    Here's one - try going in to the staff room at breaktime and proclaiming loudly, "Teaching? It isn't rocket-science is it?"....

    According to the Times on Sunday one Teacher took 20+ attempts to pass their teaching numeracy test!! so they are not all rocket scientist's.
    Thanks for the suggestion but i'm thinking thats too extreme and possibly hazardous to my health.

    Re: Mountain Boarding

    Freebord

    Snowboard All Year
    Ride any hill,any time,no lift tickets,no lift lines, no offseason.

    Total Speed Control
    Freebord's outside wheels act just like the edges on your snowboard. The result: total speed control that allows you to bomb the steepest street you want.

    Slide Into Switch
    Freebord's center wheels act like the petex base on your snowboard allowing you to slide your edge and drift into switch.

    Stop
    Edge in and slide to a stop, same as you do on snow.

    Carve And Slide
    Freebord's patented truck design is the only board on the market that combines both carving and sliding [think about it: without both, its not snowboarding].

    The scary thing is that probably doesn't disqualfy them from teaching maths. Actualy I wonder if it's someone we know?

    How about camping in the middle of the hockey pitch? That could be extreme.

    Looks awesome but I want something off road as I live in the cotswolds so no shortage of decent hills, I used to skateboard and want to get away from the tarmac.

    There's always extreme Austin Maestro driving (bear with me...)


    Take a Maestro (preferably the turbo)

    Remove the engine earth connection strap (result, engine earths through throttle cable)

    Drive car with throttle jammed open due to fecked cable

    Ah ... I remember those days ... rolling around on the floor ... getting sweaty ... heavy breathing ...

    The judo was good too.
