Is six and a bit still tall? My husband is 6'4 and teenagers are routinely dwarfing him now. Maybe it's just something in the local water.

Bloody terrifying it is as a 5'1 shortie, mind.

I'm taller than almost everyone in my immediate family, with the exception of my dad, uncles, and possibly my cousin.

Very much a relative thing, given that I am relatively tall amongst my peers but would no doubt be dwarfed by the average Westerner.

Height is relative. Perspective is everything.

It was starvation or maize.

We made the right choice.

The maize coulda saved ya the mass graves, you know. Could've used the land that's now grave plots for that sweet corn.

Was maize shipped across the Atlantic ocean that apparently tasted like sulfur by the time it got to Ireland, I don't exactly blame them for not managing to save themselves from it.

Now, I'm not particularly keen on the whole "rawr rawr sins of the British" spiel or anything, but the reason people died and emigrated in such numbers is because it was potatoes, have money, or nothing. Other crops were paid as taxes to the Empire, build roads for food scheme doesn't feed a country.

One of those things that doesn't feel right in the blood for me to joke over, don't mind me. o/

Ah, it's alright. I think my distance from the issue is why that kind of joking, however black it is, sits a bit better with me than it should.

Yeah.

We should instead joke about that time Singapore was Malaysian and how beneficial it was to everyone involved...

And that time the Malaysian government was like "fuck it, Singapore's more trouble than it's worth," and expelled it.

Pretty much.

Let's be fair, the best thing that happened was that that happened because given how developed Singapore has become, the squabbles over islands and the bridge tolls, I can't imagine what the tension between the two would be like if they were still one political entity.
