India thrashed 4-0 :Flip:

Not only the fact we beat them 4-0, look at the actual match results.

Kinda warms the heart after loosing the Ashes a year ago.

Just found this and it is pretty funny :D

I repeat, no offense intended to anyone

Cheers :thumbup:

This is so true! Even in elementary school when learning the metric system it made more sense! But don't dare say that to a red, white and blue blooded 'merican who was taught "this is right that is wrong"! I get a lil pi$$ed when working on anything mechanical and someone helping says "ah @#$% its metric, stupid metric wrenches".....stupid?? they're in 1mm increments, how "stupid" is that. Apparently there is a new-ish Americunt (take that censorship) measuring system for auto plumbing fittings that is trying to be similar to metric where 1/16" is referred to as -1 (dash 1, they actually say dash!) and they increase in 1/16" increments -2 = 1/8", -3 = 3/16"....-12 = 3/4"....etc.

"gimmie a 3 wrench"....."which 3? 3/16", 3/8", 3/4", -3, 3mm? :rolleyes:


You'll get no hate mail from me on this one!!

Guess I kinda went on a rant there sorry....I feel better now :D

Please do not let up making fun of this insane system of measurement that the one country that should have had the least trouble abandoning it insists on using! I have too many wrenches and too many sockets, and even though I never buy anything that needs the dumb ones, I still need and use them. Thanks.
