victorismyhero Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) ...or get your legs stretched? ahh....good old......................................................... Procrustes ..................................was a host who adjusted his guests to their bed. Procrustes, whose name means "he who stretches", was arguably the most interesting of Theseus's challenges on the way to becoming a hero. He kept a house by the side of the road where he offered hospitality to passing strangers, who were invited in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest in his very special bed. Procrustes described it as having the unique property that its length exactly matched whomsoever lay down upon it. What Procrustes didn't volunteer was the method by which this "one-size-fits-all" was achieved, namely as soon as the guest lay down Procrustes went to work upon him, stretching him on the rack if he was too short for the bed and chopping off his legs if he was too long. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, fatally adjusting him to fit his own bed. Edited June 28, 2015 by victorismyhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andra Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Poundland used to sell these black fabric/elastic things with velcro on, they were about inch and a half wide by approx 10 to 12 inches long and would wrap around lower calf ankle two or three times. Good for wrapping round hide poles and fishing gear too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I think we need to look at the cause of the problem in more detail before we end this post. Now if Mr HuskyRich was to give us all a clue to his overall dimensions; for example waist size and height then maybe we could see were the problem lies.
