I should add that there are some advantages to being stunted:

~ Likely to live longer as heart doesn't have to work as hard pumping blood round body, not as far to go.

~ Likely to be far fitter due to having to take twice as many steps when walking same distance.

~ Don't get concussion on Friday night when bashing head on the "Please mind your head" on the low ceiling beem sign in the local booza.

~ Less blood in body requires less booze to reach intoxication in previously mentioned watering hole.

~ Eating a single chocolate digestive can be considered lunch

~ Can fit perfectly in a Ford GT40

Damnit, so many positives, I think Im going to go and chop 1ft off my legs now.

For the sake of accuracy (and the impending legal action I'm taking against everyone on this forum, and their partners, and their partners' pets), I am about 5'4" I think -- although it's been years since I actually checked. You see, Nick, Paul and Graham are all 6'+, hence I seem even smaller in their presences.

Although in fairness, Graham hasn't made any wisecracks yet. He's nice.

SEE YOU ALL IN COURT!

Mike forgot Effy – he's not tall.

Out of five Englishers, three are tall. Out of two foreigners, one is tall. Out of one woman, none is tall. Therefore:

60% of Englishers are tall
50% of foreigners are tall
0% of women are tall

Mike therefore statistically has more in common with a foreign woman than he does with an Englisher.

Deathchimp's sci-facts are irrefutable. If we plot a graph of sizeism versus why some people prefer Aquafresh:

Never trust graphs from short people, they can't reach to fill in the high points...

As someone of 6'3" I am vaguely worried about the attitude of some tall people and think that 5'4" is very big for a hobbit, lol

The only time I ever went to the office and saw Mike, I thought he was just sitting down all the time. He looks taller in his photo - it's nearer the top of the page. Boom boom.

Andy (5'8" and gosh darn proud of it m'am)

Note to self: stop watching Basil Brush of CBBC.
