My brain just doesn;t work in metric and we use measurements a lot in the AC and Refrigeration indusry and I have to do rapid mental approximatiojns from the metric to the imperial to figure out the piperuns and stuff for the engineers. The thing that really baffles me is copper pipe is sold in 3m or 6m lengths but with diameters of 5/8" etc. Talk about designed to confuse!
I permanently correct everyone's spoken grammar, so much so it has become a standing joke at work. My biggest bugbear is soandso and me in instances where it should be soandso and I, must spend half my life correcting that one. I am also big on manners and can't stand it when people ignore the basics of please and thank you.
As for the footie I'm with Morgano on this one - Liverpool to do the double over AC Milan, but NOT in the same way we did at Istanbul - I couldn't speak above a croak on the Thursday after that particular match blush
