The thread about ANYTHING

[AZ Jim]

Got something to say, any subject? Feel free to post it here. No such a thing as highjacking here, it's all good!!

 

[AZ Jim]

Remember Seinfeld's "The show about nothing"? This is kinda like that!

 

[Cookie]

Can't think of nuthin' ...

I'm sick of the cold weather here in South Australia ...........:winter1:

 

[Shirley]

Heard any good jokes lately?

 

[Shalimar]

I am still curious about squash pickles??

 

[Cookie]

It must be pickled squash?

I love Indian Lemon Pickle, hot and spicy.

 

[Shirley]

Squash pickles are the best thing you ever sunk your teeth into.

 

[Shalimar]

Pleez, Shirley, don't tease, I need more info! Lol.

 

[Shalimar]

Cookie, I love it too, and mango chutney.

 

[Warrigal]

Mango chutney on top of a beef vindaloo.
Heaven and hell in one mouthful.

 

[Shalimar]

DW, ooh, need some right now, and no one will get hurt! Lol.

My sis in law in Melbourne complains about the cold when it's 17c. In Scotland we celebrate that it's that warm!

Studies show that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Annie, HaHaHaHaHa!

 

[Ameriscot]

I love that one. I repost it on FB about twice a year!

Excellent point! And true, I'm sure.

How come we have Fahrenheit here in the US and in Europe they have Centigrade? Which one does Canada use? Are Centigrade and Celsius the same?

Only the US uses Fahrenheit. Centigrade and Celsius are the same. Centigrade is the old name for Celsius.

Is America the only country not using the metric system of measurement? Here, we use both for some things, such as pounds and ounces, height and weight, but metric rules for the majority of stuff.

 

[Shalimar]

I wonder how the OP and others might feel about a regular "thread about ANYTHING?" It might be a viable alternative to worrying about hijacking serious threads. Of course, common sense and courtesy would have to prevail.

America uses it in science and anything medical, but otherwise no. The UK is a bit weird as we still use miles, and clothing like trouser waists and bras come in inches. Height is in feet and inches. But metres is used for carpets, etc. But it's illegal to sell fruit and veg etc using pounds instead of kg. Body weight is normally in stones (14 lb per stone) but I never did get used to that. I use pounds.

Good idea. The agenda thread often goes into more detail than your agenda, but nobody seems to mind.

 

[Shalimar]

Thanks Annie. I guess we wait and see how people feel.
