Stone (mass) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tis an imperial measurement.

Yea I never get the heights and weights in foreign sports. Also don't understand why the Brits use kg for weight but also mph for speed?

Because we don't like change and the government outlawed the sale of foods by imperial measurements but the government also retained miles per hour on road signs.

saw the new inbetweeners and of course it was hilarious.

I just have a question, do English kids really take that much piss out of their mates? Banter and childsplay is fun but Jay and Niel seem like right pricks and I would never let someone like that into my house, not even in highschool.

Also, it seems they talk quite freely about masturbation, something else a bit different from here. I deffo would never have gone to a friends house and informed him I would be doing said activity there and I can easily say that is the case for majority of people here, then again I've never lived in a trailer park

Why would anyone use such an obscure unit (stone)

And another thing, why do people say 'take the piss out of your mates'. I know what it means but cmon, sounds so strange!

Stone is the default unit of measurement in the UK for body weight.

Pretty much yeah.

Once again, yeah pretty much.

Yeah, you can''t buy food in pounds

They outlawed the sale of foods in only imperial measurement. Massive difference.

 

[Themer]

Thats what I meant.

We buy food in pounds all the time. Pounds of apples, oranges or flesh.

It's like language I guess, you will always be more comfortable with the system you grew up around.

Didn't you ever read the contents of the old superthread? Evo and Culli trying to make knob-jokes every line of every post...

When I was a child, I remember lying with my eyes closed waiting for Santa to come. Then there was the awkward silence as he got dressed and left.

Woops. Wrong thread is wrong; meh.

In response - We take the piss outta our mates a fair bit, but no where near as much or go as far as Jay and Neil. It's a comedy and thus the situations are exaggerated.

As for masturbation. Depends on the individuals lol. Same with any subject. I feel comfortable around my mates to talk about most subjects (within reason), but I wouldn't go round their houses and knock one out.

@ Themer - Sure it wasn't a priest dressed as santa?
