According to this fantastic little tool, apparently my height is 1.8 metres.

Use this converter for area, volume, liquids and solids to convert imperial measurements to metric or vice to versa.

Two top tools.

Bug Me Not allows you to read articles, usually on newspapers, without going through the required registration process. Obviously doesn’t work where articles require paid-for registration, only for those that want your email etc details because (usually) they want to try to sell you stuff.

Mailinator is an alternative method if BMN fails. Just use a disposable once-only Mailinator address; it’s kinda like ‘register, read, and run’.
