Bit of a rig
I come in somewhere around 6'6 and resent it if only for standing out having poorly fitted clothes and blocking the view of shorter folk at gigs.. Would you rather be freakishly short or freakishly tall?

I have absolutely no idea how tall he is.
I have an auntie who's 5' tall and her husband (coincidentally my uncle) is well over six foot. Very cute couple.

I've been offered a 9 month extension - I've not committed either way yet, the project isn't going well and some of the people I work with are spastics, so we'll wait and see.

I once played in the same bill as a young band who showed great potential like that
Their music was nothing special - generic blues rock - but they played reasonably well enough for me to remark that if they got hold of some good records and absorbed some good influences they could one day be good.
They didn't. They grew up to be The Enemy. It transpired that they only managed to get hold of Oasis and Jam records. I was very wrong.
