The Retirement Thread

I asked Mr WD if a square foot was 12 inches by 12 inches making surprise surprise a square. He said yes, but no. It all depends. How on earth can you call something a square if it isn't for God's sake . How are you supposed to know what your going to get if a square foot isn't

A square foot is 144 square inches so it could be a square with 12 inch sides. It could also be any rectangle with side lengths whose product is 144 e.g. 24 inches x 6 inches, or 36 inches x 4 inches.

A foot square is what you are thinking of - a square whose sides are 12 inches long and which has an area of 1 square foot.

She was already confused - I was trying to confuse the confusion back into understanding!

I know that now. It could be 6 inches wide and 2 feet long. But it isn't a square

In this case it's a unit of area not a shape!

Another walk done. Just over 13 miles for the day. I avoided the usual popular walks and wandered out a little back road. Still a fair few cars on it as they seem to have sussed it is a cut through to the distillery and dam walk without going through the town.

Lovely blue sky but not that warm. I haven't seen any lambs yet.

It’s International Irish Whiskey Day today!

At a recent team meeting, I gave the lads each a wee sample of Potcheen.
Nearly blew their heads off - !

I was given a bottle of aviation Gin at Christmas. Very strong and very nice.

Last lot of that I tried was a bit on the soft side.
