not sure what two metres is. sorry.

i'm not really complaining. 6'6" is alright, but i can't hide in a crowd.....

Well, 1 (one) metre is almost 39.37" (" = inches BTW), so, 2 (two) metres is 78.74" (almost). 6'6" equals 78". So, you are too small to enter the playground. Bono understands how you feel.

stormkeeper · 15-01-2006 2:17am

I'm 6 feet... I've got a friend who is slightly taller than me...

OIC- 6'6" means six feet six inches ('= feet and "=inches). actually, i'm too big to enter the playground. i tend to topple off the rides......

BTW- love bono. love U2. love a lot of irish musos.

Terrible I know! but but but! I have been up and down the east coast hundreds of times soo hopefully that makes it a little better

and the answer to where I'm from is my above post. Its been good to me, but one day I'll live somewhere else thats a bit more laid back with beaches

-thats my style.. I'd love Australia for sure!
also Pennslyvania is a great place, happy I'll be spending 5 years of my life there

(I just started school this year)

austin is fantastic. very cool people. great music scene. very lush- not what you'd picture texas to be like at all. i lived just outside of austin for about ten years, and i really loved it.

galwaydude · 15-01-2006 2:44am

thats cool about austin as my gf has relations there and we will be going down there soon for a weekend.

ct is beautiful though. in any case, i would love to retire to aussie with my wife. her parents have invited us to move down there, and they'd pay and all that. i'm too proud to do it without plenty of savings, and a job set-up for me, but i could definitely live in australia. it is so gorgeous.

remember "sixth street". that's the music scene and bar scene. and "hippy hollow" has naked swimming, with lots of very wonderful laid-back people around. austin is probably my favorite area in texas. wimberly is a beautiful town next austin. you gotta see wimberly. b & b's, and hills and rivers......you've got me dreaming about it........

Nice nice, my best friends brother moved up to New Hampshire, he loves it there.

Middletown, that isn't too far from me -then again, CT isn't so big that I could say that about most of the towns haha.
I do like that its close enough to nyc and boston so its possible to make day trip visits. Good as well for concerts if that floats your boat.. ur gonna get any big name act to play either hartford, nyc, boston or jersey, so you're good there

and Mass. will treat you well as well, so either or will work out for you.

Good luck with the move!

The voices in my head, or the cynical Irish people I talk to. They could be one and the same though.

Thanks -as if its my own haha -its true, it is beautiful here in the fall, and well, all of the seasons

Its nice that all the seasons get a fair show here.. although sometimes I find myself wishing it were summer year round here as its hailing right now

and I edited my statement, sounded a bit harsh, after all, I still have met some great people here and it is where I was raised. heh, but ah well -you caught it in a quote

That is a very generous offer, you're not kidding that they are welcoming!

I hear you though -thats a respectable act waiting to be able to support yourself. But heck -one day that will be lovely, it has to paradise there from the stories I hear. So funny to think that people would be banished there for crimes, incredible!

My school offers studying abroad programs to there.. I think it would be the greatest thing in the world to try that out. To study abroad in another country, nevermind paradise!
We'll have to see how life pans out though... *fingers crossed*

Peace!
ps -You have a great number of quotes right now at #41

-hehe, well, maybe you listen to dave matthews band, figured its a shot!

interesting you'd say that, about yourschool. i did my college internship in england- liverpool to be exact. i recommend travel. it changed my life.

and australia would be paradise. you're right. you shoud go. with me, i know i could go down there and live the rest of my life on those beaches. i play music, so i want to move there and work during the nights doing the music scene, and live the beach bum life during the day. i could really love that.

peace to you too.

40crush41 · 15-01-2006 3:54am

I'm definatly aiming for it, but the thing is I have a relatively strict course list .. I'm in for becomming an occupational therapist.. and they are very particular about which classes are acreddited and all of that.. therefore, making it more difficult for OTs to study abroad.
But it can be done.
And of course money is always an issue, but life is more interesting than money, so hopefully that can be sorted out

And lastly, hopefully parents can be persuaded.. its hard for them to know why I would want to spend more money to go so far from them for that length of time. although I love my parents, I'm hoping that in three years I'll be able to persuade them. (Most people go junior year)

Thanks for the encourgment though, its good to hear positive things about what you want to do

-that does sound like the life! I think I could love that as well -I love music and the beach.. and together... that would be living.

Yea, I have the tendency to type a lot

NoDayBut2Day · 15-01-2006 4:01am

I am between 5' and 5'1. Kinda short...

twentycentshift · 15-01-2006 4:13am

no problem. keep typing. like i said- i'm bored tonight.

try scholarships. there are specific scholorships out there for foreign schooling. i got mine paid for. pretty cool.

you'll miss your parents, but it's time to break away from the nest (if i can be so bold).....go for it. it will change your life.

Fajitas! · 15-01-2006 4:21am

6'4 Here.

From what I've seen, the average in Ireland seems to be the 5'10 mark.

twentycentshift · 15-01-2006 4:26am

lot's of tall people there, from these replies.

maybe i'd fit in ok afterall. i was head and shoulders over most of the guys i met in england......i had to duck to get through the doors.....

nice people, and nice place, though.

Thats amazing that you got it all paid for, good for you! Its def a thought -there is a lot of money out there to be had. And yea, I know I hear ya about leaving. You're not being bold, its true. I learned so much about myself already just living 2 hours away from home. Well, not that I would need to go to the other side of the world to "find myself" but in a way it would be an interesting test to go through.
But I wouldn't be able to do it without their backing and support, ah, the art of persuasion would be a fine tool to have. I just see it being such an opportunity to see the world, no doubt would be cool -haha, and would add to my cool factor for sure

haha, well I have sometime to think about it, and brainstorm and everything

And thanks for listening!
Well I'm calling it a night

again welcome, and nice talking to you tom, see you around these boards!

SexeeAussie · 15-01-2006 7:36am

1.98 metres. 6'5"-ish.

People's height increases when availabilty of food increases. The generation born after WW" weren't that tall, possibly due to rationing (and various recessions). I'm 32 and was always the tallest person (more or less) around my town. Now there are loads of lads my height.

I want to be a freak again...;)
