Pretty average really just under 6ft, long torso, shorter legs..lol

I originally wrote "just under 6ft long torso, shorter legs".............which without the comma after 6ft would be one hek of an incredibly long body I would have maybe with microscopic legs....now that would be "freakish proportions"...lol..lol

Interesting you actually say that as the literal meaning of Sensus translated from Latin to English is feeling, sensation, sentiment, emotion!!

Matteus fights for truth, justice and is the defender of the XC60 way so I'm torn.
In Scrabble you have to use one word at a time. and then allow the other player to have a go. On that basis, I quite fancy my chances on this one........

Have to say that the ongoing verbal pugilism has made this a very popular and sometime entertaining thread

Only 'sometime[s]' Iain? I find your less than 100% support of the entertainment value of this thread reflective of an ignorance towards others' feelings (apololgies to all that I am only able to express this sentiment in english)....

(BTW, I'm Brian, and so's my wife!)
