Just been watching the Winter Olympics.

That Luge thing is insane.

140km/hr, laying on a tea tray, dangling feet first in an icy culvert.

Why don't they let spectators take 'pot shots' at them and make it a tiny bit more dangerous.

It is great fun Eric. If I was ever to take up a winter sport then luge would be the most likely. It is pure adrenalin!

Yeah...I know the colour of that adrenaline.

:lol:

I don't mind speed...or risky sports (done both in my time)

It's the limb vulnerability and impossible visibility.
I wouldn't be able to see where I was going with my waist line.

:lol:

Just been watching the Luge Doubles.

What the hell is that all about?

Some lightweight guy lies on a tray....then a fat guy lies on top of him.

What on earth do these light guys get out of it?

They can't see s*d all for the fat guy sat on their stomach.

Why doesn't the fat guy just have a sack of potatoes to lay on?

:lol:


Still think the Skeleton is better. At least you can better see where you are going.

o.O

There is a small trickle of blood coming from each corner of my mouth; from biting my tongue.

PS not sure the knee garter does much for the sartorial elegance.
