Of course you know Rachmaninov had a full octave span between pinky and thumb. Check this guy out!

An octave span is no big deal houd, most people can span an octave on a keyboard without much problem, even lizzy (with her size 5 gloves). Rachmaninoff could span two octaves on a piano keyboard, it was suspected that he had marfans syndrome due to his king size span.

I haven't got a piano at home to compare but I can touch both Ctrl keys on a keyboard at the same time without depressing any other keys (with the same hand, obviously). Look at me.

You either have a smaller keyboard, or bigger span, than I do.
SCIENCE: Tip to tip on my hand is 25cm. Is that any use?

standard keyboard as far as I know. my span seems to be 25cm. I bet scouse's is about 12cm.

Never mind mistaking two octaves for one you plebs. What about the gig? I like 8)

A gem. The DVDs are definitely worth getting.
I love Kevin Eldon as the evil hypnotist.

That 'big hands' sketch includes an extremely rare example of Catherine Tate being moderately funny.
Eldon is so good he makes Hyperdrive passable.

Almost passable. That fat heifer-like woman is annoying enough to cancel out his good though.

Not to mention that Tracey-Ann Oberman before she moved on to the terminally depressing "lets have a cuppa tea, thats bang out of order, geroutta my pub"-a-thon that is Eastenders.
I also particulaly enjoyed Kevin Eldon's portrial of "The Actor Kevin Eldon" in TMWRNJ.
P.S. did anyone else spot Eldon and the equally underrated Mark Heap cameoing (is that a word?) in the confusingly semi-americanised recent butchering of Dahl's classic CATCF?

Maybe at the time but thankfully I remember nothing about it.

On a wet and potentially suicide inducing Saturday afternoon in Sheff Houdini's original post and the Princess Bride thread have given me the will carry on (oh and the recently delivered case of Domain Tempier Bandol I've just had delivered).
