Sorry for the delay in the new poll! It was caused by the combined forces of my crap programming and Matt Byrne.

In trying to sort it out I seem to have lost all the votes for the tetris poll. Ooops. I will see if I can reinstate them now.

Why me ?

"and SI unit" It seems so! :)

by mjb - Tue 27th Apr 2004, 6:15pm
They're SA units, aren't they ??

by Dumb blonde - Tue 27th Apr 2004, 8:50pm
Yes. Blame comprehensive school typing education for that

SA? No, they were Nazi storm troopers Matt. Esther - I forgive you. You are from Nottingham, home of gun crime, after all... :)

SA = Sturm Abteilung

c.59 attoparsecs tall Isn't it the Glass?

by only 58.7 attoparsecs tall - Wed 28th Apr 2004, 1:56pm
Yes, 65 attoparsecs is a few millimetres over 2m tall, or a shade under 6'7"

only 58.7 attoparsecs tall said: Yes, 65 attoparsecs is a few millimetres over 2m tall, or a shade under 6'7" Google Calculator agrees. Funnily enough, it doesn't appear to include the JMcIG as a unit of height.

I reckon 1 Smoot is a little under 59 attoparsecs

New unit: 1 Falcon Junior Quad = 1 broken arm

by mjb - Fri 30th Apr 2004, 8:43am
Ow said: New unit: 1 Falcon Junior Quad = 1 broken arm Sounds painful. Also 1(Pikey kid) + 1(Handful of rocks) = 1(Bruised and bleeding rower who really wishes he could have got out and chased after them whilst brandishing his blade)

by dw229 - Fri 30th Apr 2004, 9:45am
But Matt, even you admit you can't run... :)

I'm very dangerous over short distances ... (Or should that be "dangerous over very short distances" ?)

by managed to avoid being hit by stones - Fri 30th Apr 2004, 10:55am
actually, we probably could have gotten out and given chase - all you have to do is cross the river at the lock - and there's a footpath that leads right to the corner

I'm also wondering who didn't vote for our Goldie man.
