As Canada is metric I suppose I should be saying 'mega kgs' rather than continuing to use the antediluvian imperial system.

Must be a North American thing then. Certainly rampant in the U.S.
The other one is "like". As in
"And I was like . . ."
"And then she was like . . ."

Kilokilos or Megagrams, I suppose. Or tonnes as we say in metric English.

A gay, Napoleonic weight. Not to be trusted.

Finished the interviews. One of today's candidates took a phone call mid-interview.

Are you allowed to exclude them as a result, or is that discrimination?

If mids isn't allowed to, he bloody well should be.
It's the height of rudeness to have your phone switched on in an interview, never mind answering the bloody thing. Unless the interviewee starts things off with, "I'm expecting a phone call from my dying mother's nursing home" or some such, I'd mark them down as unsuitable in doing what they did.
Manners maketh man 'n' that.

He didn't get it for various other reasons but that would have been the killer.

Yes. Geo-engineering seems like really asking for trouble.

"Game changer"
Game changer ingredient - adding anchovies to pasta sauce for rich umami taste.
Yes it does, but f**k off.

"Give your head a wobble". It often seems to be military or ex military that say it.

Referring to Afghanistan as Afghan. Very ex-mob.
