When will you Americans learn to do dates properly. You know, like the rest of the world?
I use American spelling for almost everything, and am happy to use American grammar, and generally, I'm a big fan of the country, but there's a few things that really grips my ...., as we say here:
1. Dates. You don't say 45:2 when it's a quarter to three, so why the .... do you say 2/11? It makes no sense.
2. Imperial units. .... off. How many furlongs per hour were you going?

Exactly how did I instigate this ... clown in post #51? There is no reason to drag me or anyone else into it.

99% with you, Kropo...except that I drank half a dozen pints earlier.
Week off. Sun shining. My tolerance for Impy Units is high.

What Migs is really trying to get at, is that your very presence here is an instigation or provocation. That's how Migs rolls.

By identifying yourself as one of those who take pride in being the hate spewing goon squad. Let's face it - you dragged yourself into the conversation. You guys always pull the same ..... You start up some crap pretending that you expect no response and then make yourselves out the victim, claiming the person you insulted "started it" . :....:
BTW - nice job avoiding conflict with me.

I don't know how you write out dates over there in long form, but if you are, using 2/11/16 is just a shortened version of the long form...
February 11, 2016 = 2/11/16
Unless you want to be more proper and say, the 11th day of February, Two Thousand and Sixteen, then you'd get 11/2/16 in shortened form.
2/11/16 makes perfect sense.
Or you could do 2/11/2016.
Issuing proclamations is better suited for a more proper written form of month, day, and year.
Or you could go with Y-M-D... 2016-2-11 which is also acceptable. Sometimes I use that depending on which country the person I am conversing with hails from.

Migs and Dr.No, do you have any specific words for Keshav who clearly instigated a response by me, Mdub, and JKD? Please point out why Keshav is given a pass by you two here. Why if you were willing to chime in have you overlooked Keshav's not so subtle reference to his "Gang of Four" when neither of us have had any recent interaction except to remind him not to interact with us?
Both of you (and I'd include Mick too) have consistently ignored Keshav's instigation, while pretending to be impartial while chiming in, this is as clear an example of this as any. JK didn't need to explan it to you. Both of you were compelled to make a point, and as usual not only have you missed it, but then made it on the wrong side because neither of you have the integrity of calling out Keshav when he instigates forum flame wars while expressing as if you care enough to take a stance. It says a lot about you, I suspect you're like this in real life rather than just a wind up; hence why I've never respected either.

By identifying myself in a group that you already put me into? You are not fooling anyone with this ......... And for the record, I've never tried to avoid conflict with you. I've avoided talking about you and I asked you to do the same or you are going to turn this site back into a pissing contest. And my bladder is full ......

Dr. No, MickD, and Migs are all cut from the same cloth.
Also the three are real big on trying to engage in "gotcha" posting, which is no coincidence.

I agree, but when you are called out you don't back down either. You've gotta see where I'm coming from.

Which post did he drag himself into. Was it post 51 1/2 ? As far everyone but you and MigsCancer can see, Dub, Jumkie and I were not part of this prior to post # 52

Therefore, if they happen to sign Lorenzo very quickly because they think they have to, maybe Rossi will be wounded in his pride.”
Is he really that weak mentally OR, is Herve privy to to info that Rossi is trying another power play to oust Lorenzo. I say the latter. Rossi has done the math again and came to this conclusion. He believes the Yamaha is going to be superior to the Honda again this year, his only problem is he can't beat his teammate. If he can have his faster teammate shipped to an inferior machine, it enhances his title hopes ten fold. Surely Yamaha nor Lorenzo would fall for that. If I were Lorenzo, I would simply tell Yamaha, I'm ready to sign, but whatever you decide to do with Rossi, I demand 10 million and or 25% more than My teammate.

My money is on no changes to the top 4 riders. Maybe even the top 6 plus. Boring silly season for 2016. But, will setup a crazy (cray, cray) 2018 silly season..

Kesh has tried to provoke me 2-3 times recently with snide remarks about political affiliation that had nothing to do with the topic that was being discussed. You know what I did, nothing. I ignored it for what it was . Like I said the last time, grow some skin and ignore it. Quit running around like the school yard tattle tale trying to get someone sent to the principles office because your feelings got hurt. You gotta know that in the scheme of things, this .... ain't worth it. Feed a stray dog, he will never leave your porch, ignore him and he goes away to find his needs elsewhere.
