    Why do they call a liquid gas? And the imperial system is even more stupid, and the Fahrenheit scale is just ridiculous. Also the month/date/year way of writing the date is just wrong.

    AFAIK Water fittings are sold internalionally in imperial, they just translate it into metric. So a half inch pipe here is 13mm in France/Germany etc.

    you can measure pipes by the internal diameter or the external one.

    So it can be kinda metric and kinda imperial at the same time.


    Just make bloody sure you get the right olives.

    I would have thought Ireland would have been green,

    Would people still be using Feet and Inches when highlighting their height?

    Wouldn't be using them with wine that has a cork! Unless that cork taint is a pleasant taste.

    That's the best way to store it. It stops the cork from drying out.

    Was installing loads of that stuff in offices around Dublin 12-15 years ago. Hope the quality has improved in the meantime. Crazy expensive glass; 5-6 times what normal glass costs.
