I've seen a horsefly but I ain't never seen an elephant fly.

OK, here goes...

Short 'a' as in 'act' then nom - alli, as in 'Sally'.

A - Nom - a - Liz

A - Nom - a - louse (preferably 'luss').

This'll fix it!

Recently I’ve purchased a big brake kit for my mini (bmw not a real one) I wanted one that would fit under my 16in (irony) winter wheels but any way most kits are sold in the USA which is fair enough but why oh why do they use inches for sizing anything smaller that a meter??????
It’s not like it’s something big I’m trying to size up. This wilwood caliper is 3 &1/4 inches wide wtf?!? It makes no actual sense, it’s seems like it’s purely guess work when you get the tape measure out do they build buildings with this vage measuring system???
Oh I had to use a imperial to metric conversion tool to see what they were on about

People wanting a Buy it now price for auction items I’m selling on eBay.
Most of them seem as dodgy as fk and can’t even put a simple question together in a coherent manner. If I wanted to sell the thing buy it now I would have offered that way.
