'nother just under six footer (5' 11 3/4" - bastard).

You should just build up really thick calluses on the souls of your feet. You'll be six foot tall in no time.

I'm 5ft 5 (and a half).

Personally I like my height, I'm "fun sized".

Not fun having to ask old women to reach tins on the top shelf at Tesco though.

I'm also 6'5" and it's rubbish. I would gladly lose 3 or 4 inches (in height :eek:) so I don't stick out quite so much. Short people (<6', heh) say "I wish I was as tall as you" and I always reply "no you bloody don't". Having to constantly be aware of doorframe-height is no fun at all.

Clothes shopping is a bloody nightmare, I hate tops/shirts that 'kick out' around the back of the waist (tall people will know all about this, shop assistants just don't seem to get it and give me a blank look when I try to explain). I have size 12 feet, which while not being quite as bad as a 15, still makes me look like a putter. :(

I'd also recommend Walktall, I used them quite a bit for shoes a few years ago. The larger sizes seem more commonplace on the highstreet nowadays though so that's not really an issue anymore.

Man, I guess a lot changes in 1", I don't tend to have any of those issues. That said, I've never really tried to buy anything even remotely designer when it comes to clothes. M&S suits me for more or less everything, though somtimes I have to order from the site rather than getting it in store. I've got size 14 feet, and there's a shop round the corner that sells big shoes - they're nowt fancy but they're not naff as fuck so they suit me fine.

Yes nath, but lets be honest.......


I've seen you try and fit in the back of a Cinquecento. It wasn't pretty ;)

Cinqe's are fucking ridiculous cars, and so are you for choosing one!

Also I was a heaving mound of blubber back then, not anymore. I'm not sure I could still get in to a cinqe without having my knees up by my ears but they're stupid little cars so I don't care. So nyah. :)

My friend is a lanky bastard, he's about 6'4" and we call him "legs" because he's so bloody tall, bunch of guys even got him a football shirt with LEGS on the back in honour of his tallness.

This is so sweet. I ask a research question, and inadvertently form an allegiance of mutantly giant men, with Ormorof as your leader.

My work here is done :)

Just cos he's tallest doesn't make him the leader, 6'4 is clearly the best height! Anyone else is just a shortarse or a lanky weirdo :)
