nearly 6'2 now I ma barely 6'1

As I said, I'm 5'9 so you're taller than me.

I'm also between 230 and 270 lbs depending on how fat or how much I'm lifting our a million other factors. I used to be really big compared to most people but as holmes said, people are bigger now. Especially in the UK.

But fighting is about tactics. That's why the klitchko's did so well.

to a point, weight divisions exist for a reason.

Yeah, I get your point. That's why Yoda failed against Dooku and Sidious.

Sorry green goblin, you're too short.

I mean people like Holyfield, Tyson and Uysk, all come a cropped in the end and it's usually a good big fighter that does it to them.

So been pondering:

If the gasoline industry tried to hide the effects of lead, and the tobacco industry tried to hide the effects of nicotine, and they went to such great lengths that only failed because the harm to their product was so obvious, doesn't it make you wonder what harmful things in various industries may have passed under the radar?

Maybe shaving cream causes those cancerous moles in old men, for example. Point is, we already established big money lies when its a matter of life and death, and question is what else are they lying about, and who's actually looking into it (As in, are any honest regulators still out there, as opposed to captured regulators on the take..?)

yeah, but it's not New York or London busy it's a strange kind of busy. It's not even Cairo or Bangkok busy. Most of the figures are the poor trying to eke out... I won't say a living, but something.

Kinda like nyc. Also the song is a lie. I witnessed the city sleeping. Have a walk down broadway at 5 am new years day and you'll see that it's clearly sleeping, homeless included

Again, with footballers, a friend of mine met a footballer who was a lot shorter than what he was labelled as.

It must be an ego thing. Men tend to always think they're taller than they actually are.

A friend of mine got a Liverpool shirt that belonged to Emile Heskey and it was absolutely tiny on him.

That must have been an interesting walk. Some parts of London never sleep. I've been in a coffee shop in the west end after clubbing from 4 am till 6 in the morning the whole road was buzzing, still goes on now I'm sure.

Do you remember when Vinny Jones went on Gladiators and threw a tantrum because they treated him like a small child.
