[#4660332]

Spotted this guy after reading a review on Amazon. He's even got his own website.

Meet [url= http://www.jeremyparnaby.com/ ]Jeremy Parnaby[/url]

Please someone tell me this is some sort of media trick to make me feel the need to spread the word of his website (which has no content)? Or is he just a tool?

Despite his lack of height he's obviously a great big d!ck

Using his shortness to sell his business. Clever guy.

EDIT do you lot really take everything you see online seriously?

Probably a bit Nathan Barley, but I can't see anything on that website that makes me want to refer to him as male genitalia.

I'm just a cyclist like you guys (albeit with shorter legs). There are bits on my site that could be described as content e.g. this blog post about cool furniture made from old bike bits http://jeremyparnaby.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/after-a-long-day-in-the-saddle/#comments

PS Peterfile, did you buy the book from Amazon?

Does seem a shame that he gets paid so little just because he's so much smaller than an average CEO of an average company. Poor little guy.....

Interesting that Ghengis Khan was only 5'1" though.

Hmm. It doesn't seem that Ghengis Khan was that short. More like 5'10". Source please Jeremy.

Genghis Khan wanted to be remembered as 5' 10" since he wasn't as comfortable with his shortness as I am. My source is the World Public Health Nutrition Association among many others. http://www.wphna.org/geoffreycannonjuly2010.asp
Who knows though.

What height are you guys? And do you measure up to me in the salary stakes?

Takes more than a hefty salary to make a man. 🙄

I thought the important male dimensions were length and girth, not height.

True Cinnamon girl, but the size of my wallet has its attractions to the opposite sex, as I keep discovering.

As for length and girth, qwerty, I'm not adding those to my website www.jeremyparnaby.com (for those just tuning in now after Boxing Day lunch)

Helps to have something to shout about if you're a short arse though.

Depends what form the mugging takes. And how does a small man spot a bimbo?

Ah but that's just an optical illusion.

Your wallet just looks big because its made for an Adult sized person.

I didn't Jeremy, it looked a bit rubbish. I saw a clip on the BBC website which featured Geraint Anderson, so I looked up his book after remembering the Cityboy column.

Have you ever thought about a career in the law? You could easily double that salary of yours. You'd fit in well too 🙂

I'm not a troll, though if I grew my hair a bit, I could get a walk-on part in Peer Gynt. As regards my wallet, remember that one on Pulp Fiction with Bad Motherf**cker written on it, guess what mine says

Mines got all my Strava KOMs on it. Needless to say it's a big wallet.

Did you really have nothing better to do over the Christmas break than google yourself and then follow up the results?

And do you measure up to me in the salary stakes?

Yes.

We are talking about Japanese Yen right? Cos then I absolutely make more than 500k.

And how does a small man spot a bimbo?

With a stepladder?

So what about all us small men without big salaries how are we supposed to feel?

Honestly heightism is worse than homophobia, we can't choose wether to be benders or not.. 😕

I can't believe that, in this day and age, someone who claims to be successful is still working for a living.

Or, even worse, still working someone else 🙂

jeremy can you please just tell me what your hight has to do with anything? in 2012 your hight cant really make things that difficult for your self? i mean what do you think you could do better if you was taller? why is being short such a disability in your eyes? you bang on about your hight on your website that much it gives the impression your that short you would struggle to open a door for your self.

ps. any job vaccines at the moment?

I'm very happy with my height (and my salary). It's just that others look down on small men and that's just not right. They say first impressions count and that tends to favour the larger bloke. I'm out there fighting for the little guy - someone needs to. Us small ones can be legends too! Well I am anyway.
