While were on about it why is that tall people are generally a bit slow on the uptake and usually will not stand up for their rights.
Quite a few of my tall mates are henpecked whilst the smaller ones appear to be more confident and successful in life
By the way I come in neither category as I am just your boring Mr average in terms of height.
I suppose it just shows that you can't generalize.

Now why did I not expect that response.
I would class 5ft 9 in and 12 .5 stone as average and I have no hangups about my size. It just goes to prove that being taller than average can be just as difficult to handle as being smaller than average .

Nah - I'm 5'10" and 15 Stone 4 Pounds, so you must be freakishly skinny - Only possible explanation I can think of........
Hmmm.
But yours is 25.8, which is still overweight according to the health fascists at http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/, and I will in no way accept that 12 and a half stone is overweight. As for myself, I will accept a bit tubby, but obese ?? Never !!!!

They are supposedly going to be reviewing the BMI charts - might make me a perfect weight for my height then instead of being a 'cuddly mummy' as my youngest calls me
I am pretty sure BMI is not used by doctors, as my Dad went for a check-up at the doctors a while back and was measured. It said overweight according to the BMI, but when he took his top off, the doctor noticed how muscley he is (he is for a 55 year old). So they take into account stuff like muscle build aswell.
The England rugby team are considered obese by BMI.

I had to take my eldest son to A&E a couple of weeks ago and the doctor we saw there told him he was severely underweight. He is 6ft 3" and a 32" waist, medium t-shirt (don't know his weight). Thing is, he eats like a horse & thinks nothing of going out for a burger or a pizza with his mates after he's had his dinner! I mean, what do I do, force feed him steroids?
lol I was like that when I was a kid, its cos he's active even when he's not, I still row twice a week but when I stop my body just shuts down.Brightness said:
sort of I'd go out after dinner down eight pints and have a pastie or two but was 12 stone.anobium said:johnny t
Its all a question of compared to what.
In the states I would be skinny and you would be classed as normal in the weight and size category.
Keep eating the dumplings
Honestly - I eat like a mouse !!
I was once buying a shirt in a department store in Boston, as BA had kindly lost my luggage, and aware of a possible difference in sizes asked the sales woman if she thought I was large or extra large. Being a big black woman, she looked me up and down, pursed her lips, did that moving her head from side-to-side thing and then said loudly, in a Tom & Jerry's housekeeper voice 'I would say you is Extra Large, Honey !!' so that everyone could hear, so maybe there isn't that much difference after all.
