Suggestions?
Temperature?
If you're a bloke, and your balls have fallen off, it's cold.
But if they're knocking on your knees, it's hot.
It probably works for women and tits (though you'd probably need binoculars
to see the balls on tits!)

Good grief. My respect to Kaitlin's mother.
Can anyone here beat that? I was 7 pounds something, not much of a

By golly, yes, it was a good night. I haven't even been to bed yet, spent

Someone had a really easy formulululula a while back but I'v forgot it.
But adding and subtracting forty came into it, and the ratio is 5:9, if
that helps. You can prolly guess the rest with a few known pairs of
temp ritchers, like 37degC is 98.4 degF, and that. I fimk you add 40 to
yer DegC and then multiply by 5/9 and then take the 40 away again. Or
summat.

Hang on, 1 kg is about 2.1 lbs. So 4 kg is about 8.4 lbs, and 50g is
about another ounce, so that's just over 8.5 lbs, nowhere near 10.
Though still nothing to be sniffed at.

I'll bet. Not sure I agree with another Aries in the world though.

Oh if you want 4K I could probably get it for you for, let's
say £1.50 a gram. I'll throw in the fifty grams. Top quality
stuff.
John
Yep. Dont convert. It's cold, must be about freezing, could
be 0°C could be 32°F. Don't care, it's freezing. It's hot.
Still don't care if it's in the upper seventies F or 25°C
it's just hot. If
the man on TV says that is 25°C or 6,745 zargon degrees what
do I care. It's hot, that's all.
But if you insist: double the figure and add 32 for C to F.
Subtract 32 and halve for F to C. That isn't precise but
it's near enough for
most usage.
So, 1°C=(1x2) +32=34°F. 16°C=(16x2)+32=64°F. It's 61 and a
bit really but we're not far off.
In the other direction you've got 68°F=(68-32)/2=
18°C which is close enough to tell you to take your jumper
off.
John

For the most useful temp range, ie "Do I need a jumper?", this
over-estimates by about
4defF, so a better rule of thumb is double and add 25.
2.2
Which makes it easy, as 2.2 is 2 * 11 * 1/10th
And we all know you mult by 11 by adding the outside digits and putting
the answer in between them. (36*11->3+6 is 9, answer 396: etc)
So you do an easy mult by 11, double that (piece of piss) and whack the
point over a slot.
It's only 8lbs 15oz, nothing particularly specially large, as babies go.

At jbex somewhere in Bradford...
picky picky, if the middle bit is bigger than 9 you have to twiddle a
bit innit.
37*11 3+7=10 the 0 goes in the miggle and the 1 gets added to the 3
407

1.8 is like 2-0.2, yeh?
So you can be EXACT by doubling, knocking off 10%, then adding 32.
eg 18C (my office now) -> 36 -> 32.4 -> 64.4 ie COLD
but i still maintain a good rule of thumb for english summers is double
and add something between 25 and 30 that gives you a nice round number
to finish on. I count things ending in 3 as round numbers tho!
18->36->65ish less a bit, ie COLD
Sorry, Mr SomeRapunzelBlokeSir... won't happen again.
