    Well your on to me. I enjoy a good blinging, as long as you're gentle!

    Nay, he's fibbing. And clearly never actually tried it, because if he had, he would know that try as you may, it's impossible to tie it so the knot doesn't slip. Even if you wrap it round your waist twice it still comes undone .

    So you'd have to splice it like a rope then, is that what you're saying?

    Well, that would be one possibility, albeit painfull.

    The most practical solution is to toss it over ones shoulder, wrapping it round as many times as are required, like a Scotchman's plaid or a Mexican bandit's bandolier

    Untrue sir, A figure of eight stopper knot does the trick rather well. As you can see in this handy illustration.

    Well, yes, of course, if you're talking about something as thin as *that*. Anyone can tie a knot in a piece of string. Tying the same knot is a ship's hawser is another matter.

    Touche sir, I have been bested. I think the size comes from my heritage as I'm told we scots are tight fisted w@nkers.
