You can drink at 18 in the UK? Didn't know that (don't drink much either, so I can't imagine why I'd know that). It just sounds odd to me (mostly because I had to wait until 21 to buy yself a drink).jayshields wrote:pretty good that it's 04/05/06 too, and it's my mates 18th birthday today, off out to get sloshed tomorrow
&*%I$#^*)Q, can someone please come over here and take my parentheses keys away from me (before I go over the friggin' edge with them today)?
I know the feeling everah. 
It gets tough when you get into nested parenthesis
I was doing (but not really (okay maybe just a little (really little))) homework today.
Even worse when you have an emoticon at the end of a parenthesis set! (hi
)

Code: Select all
I guess proper tabbing would help alleviate some of that (
though I am sure that I could get lost in the nested comments (
or are they statements?
)

How do you think Canadians feel?Bill H wrote:Except in the US it's 05/04/06.
I've always thought the European method made so much more sense, put things in ascending order. Metric. All that.
Were officially metric, but use feet to describe height, not CM...we also use LBS for weight not KG
We measure distances and speed in KM/h...
The Queen is still very much part of our heritage or she's atleast symbolic, being on our money an all...
We have loonies AND twoonies...and as a second currency we also have Canadian Tire money
MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY works interchangably
Words spelled like Colour or Color work in Canada
Also, when pronouncing the alphabet, the last character can be said as: Zee or Zed it doesn't matter...
I guess Canadians have adpated to both UK and USA idioms, etc...
Although the ubitquious *eh* is very much Canadian...as is Hockey...
Although I would argue that the beaver or Moose are not mascots of anything Canadian as I've never seen either in life but only in death after being handled by a taxadermist of course
Cheers

Everytime we see a date in one of those formats, it's accompanied with a question - "Is that month/day/year or day/month/year?". Very annoying - we should just stick with the Europeans on that one.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:How do you use dates interchangeably? That must be the most confusing thing ever - and you guys have 6 time zones!
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
Overhere you can legally drink beer at 16, but it's quite common that a 14yo can go to a pub and order himself a (lot of) beer(s).
Liquor (and bacardi breezah trash) is only allowed when you're 18.
(Belgium, has plenty of delicious beers... But i do like a Guiness (one that is produced in dublin) too)
