Off Topic The Burly Arms

Made me think of life on mars, but can't be because that was the 70's

 

Ashes to Ashes was the one set in the 80's

 

the football one was boss

 

Not sure on the attraction of surfing or skydiving/wing suit jumping.

but I have knocked myself out a few times doing silly things on skis so I guess it’s whatever stupid thing that floats your boat.

 

Apart from remembering knocking myself out, rediscovering a wagon wheel Jammie has been the highlight of my day

 

Reminds me of that woman that knocked herself out and went into a lake and I don't think anyone could work out where she had gone, but because the water was so cold and they were all medics, when they did find her, they eventually got her back to life...can't really remember it properly, would need to google it.

I am absolutely crap at skiing and snowboarding.

I thought the transition from surfing to snowboarding would be relatively easy, but it really ain’t lol.

Spent most of the time on my arse struggling to get up, and when you do stand up you go downhill really quickly, so I had to fall on my arse again to prevent me from hurtling into a crash barrier at 40mph lol

 

Learned to snowboard on plastic snow when at University, same with skiing.

can see the appeal of snowboarding, but used my face as a break too many times and switched to skiing. Nothing worse than catching an edge and bi g strapped to a board

 

I was the same going from snowboards and skateboards to surfing, just couldn't do it.

Was where I learned to ski, great memories of wasting afternoons here and it costing peanuts.
Place is totally gone now.

Quite like him, he's good on Buzzcocks.

 

All the best, Icarus

 

Funk to funky

Missus has booked tickets for Snow Patrol at Cardiff Castle this summer ... worried about parking ... might be chasing cars ...

 

Sounds a bit like Goodison Park, tbf ...

 

People who do extreme sports are/were usually very **** at playing footy in my experience

 

Didn’t die.
