Nike Air Max are a classic short person trick to add a couple of inches to your height. The air bubble supposedly adds an extra 1.5 inches, which would mean that Giles was nearly 5 foot 9 in them. His little legs in his jeans are hilarious though!
Well spotted. Reminds me of Bono's favoured footwear, black platform shoes (and not just when he's in character or on stage):
5 reasons why Giles is a bigger
twit than Bono ( a man whose name, spelt backwards, is literally O Nob ):
(1) Bono has never, that we are aware of, grotesquely slurred and slandered an elderly journalist who mildly challenged him on social media
(2) Bono has never, that we are aware of, insulted the memory of a talented young journalist who died young of cancer
(3) Bono has never, that we are aware of, found himself the subject of a police investigation due to a silly row with a neighbour over parking
(4) For all that people criticise Bono for all kinds of reasons, he didn't benefit from nepotism (his dad was a post office clerk)
(5) Bono while he has written some great tracks, is also responsible for atrocities such as:
"The air is heavy/heavy as a truck" and "Miami. My mammy". But even those outrages against taste are better than Giles's best ever article.
So, well done lil Giles, against strong competition, you win the twatty short guy Olympics by a country mile.
