One Random Fact About You

Not quite the same here, match the height but span is only 6'5"

Until I was about 40 my waist was 27", but inside leg was 35 a tailor would always not believe the combination and would repeat the measurements, then write them down while mumbling what sounded like "deformed beanpole"

. . . Until I was about 40 my waist was 27", but inside leg was 35 a tailor would always not believe the combination and would repeat the measurements, then write them down while mumbling what sounded like "deformed beanpole"

I have the same problem ... I'm what the textile industry calls "portly" with a 48" waistline ... textile manufacturers firmly believe anybody with a 48" waistline can be no taller than 4 feet, and the longest inseam available is 24"!. Only when one has a 27" waist can long length inseams be found ... unless one goes to a Tall/Big Man shop where the prices are also as big :lol:.

That is interesting teddy, dare I ask why it was censured?

Well Margaret some of it was shot in the cloisters around the cathedral and there were what was deemed, in those days, to be too many naughty bits in it. Very mild by todays standards of course. I pl;ayed the part of a peasant. (Quiet in the stalls please).

Hey a belated birthday wish Sylvie, hope you had a lovely day.

I started wearing glasses at eight years old, I had a patch over the left eye, so I could make the right eye work harder. My brother used to call me Nelson.

Fair enough, we will now call you Miss Mandela. :D:D:D

I am colour blind with blues and black. Socks for instance have to be held side by side to tell the difference.
