    For a moment there I read that as you wanting to "add a large girlfriend extension" and wondered what Mrs michaels would have to say about it, and whether it was a large extension for a girlfriend, or an extension for a large girlfriend... ;)

    Mind you, it's been done before, and I dare say it'll be done again!

    Ah, for you there's the sit on kayak then :)


    Kayaks are still wobbly, and even wobblier getting in and out, plus there's still the getting wet bit.
    Nah! I'll stick to parachuting!

    Ah ...... it is outdoorsy :)
    An easy water based activity for people who are idle ... not sporty. Except the kit bit, that's a bit active and faffy ...

    That comes under the categories:
    - you could die.
    - it's so expensive you could only ever do it once.

    I veer away from these categories.

    Blow-up sit-on kayaks.........wot, like those giant bananas? :D





    Eaten by monsters from the deep? Not much chance of those in the Channel!




    Although there was that beluga whale the other week that got lost. That was just the Thames estuary, though.
    Also, I don't think a beluga whale could manage to eat a human. They usually stick to cod and squid and the like. :D
    It might want to play for a bit, though. :)

    How much are you spending...?

    Just £1million, or did you want more than just a starter home/studio flatlet?

    You'll be trying to buy curtains next.... my advice is: don't, they're the devil's work. Try to negotiate all curtains to remain in the place you're buying :)

    Well, I didn't die.
    And I didn't earn much and I did it 26 times! :p:D

    Besides, water is very drown-inable. :eek:

    Haha no just a 1 bed starter, I have to save up for the curtains!

    Now my mind is going into overdrive! :D

    What might Pastures be thinking of doing that is complex? :D


    Base jumping?
    Jet-skiing?
    Wind-surfing?
    Boxing?
    Rock climbing?
    Poetry reading?
    Pipe polishing?
    Having met PN in the flesh I certainly didn't notice any lack of small talk or interesting conversation and if she was looking for anyone to practice her pipe polishing on I would be at the front of the queue.

    I choose the gf on the basis that she had already had extensions.....
    I think....
