The joke was your weight at birth, numpty.

Yeah you are right. My calculations are off. I only deal in stones

I'm decidedly old school even though it was only metric at school. With height I haven't got a clue when it's stated in metres until I do a quick calculation but when it's feet and inches I can envisage it easier.

It's such a burden to carry that sort of weight downstairs too

I haven't got a clue what I weigh in stones or lbs.
Last time I checked it was 86 KG on the works dispatch scales.

That's not exactly something to brag about if you're 5'2".

Oh and 12 stone is actually 168 lbs, for you British peeps.

I think he said he's 5'6". It seems like it would be difficult to fit 178 lbs under that height with only a 32" waist - lot's of muscle?

Edit - Oh, 168 lbs? that sounds more correct. But I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs and I also have a 32" waist. Maybe jackhammer's got his meters/inches conversion off too?
