Being tall has it's advantages:
* you can hold off aggressive short people by putting your hand on their heads to prevent them reaching you.
* you can get top-shelf publications without the embaressment of having to ask an assistant
* if you're sat down and someone is stood in front of you, you can stand up and loom above them, like a great towering ..... thing
* you can stand anywhere in a concert..and still see
* you ALWAYS have a psychological advantage

BUT..there are also the downsides:
* have to keep ducking your head to get through doorways
* strong winds become an issue
* are usually the first to be picked for 'volunteer work'
* air travel is excrutiatingly uncomfortable
* shagging in cars becomes an excerise in contortionism
* your feet always hang off the end of the bed
* worksurfaces are ALWAYS too low down, and this is why my back is fucked!
* and YES, it IS colder up here

lol
It's that good ol' "ying-yang-thang"

On balance, I'd rather be tall.
I have a friend who is very short - she is about 5'2", I reckon...it must be funny to see us together
My eldest son (he is 6 yrs old) is also going to be very tall, but thankfullly he will probably carry more wieght than I do - he is already as tall as the bottom of my rib-cage...makes him about 4 and a half feet tall (?)...I'll measure him later lol
I did that 'work-out-how-tall-yer-kid-is-going-to-be' thing when he was a baby, and according to the math, he will be about 6'7" in adulthood

I agree totaly with everystatement.
