Finnish has gotta be the strangest european language.

It doesn't seem to resemble any other (not even russian). Where the heck are its origins?

**kedaman** · Apr 30th, 2001, 07:03 AM

i think we have the same roots as hungarians

I think that makes you the only non-indoeuropean language group in Europe. I had a collegue (a Mac user actually) who learned Finnish specifically to try to develop an alternative mind set and way of thinking

**kedaman** · Apr 30th, 2001, 03:57 PM

yeah we finns live in an alternate reality

**parksie** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:58 PM

You need to. This one's too depressing!

**kedaman** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:22 PM

youre so right

**Static** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:36 PM

Translate please?

72p / litre????

how many litre per gallon anyone?

and 1 pound is baout how much $?

here in NY gas is (for the cheap stuff 87 octane) $1.67 a Gallon!!! it will pass $2 in june

premium is alreat at 1.85

it sucks!

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:38 PM

8 litres = 1 gallon I think
£1 = about $1.45

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:39 PM

cheap gas = 1.91
premium = 2.05

in California......we still pay significantly less than Europe though per gallon. They really get taken to the cleaners!

**Static** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:40 PM

cant be! that would put it in the $8 / gallon range!

i bet its closer to 2 litres...

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:41 PM

I lied, it's 4.5 litres = 1 gallon

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:44 PM

jeez, you're complaining about $1.67/gallon. I just worked we pay $4.79 a gallon!!!!!!!! That is a ****ing outrage

**Static** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:47 PM

yeah! I just did the conversion too!! HOLY S**T!!! you are getting robbed!!

well...then I cant complain...

sorry

now is the cost of living up there??

like what is a typical 1 bedroom apt cost?
how about a Gallon of milk (or a 4.4451 litre

)

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:51 PM

I paid 115,000.00 for my 2000 sq.ft house.....I saw ads for three bedroom apartments for that much in the London Times. They make a lot higher salaries but they pay megagazillions more for everything!!!

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:52 PM

1 bed apart. really depends where you are. London is silly money ($50-100,000+) but elsewhere probably a more reasonable $40+

Unfortunately, milk is sold in pints. I'll have to find out how many litres a pint is

**parksie** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:53 PM

1pt = 568ml

Says so on the bottle

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:54 PM

2 pints = 1 gallon

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:57 PM

Parksie, it's 30p a pint right? or something like that. I can;t remembet. I usually just pick things uop if i need them without bothering to look at the price.

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:59 PM

for you maybe, British pint is different according to this thing

pint (U.S.) 0.4732 litre 2.1134 pint (U.S.)

pint (British) 0.5682 litre 1.7598 pint (British)

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 06:01 PM

ok, i think this is right. A gallon of milk is 77p ($1.07 to you)

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 06:02 PM

We couldn't possibly make this much harder could we??

Unfortunately I have to go.....I see you tomorrow!

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 06:03 PM

cya!!

**Static** · Apr 30th, 2001, 07:25 PM

I happen to remember that 1 gallon is 4.546 litres, in case you're after some accuracy.

That's a UK Gallon

A US Gallon is 3.785411784 litres

so 78p per litre = £2.96 per us gallon (0.78 *3.785411784)
£2.96 in US$ = 2.96 * 1.45 = 4.28

so 78 UK Pence per litre = $4.28 per US Gallon. Bargain!

The average UK Salary is approx £19000 per annum
which equals $27550 per annum (@$1.45/£)

**HarryW** · May 2nd, 2001, 11:17 AM

I assume £19k is the mean? The average for people I come across certainly isn't that high, perhaps it's raised by the real high earners. The median must be a bit lower.
