Your right Justin. I am selling my services far too cheaply. I am going to
charge $25.00 per insult per occasion. But since you are Canadian I will
have to charge you $50.00 per insult per occasion as we all know the
Canadian dollar is not worth what the American dollar is worth. That is
because of all that disgusting liberalism that prevails there which keeps
most Canadians poorer than they would otherwise have to be.

I have never known anyone in my life who was not extremely self-centered.
Justin is certainly no exception.

Jeez! You sure can't ask rhetorical questions on this newsgroup as some
idiot is sure to answer them.

PS. Justin, you now owe me $50.00!

All of my life there has been discussion about changing our units of measure
in the US (and Britain too) from inches and miles to the decimal system
(millimeters and meters). It has never happened, not here and not in Britain
either. I attribute that to the good native sense of Americans and of the
Brits. If truth be told, we are both conservative type peoples despite all
the liberal nuts and screwballs we have to put up with. We are conservative
because we know we are well off compared to everyone else in the world and
do not see any reason to play around with success. If it ain't broke, don't
fix it.

Most items now made in the US use "metric" hardware instead of
"standard" hardware. About the only "standard" items to be found on
bicycles made in the last two decades (including the US) are those
unique to bicycles such as pedals, bottom brackets, headsets, cones,
etc. Unless one works on older US made items, "standard" wrenches and
sockets are not needed, since "metric" fittings are standard.

And now our spokes-horse for Whitworth fittings, Mr. Ed.

Alternative measurements are being used for many products largely for
international labeling purposes. And yes, we all know about metric
measurement for bicycles since most of them come from abroad.. But Americans
and Brits still think like they have always thought. Is not a football field
still a hundred yards? Let me know when it changes to a decimal system.

> And now our spokes-horse for Whitworth fittings, Mr. Ed.

No one ever knows what the hell you are talking about. Just because you are
an engineer does not mean you have to be unintelligible and constantly
acting like a horse's rear end. But I have known other engineers too and
they tend to be like you in that they do not know how to talk like a normal
human being and they all have a weird sense of humor. It must come with the
territory. The solution is just to grow up and become an adult. However, I
think you are stuck in juvenility - doomed forever to be nothing but a
braying jackass and a ****ing moron to boot. You are one really weird dude
Mr. Tom!

Actually the quote is "patriotism" - another one of your recurring
themes, where you assert without evidence that the right alone are
patriotic. I think we can draw our own conclusions as to the identity
of the scoundrel in this case.

Er, right. So by simply lying you win? I am very glad I don't live

Yes, you are right, every thrtead in which you are involved is
characterised by 50% total idiocy (your posts), and occasionally some
idiocy in posts by others goaded by your idiocy. Me? I hate nobody.
You do quite enough hating for two. I bet you have a "who would Jesus
hate?" bracelet, like GWB has one with "who would Jesus execute".

No, I think its fair to say that you remain dogged in the face of
facts. I have never seen you change your mind, however obvious it is
that you are wrong.

You mis-spelled "****".

Hurrah! Please extend this service: post nothing whatsoever without a
$25 fee in advance by money order or certified check. Only thus can
we appreciate the true value of what you write.

Please.

Pretty please.

If you really want to **** him off, you could remind him that those
there are Imperial measurements, long since lost in progressive Europe
to the egalitarian - republican, even - metric system ;-)

I always improve on all the old saying because I know how to do it. But
don't you try it as you are way too much an idiot to mess around with old
sayings.

The Muslims now have a very bad reputation in the world if you would care to
get your rear end up off the floor and away from your bicycles. They have
been murdering innocents all over the world in case you haven't noticed.
They tell the young suicide bombers that they will go to paradise where they
will be able to **** young girl virgins and young boy virgins there for all
eternity. What do you think of that scenario, you ****ing towel head?

I stay off of the threads where there is recumbent information being passed,
no matter how trivial. I try never to "ruin" more than a couple of threads
at a time.

No, I am an atheist have been one since I approached the age of reason
(about 15 years old). What is your excuse? I come by my hatreds honestly,
which is more than you can say for most of the rest of mankind.

You do not have the proper contempt for facts. That is where most of the
rest of the world goes badly astray. Facts have to be put in perspective and
only people with very large brains (like me) can do that. People with very
small brains (like you) only trip over facts and get all confused and
befuddled. You will always be at sea your entire life because you cannot get
perspective on anything, especially "facts". You worship facts like you
worship your Allah. That is because you are an ignorant man.

Leave the wit to those who are capable of it. You clearly are not.

I do not think we are quite ready yet to take our act on the road, but we
are getting there. We could call ourselves the Ed & Guy Show.

I like Great Britain by and large and I like the Brits. It is only you that
I do not like.

I will note with interest whether or not Britain will give up its monetary
system based on the pound when it enters the European Union.

For Guy, like Justin, the charge will be $50.00 per insult per occasion.
That is because the English currency is about on a level with the Canadian
currency, but more importantly because I will have to do a bit of research
to properly insult him. I have already called him most names in the book to
no effect. Perhaps I will have to get my names for him out of the Koran so
he can appreciate his true worth in terms that even he can understand. But I
swear if I go to the Koran, then I will have to charge him $100.00 per
insult as I do not like to muck about in a total nonsense book like the
Koran. After all, I do have some standards of my own that I like to observe
despite all the provocation.

I wish! I will buy, at the rate of $1 CDN = 1 Pound Sterling, all the
pounds you care to sell me. Same for US$; $1 US = 1 PS.

Might as well say same deal on Euros, while I am at it. $1 (your
choice) = 1 Euro.

I do not look up anything, so I took a flyer that the English were just as
screwed up as the Canadians. All I know about monetary matters is that the
dollar goes up and then it goes down and then it goes up again - and it
seems there is never any rhyme nor reason to it.
