Nic, you getting confused with metric? 6ft3 makes you taller than me, and I'm sure you ain't taller than me! :evil4:

Hooky is fcuking TINY. As is Barney. Check out Ness's avatar. The fact you can see her past Barney's waist proves how small he is! :evil4:

I'm defo 6'3", (1.92m), and yes, you are taller than I am...

I'm deffo 5'7" (1.70m) Just got an inpartial judge to measure me......not that size counts :brow:

Hmmmm.... The nurse at my health check said I was 6' 4 3/4" and when Shug and I met, his exact words were: 'Christ, you're a f**king big bugger'.

I'm sure I'm more than alot taller than you, Shug, so that would make you... erm... LOTS shorter than me! But then, you have the pics!

:laugh:

Who cares though. I'd love to be shorter...

I thought Shuglet was the same height as me , I know I'm a bit taller than Ness , bout the height of Jarvo's elbow and ROCKET is tall enough to borrow the oakleys of ma head without me knowing , I think I'm a similar height to One Brain . Few of yer are as rotund , though using the Shug Scale System ( pat pending ) , possibly few are as svelte:\ohwell:

You know.. some men do grow a couple of inches from their early 20s to 25ish. My S.O. was 6'4" when he was 23 and at 28 is 6'6"

Just sayin...

I'm pretty sure Jarvo is 6'4"... I dare people to measure him up :lol:

He is taller than me, and once again, I did check, and I am 6'3", just like my driver's license says ;)

Hey Nick this converter isn’t as good as that because it doesn't give the inches in 1/12 but in 1/10 (example: 1,79 m -> 5.90551185 feet !!!, not 5’11” 1/2).

And from what I have heard in the past Ian Curtis was about 1, 92 m (6'3").

Nope, defo only 6ft2. I don't think we stood shoulder to shoulder in the US, Nic, cos you were always complaining about your bloody knee! :evil4:

There's a few people here much taller than me, who stand a good 6ft4 or more: Biginoil, Nick King, Muffy, Hank Wiseass, Chris Nash, FourFortyFive, DC, Marko ... Conor maybe?

I am 6'4". I have stood next to IC and as I said, he was around 6 feet. I was 17/18, so maybe I was an inch smaller then, but he wasn't my height.

He only looks 6 foot. No taller. he only looks 6 inches taller than Hooky.

I think all this confusion stems from Deborah's (the other DC !!) comment in the book that he was "well over 6 feet tall".

Quite possible.. and fortunatly, that damned knee is getting better and better, I had surgery in August 2004, and everything seems to be getting better, so I shouldn't complain next year :evil4:

IIRC When Ian Curtis was still on this plane of existence the boys were only in their early 20s. Therefore, to compare their height now to pictures of them 20 years ago to get Ian Curtis' height is kind of silly. :idea:

We weren't. We were looking at a photo of all four of them stood together in a field in Stockport, behind Strawberry Studios.

You's are all fucking wankers.

It's official, I am a short arse :D

5ft 577....not even 5ft 6? I have always thought 170cm was 5ft 7.

Mr Mac we are indeed about the same height mate, I am still working on the formulaic for the rotund height system of the equation. Keep reading :thumb:

Maybe this will help

I'm 1,77m (5'8") by the way...

It's actually better being shorter as you can fit into decent clothes/shoes, are able to sit in cars/public transport without complaining about legroom, and are less likely to complain about back pains!

I envy the lot of ya (being about 6'4")! :)

Well there are not many women being taller than me, around here. I always feel some kind of uncomfortable if some girl can look down on me... :scratch: :shrug:

I know :)

One thing I noticed is that here (in the US) I'm not taller than most guys.. a lot but not most. However, when I was living in the UK, it was a treat to find a guy taller than I am. I found the same when going over to Europe on trips as well.

Think I'm about the same height as you, 6'2". Muffy's definitely taller than me.

how tall are you?

i've found the opposite with men. when i lived in the UK i had no trouble finding men taller than me (my boyfriends were 6' and 6'2", respectively, although i did briefly date a guy who was 5'7"). here i find men are usually shorter than me.
