A foot below...


A yard...



You have to guess this one.

8 miles is too long

8 miles is too long

Well at least you learned something tonight. That is what we had to put up with before the metric system came in. It wasn't easy. Especially as you had to buy wine and whiskey by the flagon and rum came in barrels. Beer cans were double size compared to today...



...except in Darwin, where the stubbies were bigger still...

Along with mcwilliams royal reserve port and stones green ginger which hurt more coming up than it did going down.

Or if you wanted to lash out - cinzano brandivino.

Coolabah red or white
Emu Export (shudder)
Woodstock (shudder)
Carlton Dry
Swan Draught (still would drink it now, just no where near as much, $8-10 jugs were the go)

If I took out a sheila then we would have a bottle of porphyry pearl, or if she was a little more upmarket, Blue Nun. The cheap treat Sheilas got Ben Ean Moselle.

And their country children. I was born after the metric system came in but no one used it and I still calculate what miles to the gallon I am getting on long drives.

Damn that must be a brain twister, all I can remember is a mile is 1.6. You’re so smart

Price of petrol is $2.35 USD / Gallon (US). What's that in aussie oxford scholars per litre?

Geez, Blue Nun brings back some childhood memories. There’s always be a stack of empties on a Saturday morning from the oldie’s Friday night cards.

Would that make your penis a torch?

Why don't you try lighting it and see what happens?

 

[ferball]

Forgiven.

Imagine if any young 'uns lurked in here and saw gallons - they'd think it was the spanish inquisition.


EDIT

^^^^^ What did I tell you?

That's what the aztecs got when they saw Gallons.

WHAT IS A GALLON

Pingers and meth?

8 miles is too long

4 sets of 4 quarter miles running one lap in between should be just enough over the off season.

4 litre Fruity Lexia with lemonade to give it some kick.

Three threads I have read this morning derailed with BBB angst.

Make that four.
