Poor guy. And thing that sucks is, as an additional gift with the social problems, the extra height will probably stress his body so much that he will likely not live long past 50, if he makes it that long.

I work with Britain\'s Second Tallest man.
However Carl is now in a wheechair most of the timedue due to the same condition as the new record holder.
Sat down Carl is the same height as I am (5\'.10+\").

The thing that got me was that most of the people in the background weren\'t standing and pointing or just plain staring at this gent, all thought some of them clearly where wanting to.

The Second Tallest man in Britain?!? Sounds like an odd thing to know/have on your business cards/name placard. :D:D

i enjoy being short. its easier to kick people in the crotch if need be.

as for tallest, i met sandy allen a few times actually. she was the worlds tallest woman. she lived in indiana. she came to our school and talked to us, and i met her at the mall one time when living in indianapolis and i thanked her for talking to our school when i was a kid. she was a genuinely sincere, and wonderful person.

Girls do grow taller beyond the age of 11, y\'know. :p

They do, but it\'s common for them to stop growing at an early age; boys tend to start later and carry on longer.

A 7\'ft dude went to my high school and is playing college ball in the US now. Can you imagine being even 8ft?.. I\'m not enjoying being 6\'3, 6\'4 very much as it is.

I\'m 6ft 5in and I don\'t want to be taller than that!

I can still buy clother off the peg!

I\'ve worked with people that are taller, I don\'t envy them.

lol No it\'s due to him having to go constantly for health checks.
The disorder affects his spine & joints to the point where they can\'t support him for long.
His hands are huge, joking about once he was able to cover from my chin to my hair line with the palm of his hand.

Mind you i made him blush with the line \"If more than a handfulls a waste, then you are a very very lucky man\".
