I Am Considering Carrying Some String In My Hymer And Need Advice...

[Old Soldier]

oh! is this you? well, someone was going to do it....

Could have been in my Army days!!!! I'm more concerned at the chap crying on my shoulder...hope he does not have a pair of scissors handy!!!

 

[pappajohn]

Are you having problems finding your way back to the van.

No, he's string-ing you along.

 

[Ockerron]

If you're off to buy some string don't go with @Ockerron! Guaranteed if you ask for some string and the shopkeeper asks you how long you want it, Ron will reply that he wants to keep it! SO predictable.....

I do so hope this isn't the end of the thread.

I wanted so very much for it to be mentioned in this week's Motorhome Fun Newsletter.

Having thought about your original question, I knew I had some balls of string tucked away for emergencies, and decided to get them out, unroll them and measure them.
That way I could advise you of the nominal length that you could carry as a useful accessory.
SWMBO walked in to the room and asked me what I was doing.
All I said was that I was rummaging in my drawers, and would she please hold one of the balls for me as the other was stuck in the bottom of my drawers and needed a good yank to get it out.
Apparently I am a disgusting pig !!!!!!
If I was you I would think very carefully about keeping string. You never know what it can lead to.

I still don't understand why I have to have a shower and sleep in the shed.

I think she is just highly strung.

 

[Old Soldier]

Keep this up and we'll all be strung up...

Hopefully not by the (string) balls

The piece of string you need will always be 1 inch longer then the piece you have so all you need to do is decide how long you want them add an inch.

 

[Old Soldier]

Get knotted you lot, I'm off to bed, or at least, off to my hammock

 

[gus-lopez]

How long do you think it should be?


JJ

Depends on whether you need " a piece " or "a ball " ?
" A ball " is easier to store.

How much string d'you need to tie a hammock up with?

 

[mariner]

OK you forced me to do it.

Many years ago I had, apparently, completely un-realised by myself, got into the habit of asking 'Well, how long's a piece of string?' in answer to imponderable questions eg How long do you think this (or that) will take' 'How long will it take whoever to ring me back, d'you think?' and suchlike. One day I said it again and our boss flicked a shortish piece of That Stuff across the desks so it hit my nose and landed smack in front of me - at which my colleagues -and I - burst into immediate raucous laughter.

OK then said I - I'll measure it - then we'll all know. Which I did, so I know the answer!!

Thereafter, I just used to lower my glasses on my nose and LOOK at them!

Michael hadn't intended it to hit me, it was just far more aerodynamic than he'd imagined, and I bet he was an ace bowler when he played cricket !


It's seven and three quarter inches JJ.

Well that's that then... years and years of mathematical philosophies and it was staring us in the face all along.....seven and three quarter inches... I never did.....

 

[snailtrailer]

You beat me to it JJ. I was going to say you're trying to get in Jim's newsletter with the longest 'thread' - alas frayed knot

You don't need to take any string if you park next to a patch of stringing stinging nettles, as
m'man Dave at Ancient Arts demonstrates:

 

[Old Soldier]

Les says I'm a bit bossy...says I'm too STRINGent...

 

[parknride]

Saw this in a shop window this morning and thought of you @JJ

 

[JJ]

Thanks Mr Parknride...

Did they say how long the string was?

JJ

 

[parknride]

You have to tell them how long your requirements are, they also have different thicknesses....they chop off the ends with those big black shears sooooo how big do you want it, I could pop back and get you some?
