I am measured by hands.
I stand still in anticipation.
I can be doubled or halved.
It takes 119.5 of my smallest
measure to create perfection.
You can call me at the end
of every great night.
Taking me is well worth the effort.

What am I?

I am measured by hands. on the counter
I stand still in anticipation. of chucking out time
I can be doubled or halved. small meat and chips, medium meat and chips, large meat and chips
It takes 119.5 of my smallest
measure to create perfection. chips
You can call me at the end
of every great night. don't we all

I can run but not walk.
Wherever I go, thought follows close behind.
What am I?

Exceelelnt...

Here's the next one

Stretching from here to there,
I can be short or long.
I can be remote,
But in good company I am less so.
A measurement of space,
Put me between you and the rest
of the pack and you are assured
a gold medal
