I'm 5'10" (and a wee bit). A mate of mine who's going to Sandhurst is 6'7", the lankey bugger!
Now then, then now, now then now, now then. Never poo poo a poo poo. Damned stout fellow.

Quite right Adam, nowt wrong with a short arse, 5ft 6 but at the weekends it can go up with those high heels.
There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can't.
