Post by bassboyluke »

Because I screwed the last poll up I thought I'd give it another go... Hmm. It's also in conjunction with my 'get to know what I'm up against' scheme (although I know we don't compete for places in training).
By the way, I'm 5'11.5" if anyone wants to imagine me; good looks, intelligent, etc.
I just thought some people may be interested in this as I know some of you guys are beasts...

I already have a pair pink with a nice strap, but i only ever wear them on special occasions like tuesdays. I'm 5"9 when i wear them, its like being a real man, except I'm wearing pink high heels.

nearly 13st though, what I lack in height I make up in pretending to have angry short man syndrome.

6'1" 90KG

I seem to have quite a well adorned gut :drinking: . However I can outrun a lot of my mates who carry much less fat.


Is there a ratio that must be attained in the medical?
Or does it just go by ability.

Talking of height, anyone see the program about the war in Iraq that was on BBC2? A US marine who was guarding the docks must have been 6 7 at least!

Someone do a poll for 'how heavy are you?' Im interested but cant be arsed myself!
