Length has just joined us and , bravely, started a new BS thread with his or her first post.
Welcome aboard Length.
You obviously care about the British Army. Anything else you would like to share with us?

You got that right, Skipy. And there are a few other places where that applies...

My brother tells this story on himself: A door at his house was too long and dragged on the floor. He took it off its hinges, laid it across a couple of saw horses and cut off a couple of inches.

He rehung it and it was too short. So he took it back to the saw horses and sliced off another inch. Rehung it and it was still too short.

A professional carpenter with great reluctance accepted some gilted wood to make a picture frame for a friend of his. It was expensive stuff and if he goofed it...

He carefully measured - two shorter lengths and two longer - and cut two of the lengths, one longer and one shorter. Did the next one and discovered that he had cut short one of those he had designated as being longer. Anyway, he thought, no problem. I'll just use the other.

So he cut another length. And, he told me, Damned if I didn't do it again.

(I realize it has nothing to do with this. I also realize that I messed up the story- I don't remember exactly how it went.)

Welcome to the Cat, Length.

Actually s/he calls him/herself "The Length". When I read Keith's post I thought hmmmm! So I did a little investigating and it would seem Keith was being a little facetious with his comments. I think I might get to like The Length;-)

Ebbie, that was a great story, even though it was more like two. It wasn't long enough, though.

Hey guys nice welcome. My name is Gus Wilson and my handle was given to me by my old headmaster when I was 11. In the event you think it's something to do with my manhood, sorry to disappoint.
I am and always have been a beanpole (6'3"). Hey Kenny I do care about the army, few mates in at moment. Hate this cover-up s..t by government if any of the lads pull a stroke.
Arsenal fan by the way.

I met Geoff Boycott ! he attended a game near Leeds to help us raise money for cancer. A friend of mine Jane Tomlinson wrote to him and he came. Suffered cancer himself, think he's clear now.

I've been talking at Length in The Cat for some time, so I'm glad you finally actually got here, so they won't accuse me of muttering to myself any longer. Now if I could only solve the Bad Breadth and Half Width accusation problems....

Welcome from cold, icy Laurel Maryland, USA! Hope to cross threads with you soon, but...

So Longer For Now!

And from sunny, balmy, New Brunswick, Canada. Pay no attention to Severn's puns. Why, he'd go to any Length for a pun.
