I say lets go with the majority on this one. Most of the world is metric. I would save myself alot of money when buying tools if everything was metric. I've owned Japanese cars and American cars (yes, Japanese cars are more reliable), and have to keep both metric and standard wrenches/ sockets. What a pain in the ass. Imagine my surprise when I came across a part on my American made car that wouldn't take a standard wrench... it was metric... doph!

Yay, a sensible person. Ignore Rendle, we actually have a bizarre mishmash of Imperial and Metric over here. He'd probably prefer it if we didn't have money in decimal still.

I say let's get hold of some really fucking big nuclear warheads, hide them in some major cities, inextricably link their non-detonation to my vital signs, and then use them as leverage to force the world to switch to the Furlong/Firkin/Fortnight system.

Deny that the word "thruppence" is fun to say. Ha! You can't, can you?

On and unrelated note; it's amazing how the sanity line is crossed so unnoticably.

You are right. And yet, one can have three pence in decimal still. Hooray!

It's not the same, dammit. There's no coin.

who cares! there's no anything with me anymore.

Isn't that the title of Morrissey's next release?

I like him so I hope so. I HEART him even, just because of the people here who get upset about that.

Fag.

I had one of those slip-knot noose things hidden under that post, attached to a bendy tree.

It's about time this thread died.

Never.

Now come on. You had the last word the last time.

Don't you mean "the" best. If you are going to try and get the last word in, the least you can do is use correct grammar.
