Found the Brannock Device, but can't find the barney cord (spelling? barnicord?). Perhaps it's barleycorn? Which seems to be an easy conversion.

From your wiki link:

Barleycorn may mean:

a grain of barley
English unit of length equal to 1/3 inch

Which is what Mr Frye said -- about a 1/3 of an inch.

Funny. I never thought it meant anything other than "barleycorn." Those Brits. I just accepted such an odd unit of measure.

Ah Phil Jupitus, so painfully unfunny. I understand he has an audience but he kills every episode he is in for me, always too pushy getting his jokes in.

Aw, Phil Jupitus is great. It's Ruby Wax I can't stand. Luckily she was only ever on once.

I thought they were saying 'barnacle', which would make it much better.

Also: "played poker with a witch" - brilliant.
