Turned out he had no idea how many pints were in a gallon. Yeah, I absolutely don't. I just took a guess and was out by half. It's something I've never needed to know. I could tell you roughly how many litres are in a gallon, however, but that's only because I was alive when petrol stations switched to litres, and it occasionally amuses me to work out what it costs to get something that I remember costing 50p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nearly £8.50/gallon...Cheers but I didn't really want to know as I knew it would be hideously expensive! I've got a vague memory of it being slightly under £3 a gallon when it changed to litres but that could be absolute bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be long, I suppose... Edited June 5, 2022 by Jacksgranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The hologram on Star Trek Voyager was in colour, could perform medical surgery, tell jokes, sing and could even take command of the ship. By comparison, I think this one seems rather lame and unambitious. Must do better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The popularity of the monarch in modern Englandshire seems to be dependant on her only being seen sparingly and generally keeping herself to herself. And as we approach what would be the end of her reign we suddenly have access to hologramic avatar technology which means that rather than appointing her jug-eared first born to play the role we could instead just keep a simulacrum of Elizabeth to open parliament, troop the colour and open major sporting tournaments and millenium domes. Some traditionalists might object but I hope these traitors have the principles to fall silent at the "long to reign over us" part of the national anthem given that they seem quite happy to discard her for no better reason than her being physically dead. The National Anthem itself will of course be renamed "God Save the queen (by pressing Ctrl + S)" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
