I've deleted all you pathetic attempts at coat trailing and didnt
even bother to reply to the most feeble attempts. Try harder Keef.

PE> Outside of Australia, Britain and the US, most
PE> of the rest of the world uses a 24-hour clock. No,
PE> the rest of the world is not full of computer nerds.

KR> the poms use it.

RS> Everyone uses it to some extent, pity
RS> thats not what he was talking about tho.

PE> I don't believe the poms predominately use the 24-hour clock.

KR> ask yourself which of us has been there twice
KR> in the last year, and which one hasn't (:

RS> Ask yourself who who might has has such a surfeit of dog
RS> shit between the ears that it wouldnt have helped him much ?

RS> Then there is the tiny matter of whether its at all likely
RS> that the poms have changed that much in just the last year.

KR> what has that to do with anything,

Dont ask me, you were the one who mentioned the last year.

KR> as far as i know, paul has never been to the uk.

Corse there is the tiny matter of how crucial that is on that time
question. There are other viable ways of working that stuff out Keef.

RS> They have always had some problems with poms being
RS> inducted into the military where they do indeed use
RS> 24 hour time rather more than society at large.

KR> as far as i have seen, having worked with the pommy
KR> military, as well as the australian, and yank ones, they
KR> have no more difficulty with 24 hour clocks than anyone else.

Poor old Keefs dropped into moron mode. I was talking about
the hassle they get with new recruits, with their use of 24
hour time. If the recruits really did use 24 hour time before,
there would be no effect like that now would there Keef ?

KR> the poms use the 24 hour clock in most of their timetables,
KR> and if i remember rightly, the tv stations use it also.

RS> Proves sweet fuck all about anything much. Its quite common on say
RS> VCRs here too, and most people, if you ask them the time, dont actually
RS> say half past fourteen very often. Neither do very many poms Keef.

KR> perhaps that explains the popularity of g-code, very
KR> few people seem to be able to program them correctly.

Its got fuck all to do with the use of 24 hour time.

KR> as i pointed out to paul, even people using the 24 hour
KR> clock all the time tend to talk in 12 hour terms.

Here we go, faking away from your original claim extensively now.
He said 'I don't believe the poms predominately use the 24-hour clock'.
Your comment about timetables doesnt do a thing to refute that Keef.

KR> most of the older people, though still talk in the old terms.

RS> I dont even believe that as generally as you are claiming
RS> it. Say you agree too meet someone at 3 in the afternoon,
RS> I bet not many of even the younger people would say
RS> '15 hundred hours' or anything else except 3 oclock.

KR> if they were going to catch a train, they
KR> would probably refer to it as the 15:00 train.

I doubt it. And even you arent silly enough to try to claim that they
would use it in the situation I mentioned, even the younger ones.

KR> it may be some sort of euro-standard that britain is having to follow.

RS> In some respects, but I still dont believe its
RS> as generally used as you are trying to claim.

KR> just try something at first hand for a
KR> change instead of hypothesising from afar.

Try stop playing with yourself, your pathetic claim has
exploded in your face and you are faking away like mad.

RS> We ourselves do at times read out a clock in 24 hour time,
RS> 14:35 etc. Proves SFA about using 24 hour time in general tho.

KR> exceeding rare in this country, a few people use it in special circumstance

Bullshit, and this blows up your pathetic claim about being there.
Great footshot Keef.

KR> i prefer 24 hour clocks, i have my watch set in that mode,
KR> but i talk in 12 hour mode as so few people understand if you dont.

Just goes to show how what 'seems' to you is often so fucked Keef.
I dont believe that a single participant in these echoes would have
any problem with it.
