Sports Travel: EXTREME READING - AN INTELLECTUAL PURSUIT FOR ALL!

Theme: Extreme Sports
Frankly I have two problems with the phrase 'Extreme Sports' - one is the word 'extreme' and the other is the word 'sports'. I have great difficulty with any activity that produces as a by-product, copious amounts of a) sweating and b) fear. Frankly neither are gentlemanly and both can lead to huge bills from one's drycleaner. Instead I should like to propose the sport of 'Extreme Reading'...less physically taxing than darts, kinder to the environment than 'Monster truck racing' and an excellent way to build up your brain. All you have to do is read faster than normal and do so for slightly longer. ..'er..that's it! Sadly, you will almost certainly have to walk to a library at some point in the exercise but I really can't help that!
Equipment: Book (compulsory...broadsheets also acceptable), Spectacles/ monocles/ contact lenses (only when eye strain demands) Sunglasses (only if reading in desert competitions, ottherwise manly squinting preferred!)

Size isn't everything, eh? I'm sure most prostitutes would disagree....Jetzt will ich Vienna zu besuchen... All this enthusiastic discussion of food is becoming contagious - I shall expect a three-course meal when I come round today! | kevanrijn Wed Feb 14, 2007 06:24 UTC
Great toilet tip--what fun. I can just imagine trying to take pictures of such a place! When I'm in Vienna next time, I will have to check them out. | allikat Tue Jan 30, 2007 22:27 UTC
