That reads a bit odd to me. 'Some Of His Cattle And Horses Tom Offered Anthony'?

Never heard that one ! Silly Old Harry Caught A Herring Trawling Off America.

What's that got to do with Henry's six wives?

Our teacher used 'Tom Offered Anthony Some Of His Cattle And Horses'.

 

I STILL don't really know what it meant!

As a jet engine technical advisor (retired), i believe many folks have sound practical and theoretical engineering skills but do not necessarily have teaching or technical writing skills to empart that knowledge. Nonetheless they have the right to try to empart their wisdom and be respected for that. I,m listening to it all anyway.

It's no doubt in a league of its own and should be fastened up with a chain, because if you give them an inch they will take a mile.

It takes something to fathom them out when they are operating light years ahead of you - just cubit and hope for the best.

[Drayke]

I hope this is not anything to do with logarithms as I never did understand them?

Shirley you'd go the 'full 5 1/2 yards' & agree that the best way to catch a perch is with a rod.

You can only claim a rood once you have 40 perches
