Thermometers: What's the Problem with Accuracy? Featured

Face it the only thing that sucks there is the weather I guess ;-) Well maybe Lucas ignition systems. They used to say, why do MGs have such bad windshield wipers? They don't run in the rain anyway.

My neighbour has a Rover 75 (top of the range Rover, no not "Range Rover"). It's the worst designed thing I've ever come across. The rear window is too small to see out of, the switches are in non-standard positions, the automatic gearbox changes gear like a learner driver, and the central locking and headlights are unfathomable. I had to manually let a passenger into it as somehow the driver's door was unlocked but not the rest, and when I turned it off, the headlights stayed on, I wasn't sure if I'd forgotten to turn them off, or if they'd go off themselves later.

If I didn't bootleg music, I simply wouldn't listen to music. I've made the decision that their music is not worth paying for. Whether I get a free copy or not does not affect their income, so it isn't theft.

I was going to prove you wrong and say you were 0.1 out or something, but you're not. How the f*ck did those end up EXACTLY the same?

How can anyone even detect a 3 degree change?

I changed to C for outdoors first. 0C meant freezing point, 70F meant room temperature.

That's because yer stoopid.

on them and digital thermometers can switch from one to the other. It's = whatever you grew up with that determines your point of view. Of course,= someone working in the field of chemistry or physics is probably going = to prefer the Centigrade scale. ^_^

The UK still sells pints of milk, except Aldi which uses litres, probabl= y so it can give you slightly less milk for the same price.

F*ck knows, we've been trying to get rid of the sponging old bitch for decades.

Why do you have difficulty joining in a conversation? Explain to the group why you think a multi million dollar record company and a multi million dollar artist are more important than a 12 year old schoolgirl.

There was a Hoover UK but I think that's gone too. idk if it was just a branch office or if they were independent. I don't think I've ever seen a Dyson. The ones on amazon are weird enough looking that I would remember one.

The Hoover works unless I vacuum up a boot lace and smoke the belt. I've got a couple spares hung on the handle. They're cheap.

I had a Sprite that ran in the rain. Of course, when it started raining you had to get the two piece frame out of the trunk, slide it into the sockets, spread the canvas top over it, snap the top down, then get the side curtains out of the trunk and attach them to the doors with thumbscrews. It was sort of like a bike, but a lot slower.

You would have to ask Barry's mommy. Maybe she was just reverting to type:

You can spin it any way you like but we're raising a bunch of little democrats who think they are entitled to everything free of charge.  They are all allergic to work.

When I was a 12-year-old kid I mowed lawns and did odd-jobs so I had money to buy stuff.  Never stole something if I couldn't afford it.

I don't wear a lot of clothes but my range is somewhere between 18 and

1. For a short time I can get along below -5c

What was your point if it was not millionaire artists enforcing archaic copyright laws? If I patent the cure for cancer I get 17 years of protection but Rick Dees has copyright protection for Disco Duck until 2033
