And ignorance is bliss
So what’s wrong with kg for weighing things, st & lb for people, miles for driving distance, metres for building things, C for temperature and feet for ascent of hills and stuff? That’s what a 70’s born UK kid thinks like. So 16:15 is said out loud, quarter past four, maybe rarely 1615, but never 16 o’clock and? No. O’clock is only on the hour. If it’s got bits on the end you say everything except the ‘o’clock’ But I love what you’ve done with ‘half-four’ to mean 3.30. I really enjoy doing that with my German colleagues.
I heard that in Moss’ voice of course
TIL another difference in the language, I’ve never heard of wing window, and these were always called ‘quarter-lights’ on the old cars in the UK.


I prefer that God put the dinosaur bones there because he loves everyone, including scientists and wants them to be happy too.
I met my wife at a roller disco, just skating around messing about, shared joy at an activity. We were 15 and dated for a few years subsequently. Didn’t work out then, but years later, went back due to younger sibs and relived a bit of youth, there we were again. Rest is history.
I wonder how this is implemented in LMDE?



Ahahaha.
