I was just speaking to Paul on the phone about 15 minutes ago (he's in France at the moment remember) and he apologised for not calling me earlier ... which is cool, I don't expect a clock-in every day. Then he went on to say (to make me feel better), "You have been referred to quite a bit though to the people here. The word midget came up. I think I referred to you as a midget."

I am not a midget. Yes, I am small but I am 5ft 3 inches (okay 5ft 2.5 inches - but we're rounding up here okay). That's not midget sized. This is a midget.
