Airborne Group: Members Posts: 192 Joined: Sep. 2006 Posted: Dec. 11 2006, 13:16 I can confirm that Mike is indeed shorter than one would imagine from pictures. I met him in 1993 and he was a bit below my height of 5' 7", so he is 5' 6" maximum. It would seem that the magic height of 6ft is not easily achieved by Taureans. Back to top

Hey I appear top be shrinking:/ , I've been trying to keep myseld fit ,shift a few lbs, but if I weigh myself at the leisure centre I seem to vary between 5'4" , 5'3.7" today I was 5'3.3" how strange is that:/   I've always maintained I'm 5'4"-5'5" .

jonnyw Group: Members Posts: 522 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Dec. 13 2006, 08:01 im between 5'3 - 5'5 ( i think) I had a shite time at school when i was younger so its hard to me to feel good about it. Thanks Stefan for listing me under a great small musican! When you guys say it doenst matter. your right it doesn't. But tell bullys that anyway yeah i suppose mike never had any issues with it, but at the same time, he wasnt in school long enough i guess! its ok being small sometimes, like when some people meet me under the image of me being a musican, and they find me more welcoming, however at the same time, when your 17, no-one really takes you seriously unless they get to know me. I duno, glad to see others that are good with it! -------------- Grand piano. Reed and pipe organ. Glockenspeil. Bass guitar. Vocal chords. Two slightly sampled electric guitars. The venitian effect.
