates and together the entire bunch begin to pillage the huge continent of north america. A couple hundred years later the pirates are CEO's, the pilgrams want to drill all the beaches for oil and the whole lot have finished chewing through an entire continent of resources and are ready to get really angry as their SUV's run out of gas. (sorry, just some friday morning fun... ) (ie. none of 'em's smart enough to change to metric )
