You mean that it should have been SOHCAHTOA?

 

So in this case "BA" means Bugger All?

 

When it should be 'grand a week pikey'

And slide rules. Wonderful things.

 

I've still; got the slide rule I had at school but I've forgotten how
to use the bloody thing. One day it'll be an antique and worth about
£2.50 then I'll sell it.

I have a little 6 inch one. I got it when I was an apprentice. It still
sees service today despite long ago losing the cursor. I still lust
after a circular one though.

 

I'm sure my dad still has a circular slide rule from years ago. I can
remember using it when I was being taught to use the normal type one.

Nice circular ones are, they slip into the old dust coat pocket a treat
and are 3 times longer than they look thus leading to great accuracy.

And it goes without saying that the user looks *really* cool. "Wanna
play with my round one baby?"

 

I had a ten incher. Green it was.

I previously heard "Silly Old Hitler Caused Awful Havoc To Our Armies"

Personally, I belive "SOHCAHTOA" was the shout of Japanese Kamikazi
Trigonometrists (equiv. to "Banzai!").

Yup. You're 48 this year aren't you?

 

Hardly that much older than you then Andy. Or come to that many of the
posters here.

 

Did I try to deny how old I was? It wouldn't be worth the effort.

 

Are you stalking me or something?
