A MESSAGE FROM JOHN CLEESE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

[bettingpython]

Oh yea snooker or Billiards. Heck I'll take badminton too, though in the US its a front yard game that people play with these idiotic plastic shuttles (they call them birdie's) ... Yea forget it, not 1 american sport is worth watching. Another idiotic game is bowling, yea, just as good as throwing rocks at steel poles, and a lot more $$ and lot less fun.
Cricket is heaven I should tell you, both to play and watch. Nothing like it.
Cool.
Srinath.

Hey if you don't like America why dont you f%$k off back to India or where ever the hell your from. Instead of running your mouth about how shaZam! sucks find people with your common interests and go participate. I'm really not anti immigrant but your attitude pisses me off, why did you come here in the first place? To piss and moan about how horrible we are.

Jerk.

[The Buddha]

Yea you clown, I just hate sports that are like screwed up versions of other sports. I also dont watch any of them.
BTW, the worst freaking version of bowling is curling ... idiotic to the extreme ... just not a american sports fan.
Soccer, cricket, whatever ... Hey, I love tennis, and US is pretty good, and they haven't screwed it all up ... I like the american twist on volley ball, I also like hockey (what the rest of the world calls ice hockey). But that's cause I hate actuial field hockey ...
Yea yea whatever ...
Cool.
Srinath.

hey we get to keep our dental plans right...    Im definately not switching over to engly dental hygine satndards..

[yamahonkawazuki]

does this mean wed have to smoke a f.ag??

[bubba zanetti]

Only if you want to. 

[yamahonkawazuki]

see here in this country if i said publicly i was going to go smoke a f.ag, police would think a homosexuals life was in danger

[spc]

See, down here in the south, we are so bigoted and stuck in our ways that if someone said they were going to smoke a nancy boy we'd tell that city slicker he was doing a good thing.   

Ugh, yeah, dental hygiene..................it's a good thing, I promise......

[The Buddha]

Its not smoking a hag (but with an f - stupid PC crap) - its having a tag with an f (right brits ?).
Cool.
Srinath.

[Jay_wolf]

Yea , ppl will ask for a spare nancy boy , or could they pinch a nancy boy...

however my canandain friend , asks to pinch a butt.  soo whats worse?

Nancy boy = F.ag lol

[yamahonkawazuki]

and q ueer = alternative lifestyle man
f****t= nancy boygot etc. word filters FTW. some of these are funny

c@%t= the ( or one of) an off coloured name for female genitalia

[desilva]

All perfectly fine and reasonable, until you got to this bit:

At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect

Now that's just going too far! You had to go and spoil a good thing. 

At least we still measure speed in mph. Just think what fun we can have when they metrify (metricate?) the speed limits and we can all ride 60% faster. 

[spc]

Who says I don't already ride that fast?

[jserio]

half my blueprints at work are metric but all our gauges and calibration equipment is standard. and then of course you have the rare blueprint that is standard but the measuring tools for said part happen to be metric. 

[yamahonkawazuki]

been there man, i feel your pain

[bettingpython]

Going metric was the most intelligent part of the original post, what a farking pain in the ass fractions are.

inch to mm multiply by 25.4, mm to inch divide by 25.4.

Decimal equivalents of fractions are the bigger pain in the ass to work with. All our backguages programmed in decimals, all our farking prints were in fractions.

I could do it in my sleep but hated getting a new guy these ID 10 T's would hire anyone physically capable of doing the job and we had to try to train them to convert fractions to decimals along with progamming and running a press brake without chopping off fingers or granading tooling or tool holders.

[jserio]

it's not that i can't do the math that i'm complaining about. my argument is while i'm spending time doing math to convert things, i could be running my machine and producing more parts. if all my gauges and prints are in the same format it saves time. maybe only 2 or 3 minutes sometimes but hey, that can add up at the end of the day.
