Paging tovarich Bonwick, my hovercraftovski is full of eels

Despite the Dago lingo in the news, russian hovercraft for snow and
ice, does 0-60mph in 7" and claims top speed of 90mph. See the video
on top left.

 

**** me, don't think my internal organs would like doing 0-60 in 7
inches.

 

Ein?

<understands>

Heh, dahn sarf here ' is used for minutes and " for seconds

 

Same everywhwere. Only iggerant fuckwits wouldn't understand it.

 

Depends on context. If we were looking at an atlas, I'd understand
lat/long as (degrees) ' minutes and " seconds and with time, then yes,
'm/"s but ITYF Krusty was making a joke, you humourless cunts, as well
as utilising our quaint Imperial measurement system in a strike against
the useful but ultimately rather staid decimal system.

 

It is here too for certain things (e.g. coordinates), but never for
0-60 times.

 

I'd be a tad surprised if anybody didn't realise that.

 

Heh, "Scorchio ... "

 

Wow, you have minutes/hours wit 1 extra second/minute

 

Even to me the bloke sounds very Butros Butros Ghali" (heavy southern
accent).

 

I couldn't give a troy oz for your feelings.

Get back on your perch ...

"Mincio", if you fall into that front fan.
