Ever heard of Avoir Dupoire AKA imperial

They developed metric and left us with the bag of shite we used to use

Feet inches yards rods poles perches chains. Pints quarts gills gallons.
pounds ounces hunredweights tons. ergs and drulls (power)
farthings ha'pennies pennies thre'pence sixpence shilling two bob 1/2 crown crown
ten bob pound guinea.

Yeah real joined up that lot was................ [no]
72... AND STILL ROCKIN..........around the world...... NOT in a chair yet

Now XBX And into HDI.....as well as other ...err.... things.

Prior to 1066 we didn't have a national measurements system.
The Normans brought avoir thingy with them and over the centuries it became imperial.

Sometime between 1700 and 1800 some clever Ffrench cunt developed MetricSystem.( you can tell how good my history is)

Of course we said fuck that it's err French, we'll keep using your previous incomprehensible stuff thanks :P :P :P

What's sex???????????

Sex is when you open your wallett, and a bird empties it for you!

Wasn't measurment invented to ensure that people got the same amount everytime or something?
Like, the yardstick came about because people were getting stuff in lengths and it needed to be the same lengths cos it came from abroad or some shit like that?

I reckon that in the long run, sex for love is FAR more expensive than sex for money...

Aint it ever.
I mean it really really is.
And moreover, paid for sex is guarenteed.

Whats the difference between a hooker and a wife?
Ones contract, the others pay as you go.

Given the circumstances that means my contract is for evah!!!!!

I believe it was the Egyptians who started standardisation, in fact the whole of the middle east
was full of Mathematicians

They must have been constipated too coz they were the first bunch to work it out with a pencil :P

If a joiner made a chair for someone, he measured him and made the chair.

Now with a standard all the chairs are thesame and if you don't fit....well....tough :lol:

Right, I have stripped the donor bx down and am now stumped a tad. I am attempting to put a wider ratio diff on the TD. So, I heed the diff and the gear it meshes with on the o/p shaft. Does this gear pull off? In which case I need a puller right?

Awwwh bless him. Me dad had a 5/8 Whitworth socket and it fits like a glove! Need to strip the TD box down now.
Did you say a bearing was gone on the ZX box mate???/ Cos you were right me old cocker! Would you believe a google search for the bearing number reveals one listed by a bearing company oop norf as stock clearance so I've asked for a quote. As it happens the one from the TD box may yet be ok but it did rumble in the jungle in 5th but could also be me nuts as you suggested Doc!

Were the nuts loose?
They can and do work loose.
Yeah that box had a well noisey bearing / shaft.
It still took some serious stick though!

One of the nut's on the ZX box was loose, I ain't stripped the one off the TZD yet. I'll be doing it on Monday now as I have a guest staying who will demand I drink vast quantities of booze....It's gonna be a [vomit] weekend!
