JackFaerie,
You do realise that the Daily Mail is a tabloid and, as such, has less veracity than a politician? Hell, I would even pay more attention to what Dubya says than a British tabloid!

Gosh! I'm away for a couple of days, and miss out on a massive troll, and boobs!

Shoe sizes! Don't get me started! In Australia we have a mixture of UK, Americain, and "European" (originally French) systems. At least the Euro system is obviously different, but American and UK sizes look the same while actually differing by anything from half (men) to two-and-a-half (for women, roughly) sizes:
The totally messed up state of global shoe sizes is the reason we haven't been contacted by intelligent aliens. They don't want to catch the stupid virus. Unit confusion could lead to, I don't know... a space-probe being lost or something? Not that any competent organisation would ever let that happen...

Tell me about it! When I go to a shoe shop and the sales assistant asks for my size, they are met with an "uuuuuuuuuuhhh... about a nine... maybe?"
laizeohbeets:
There's a whole big mess, because I wear a 7-7.5 US. That should be a 6-6.5 in the UK. Nope. I wear a 5 there, typically.

Could become a "Seemed like a good idea at the time" moment.

Oh, you mean that It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time?
