Re: Extreme Sports!
I was just thinking,not that i have time to think much with my busy hectic work schedule,but people who come on here wouldn't really be the types for " extreme sports"!!
They'd do things like Nordic Walking-Chess-embroidery-pottery classes and things like that wouldn''t they?
Not things like kick boxing - mountaineering- wall of death motor cycling or white knuckle canoeing!! I'm probably the exception on here!!
Just a thought!!
