According to this chart, my 1,89 metre makes me stand somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3". Not a very precise system, that. To quote Boris Vian, "Dans ces pays où le pied règne en maître, il serait bon que le mètre prît pied." (Sorry, can't translate that.)


Well had you heard the news
About Joan our ex-newspaper girl?
They found her swinging from a tree
And I know
Just a week ago, she was beautiful
But now now now she's rather vile

5'6". I suddenly feel like the diminutive one on the forum.

Em - surely you are more than 5'3" (if i remember correctly)?
Adam - just remember that the smaller the jockey the bigger the whip .

I'm 5'2", but not all of me is in this dimension.

...as you could probably guess.


To you my heart cries out "Porphyria," For I found you, the love of my life,
In somebody else's arms, Your eyes are echoing "Porphyria," Forgetful of our promise of love,
You're sharing another's charms
With a sad lament, my dreams
Have faded like a broken melody; While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

I'm 6'1" in case anyone cares. Which seems highly unlikely.

Here we don't use to say it, but it's true anyway: "Adoptad de una puta vez el sistema métrico, cerdos imperialistas". Someone usually adds: "¡Gibraltar Español!"

6'0" But for some reason, people usually think I'm shorter. I must slouch when I walk or something.

Heh, I was thinking that, but didn't want to say anything.

I'm 5'9. I think.

It's Cheeseman, so you might want to sign the petition to ban him...

5'6.5" buck naked, soaking wet.


This war, it will be just like the War on Drugs. It will be potent and effective and our objectives will be clear. The nation had a nasty drug problem and we declared a war on drugs and spent billions over many years and now you can't buy drugs anymore. It will be just like that.
