For the FTAO of JL

I’m pretty sure my lawnmower is 4.5kw so that’s 89 Honda push mowers on overboost.
Actually comparing vehicle outputs to lawnmowers just makes them sound really unimpressive. A Veyron is only 164 pushmowers.

351kw (up to 400kw on overboost) and 351 cubic inchworms.

is that a lot?

Heaps.

i’d bloody hope so with 7.4 litres!

[Rich B]

Quoting metric power and imperial size - it’s the future (or past?)

You’re suggesting the Veyron doesn’t cut it?

This whole time I thought that was a Holden of some sorts then I noticed the front looks like a Ford Mondeo. It’s a pretty ugly thing, inside and out, that steering wheel is awful!

Aussies innit. Limited taste

I followed a van and trailer from Walkers of South Otterington (Integrale Specialist) last night with a Maroon Integrale onboard it's number plate was..

In a shit font on a dodgy wrapped R8 on the M25.

I don’t know who Gus Swho is. Is he a footballer?

[Gavin]

Not sure what this guy was trying to say!

[JLv3.0]

Oh it's obvious. He is clearly a nuclear physicist proudly demonstrating his preferred type of reaction. Don't we all do this?

[Gavin]

Ah, that makes sense, I wondered if he was an e-mail scammer!

[JLv3.0]

How could it possibly be anything other than what I said above

[GG.]

Speaking about email fishing - there is a stupid poster in the canteen here at work about it with a Jaws like great white, a fishing line and the caption "if you don't know the sender don't take the bait". Has anyone else got this poster in their workplace? It makes no sense at all! The person taking the bait is the prey, not the other way round!

They obviously should have used an angler-fish - not only are they way scarier looking but the metaphor/zoomorphism would then bloody work!



I'm pretty sure this falls into JL's "over-thinking" category.

[JLv3.0]

It does, and also nicely into the "plus totally wrong for good measure" category.

In this instance, the emailer is the angler, the email is the bait and you are the prey. How on earth have you managed to transpose this?

[GG.]

Yes and they have put a big angry shark as the prey taking the bait! Come on JL - keep up!
