Age 18, about 5'11" or so, 165 pounds (which I hope to bring down a little bit if I ever start exercising). Metric: don't know, don't care
(I've seen several people using "stones" as a unit of weight. Is this relatively unique to a certain area? I know it's definitely not used in the US.)

Or just use google...
E.g.
"10 stone in kilograms"

Interesting unit, but it seems incredibly imprecise if you start getting into fractions.

LMAO.
Metric makes so much more sense.
I demand that you all protest to your governments to convert to metric!

Balls to that. I like stones.
It sounds smaller, for one thing.

More importantly, I like Pints. I refuse to go in and ask for 500ml of Stella, or whatever the f### it would be.

Ah, my good man. I'd like a demi-bushel of peanuts and a duo-quart of your best, if you please.
