We have, but because of you guys, we have 381 ml bottles.. that's not too round, is it?
were going do shit our own way. Either your with us or not...
It's 10:50 p.m. No sun outside :D .
It was cloudy today and rained a bit. Some strong winds and about 22 C...

When Italy converted from Lire to Euros, there was rampant price gouging, because shops raised their prices and consumers couldn't tell what the prices in Euros meant.
Converting to metric here would mean Americans would be even more confused than they are now; is that REALLY what the rest of the world wants? ;)
Actually, if you want to get confused.. come here... we still say pounds and foot/inches for our sizes.. even though all our official papers are in metric...
And 40 Oz of Vodka is what is is, not 1.78L!
And we still have 8.5x11 paper, not A4...
So we're still in the middle in some domains.. but I still find it funny when I go to the states, because I lock myself with a KM/H speed, and it seems my pace is never the same as the others

at least we're consistently stubborn. the brits can't decide what they want!

Here they just changed the DM with the € - the numbers stayed (which means every price was doubled since the Euro came)...

You say "of course" now, but when Americans get confused, the world gets...
Is it sunny near me? Of course it is! This is Greece! Today we have 37 degrees and the weather report said that it'll get higher tomorrow! This much heat and Thessaloniki's humidity makes it unbearable!:dead:
IT'S RAINING!!! IT'S POURING!!! YES, we really needed this. I have never been so happy to see rain! GROW, GARDEN, GROW... BAWHAAHAAHAAAAA!!!
Whoo hoo...it's raining in Austin today...
I love the rain!!! Unless I'm walking across London!!!
It's been sunny for most of the day round my way. Don't know exactly what temp it is but it's pleasant enough.
well in good ol lancashire today (chorley) its been quite warm when the sun has popped out ,but then it goes behind the clouds now n again and it goes quite chilly especially with that eastern breeze. so you put on your cardigan, then of course it starts to rain but only for a few minutes and then the sun comes out so your hot quite quickly so you take your cardigan off and its ok for a while then that wind picks up and brrrr you think about putting it back on but then the sun comes out and your stuffy again so you think no ill put the cardy over my chair but then someone opens a window and that cool breeze rushes in and you put the cardigan back on as its quite a chill. but then the sun comes out and warms the place up again and you have to take it off as its quite unbearable. then its time to go outside so you put on your cardy expecting it to be unpredictable outside but no its warm?,so you take it off and stroll to the deli,but it starts raining so you use your cardy as an umbrella (over your head) running to the shop. once in the shop you order your food and fuck off quick as you dont want to be caught in another downpour. leaving the shop its warmed up again so you take the cardy off,the sun goes in again and it rapidly gets cool but by this time you couldnt give an arse as your already damp/warm/cold and confused. arriving back at the office the windows have been closed cos its been raining so its warmed up again and as you enter someone opens them up cos its getting stuffy,but then the sun fucks off and its cool again,and one of the minions asks to lend yer cardy as she is cold. finally you head home and throw the cardy over a chair upon arrival. "whos perfume is THAT" asks the missus. "look just fuck off" is my reply its been a summers day in lancashire is my reply.

Sounds just like Portland. But hey, that'll save you some money on travel, eh?
105F with the heat index. plus, it's muggy. whenever i talk to people on the phone they always tell me to go for a walk; i'd rather live to see my 31st birthday, to be honest.
it was 114F in las vegas yesterday, but at least it's dry heat there. of course, i wasn't praising the desert heat when i was in the 130F+ heat on the giza plateau in 2001.
anyone fancy meeting up in reykjavik for a few days?
