    I used to be petrified of heights...then somehow ended up getting into rockclimbing, suffice to say I have cured myself now. Weirdly the only thing that still scares me with heights is watching other people close to edges whilst high up, I seem to be convinced that they are suddenly going to slip and fall.

    I actually agree, but it's not a consciously controllable reaction!

    Agreed - I didn't experience any adrenalin at all doing that bungee - as I say (and similar to Dan's experiences it would seem) my brain just kind of switched off as it thought I was trying to kill myself, I would guess....

    I broke my elbow coming off a moped. Far more dangerous bloody things than proper bikes.

    I waited until my mid-life crisis before getting on two wheels. Still a novice, but great fun.
    My wife was reluctant but in the end she relented, but it will be a cold day in hell before I can persuade her to get on the back of my motorbike.

    A great big roller coaster where you climb up the Saints side, then plummet yelling Pompey on the way down :)


    (Yes. I am ignoring the irony.)

    I watched 'No country for old men' last night.

    Javier Bardem's character looks like Natalie Portman in Leon.

    Time to change that avatar, I think. She's not trying hard enough to keep your love.

    On another topic, GBS, did you see Cal today..?
