@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialI think it's different lengths across the span, but I'd say the front and top is probably a shade under eight inches. I'm pretty experienced at judging eight inches by eye. (because that was charge range in Necromunda '95)
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialWell my response was to point at my hair and say "this long", and she got frustrated and indicated through gestures that she expected me to know how far DOWN it would go if it was loose, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY MORE SENSE.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialWell I only have one tape measure to hand, since I'm in Glasgow and my Warhammer stuff is in Nottingham. Plus I didn't remember I had the tape measure until after she'd got out of the lift.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialI was going to follow that up with rhetorically asking you, Bluesky reader, whether she was expecting me to pull a tape measure out and measure it, but then I realised that I do indeed have a tape measure in my bag, for in case I’ve forgotten my other tape measure when playing Warhammer.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialOf all the inane questions I’ve been asked about my hair, “so how long is your hair?” being asked by someone staring directly at it has to be right up there.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialMe!
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialFantasyCon! I’m around today, come see me on Dungeons & Disorderly in the Flame Tree room at 6pm, and DJing the disco at 9pm in the Main Room (I’m taking requests)!

@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialI think you should be asking her that really.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialNow I'm imagining Brian Blessed doing Brock Lesnar's finisher.
@mikebrooks668.bsky.socialPlenty be.
