Sorry for coming off as snotty. It wasn't my intention, I thought my statements were rather matter of fact. It's possible that after having attended two lectures on differential geometry I have forgotten that some of these things like circumference ratios and sum of angles of triangles being different in a curved geometry are not obvious to every one. I'm glad you learned something!
Edit: This picture should make it pretty clear for anyone who is new to this concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Euclidean_geometry#/media/...
No probs, and yes I certainly learnt something important, thanks.
