Re: Gobbortunity Knocks
I'm pretty sure this sketch involved Cleese, Barker and Corbett... personally I think it's situational. In Glasgow pubs in the 1990s it wasn't unusual for me to be at least 3" taller than anyone else there. And LT will tell you I'm a wee Scot. I was dwarfed by Australian private school girls. (Although in all fairness, my chief memory was a senior journalist friend buying trays of cock-sucking cowboys for the Australian netball team on Green Square in Canberra.. and the memory is pretty hazy after that.)
Dwarfs = Highland Light infantry, which I always thought was odd, as they were supposed to be faster, but carry all the same size equipment as everyone else despite being 5 2" with a bad attitude. Should be slower with better morale.

'Kids are getting taller. I'm 6 foot but both of my oldest sons are well over that, the 20yo is 6'3' & the 18yo 6'4" & still growing.

Re: Gobbortunity Knocks
I wonder who would win a bar fight between the Camerionians (in their prime) and the Australian women's netball team (suitably fired up with CSCs)?
Close call?

Re: Gobbortunity Knocks
I can only speak from personal experience about who would come out on top .. errr
But most of the Australian Netball Team would be most disconcerted.
