Out of random interest, how tall are you?

5'8" why?

Bingo ..

Like I said 5'7" and a half 👍🏼

 

[AndyRM]

5'8" why?

Calling people a dwarf at that height?

My fiancee is taller than you.

My fiancee is taller than you.

I could be 3' tall and I'd still call her a dwarf?

I thought you shagged blokes?

I'm not sure we're supposed to mock other people's stature, whatever lofty heights we might attain for ourselves
(5'10" here, in case you need it for your spreadsheet)

Calling people 'dwarves' isn't very nice, full stop, is it.??

Congrats on the affiancing btw..

Although I can only hear 'fiancee' in a towie accent when I say it inside mine own head*..

*Thus unbundling a whole 'nuther spectrum of prejudices, I know 🤔

Why.?

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation of a generation I'd say.
Yes there was, and still is plenty of racism to be found.

But there was lots of anti racism sentiment and action in our parents and grandparents generation too.

We wouldn't have made what progress we have, without those people fighting injustice.

Perhaps to clarify: nothing overt or aggressive, more just a set of ingrained assumptions.

Sure, I get you , but I think even the more mature brain can, if it wishes to, overcome acquired assumptions.

5'8" why?

So you're two inches below the average height of an English man.

Nicola Sturgeon is one inch below the average height of a Scottish woman.

And you call her a dwarf?

Can we get a clarification here, on just how tall one must be, in order that the lampooning of the stature of others becomes acceptable.??

Is there some kind of formula / ratio that I've missed?

If I'm over 3" taller than the average British woman
(according to this https://www.onaverage.co.uk/body-averages/average-female-height)

Do I get to make fun of Shep's relative lack of loftiness by a factor of say five .??

Or is it an exponential increase in funnies contingent upon a secondary consideration of width ways measurements as well. ??

Please advise 🙏🏼

Yup. Taller ones than you, dwarf.

Channel 5. No thanks.

When they launched it all I got was static. When the aerials aligned and it kicked in, we wanted the static back.

Thank you, she's lovely and tolerates my bicycle nonsense which is wonderful.
