Spare the rod and spoil the chain.
(But if you're beaten with both, you're sure to be an acre.)

Oops, I got my Imperial measures mixed up. I didn't think that joke could last furlong.

Oh that. That's British. Hell, even when they still used gallons they wern't real gallons.

I know all about your pints! When I was in London on business in the 80's my hosts took me to a pub every day for lunch and they all slammed back two pints of bitters to my half a pint. I never said anything to them but it was clear to me why the nations economy was going down the tubes, nothing useful got done after lunch. :)

LOL a pint of bitters (a spirit)?! Ah - I guess you mean bitter/beer. ;-p

Heh - American-english / British-english differences. Don't get me started! ;-p

Ah OK. Another US/the-rest-of-the-world terminology simplification/difference. I am always noticing them! ;-p

I'll raise you a semihemidemisemiquaver :)

You've got to admit, it's more INTERESTING than a 64th note (or rather, in the case of mine, a 128th note)
