Transfer Rumours 21/22

[Halmeister]

Ok now you're just having a laugh

Haha nope. I'm 5'11"

 

[Halmeister]

So too is Jamie fucking Carragher

 

[Modo]

Haha nope. I'm 5'11"

I'm gonna have to look this up

 

[MomoWASright]

I'm gonna have to look this up

Hal has a wiki page for you to check?

 

[Halmeister]

I'm gonna have to look this up

12 inches to a foot

 

[Modo]

12 inches to a foot

Yeah, I just googled it.

 

[bluebell]

Urgh. It's wrong. He's not 6 foot. There's footage of him on Sky saying it himself. Plus I've met him. He's the same height as me. I'm not 6 foot. And then Momo has seen him too.

just googled it and several sources are saying just over 6ft ie 185cm including https://www.premierleague.com/players/915/Jamie-Carragher/overview and Transfermkt. The shortest I found was 182cm which I think is 5ft 11.5 inches, so lets just settle on 6ft for argument sake

btw Modo,
This video might explain some things

 

[Hyena]

It's because Jamie Carragher has really small feet.

No, let's not settle. He's not 6 foot.

That fucking winds me up when people do that. Especially when I don't understand Fahrenheit

Oh that's an easy conversion !

C to F : double, deduct 10% and add 32.
F to C : deduct 32 add 10% and half

Not 'precise' but good to the degree.

 

[binomial]

Hahaha I do that now, only like once or twice near May-June time to see who's out of contract....but I think that's the main site for it no? Where else would 1 find that info out if they didn't contact player agents'?

 

[bluebell]

And why are you quoting me ?

Weren't you claiming he was 5ft 10?

 

[Halmeister]

Oh that's an easy conversion !

C to F : double, deduct 10% and add 32.
F to C : deduct 32 add 10% and half

Not 'precise' but good to the degree.

No thanks. I'd rather not have to do unnecessary mathematics to accommodate weirdos

 

[binomial]

Whats after 5'10? 6ft?

How many inches in a foot Modo......

 

[Modo]

How many inches in a foot Modo......

Dude, I'm done with this imperial bullcrap. Apparently 12.

You'd have loved pre-decimal currency in UK, Modo. Having to work simultaneously in decimal, base 12 and base 20 and then account for oddities like "guineas" (one pound and a shilling) would have really twisted you

C to F - divide by 5
Multiply by 9
Plus 32

F to C - deduct 32
Divide by 9
Multiply by 5

Simples.

I very much doubt it

I want to know how warm it is not feel like I'm making a budget forecast

Saw this on The Chase the other day... there used to be something like 240 pence in a pound? Fucking retarded.

12 pence in a shilling, twenty shillings in a pound

I assume, as a scouser, you still refer to 50p as "ten bob", don't you? (bob was a slang word for shilling)

I was born in the late 80s, so no.

I will say 50 bob head though when referring to Sakho/Gomez's ability in the air, though.

Nope. I was telling someone what 1.80m was (5' 10" and a bit). I haven't said sod all about Carra !

 

[binomial]

Chris Wood? They’re basically signing past and present Burnley players. Gearing up well for the championship next season.

 

[rubans]

20m for a 30yr old with 3 goals this season.
