[News] Johnson to bring back Imperial units to honour the queen

[beorhthelm]

Why are the Government actively pursuing purely divisive policies? We should be better than this.

politics. cant take the partisan political theatre out of government unfortuntely. talk up an idea (policy is giving it far too much weight) thats popular with your base. if the others publicise annoyance, thats a bonus.

How far should an opposition footballer be from the ball when a free kick is taken?

"at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the ball, unless they are on their own goal line between the goalposts...

...Where three or more defending team players form a ‘wall’, all attacking team players must remain at least 1 m (1 yd) from the ‘wall’ until the ball is in play."

And ?

So ?

What?

 

[Swansman]

I have a friend who quite recently had to shove 20g of hashish up his arse because he accidently bought an ounce instead of a gram and he says imperial units are shithouse.

Distraction aka dead cats.

9.15M according to the laws of the game

That reminds of something that has intrigued me: are penalty spots in mainland Europe in a different place to penalty spots in the UK. Our penalties are 12 yards from the goal but, elsewhere, they're 11 metres (11 metres is literally the German word for penalty). So, ours are 432" from the goal, while those sneaky continentals are 429" from the goal. Three inches can make a lot of difference - at least that's what my female friends have said

Didn't the price difference give it away? Besides, who on earth buys a single gram of hash?

 

[um bongo molongo]

Easy to imagine this meeting.
“We need some headlines on the tangible positive benefits of Brexit. With all the great minds around this Cabinet table, someone must be able to come up with something…”

Well by the time he got to hear the price, the seller had already driven quite a distance and he felt in no position to explain the situation at that point.

He does, often twice a day much to the frustration of those making business with him.

Is it not that they travelled 20,000 leagues whilst under the sea, rather than they went down 20,000 leagues?

Edit: and you have given the radius as the diameter

I don't know.

Did they end up in the Scottish Premiership?

Edit - the difference is still staggering whether my diameter is correct or not.

When is someone going to look at this 360 degrees nonsense and the sun being the centre of the universe ?

 

[vegster]

I must confess that i prefer and enjoy a pint as opposed to a litre.

I'd much rather drink a litre of beer at a time, saves queuing.

Edit: obviously this would mean a litre of GOOD beer rather than Carlingberg piss or Harvey's.

Exactly, now we have our sovereignty back, whoever allows us to get back to dancing around naked full of psilocybin mushrooms and gets rid of this foreign Christian rubbish is definitely getting my vote

 

[Hugo Rune]

This smacks of desperation by the PM, but it's true to form. He spent years making up stories about "straight bananas" as a journalist.

Although once those myths are embedded, it's quite easy for people to fall for it (see above).

He’ll be demanding that Burnley are allowed to advertise the fact they’ll be playing in ‘Division 2’ next! [emoji23]

Yet another Boris diversonery tactic !

Or a pottle.



Obviously only if it's a GOOD beer

The avoirdupois system was first commonly used in the 13th century AD and was updated in 1959. Early, even for the minister of the 18th Century.

The Vote Leave cabal are out of ideas

I've got a good idea.

Johnson must fall.

Absolutely spot on. Confuse, Distract, Divide. All cleverly takes your eye off what rat shit this country is going to...
