    (The 3 X's has nothing to do with the Lingerie Bowl, just wanted to highlight the extreminess of this thread, sorry frappers)


    The only thing i have done is a sky dive which was great craic but probably not enough craic to pay the ridiculous amount of money to do it again. Not a big extreme sports guy, in fact i dont even like rollercoasters, but there is only one thing i would be interesting in doing which is Zorbing, which seems a lot more fun and safer thing to do on a hill than this.



    So what crazy extreme sports have the boardies adrenaline junkies undertaken? and do you have any massive fail stories?

    How are Bungee Jumping and Sky Diving called sports? You don't have to do much.

    Is that where you iron your boxers while you're wearing them in the bath and use an iron that has its wires exposed?

    If the running of the bulls is a sport then so is La Tomatina, I was at that and I assumed I won, everyone else gave up but I stayed throwing tomatoes at people for two more days.

    Savoy Cinema.

    Upstairs, when your watching a movie in Screen 2, 3 or 4.

    Come out and if nobody's about, slide down the Gold Center Rail.

    Whips you down so fast you nearly scoot clear over the little balcony thing.

    Be careful, get caught and you're sure to die of embarrassment.

    Meh. All those sports are ones where everyone does their damnedest to make sure nobody dies.

    Aztec football. Losers get sacrificed.

    Or just join the Army.

    I'm not surprised.

    Been there twice and the place was near empty.

    Why don't you get some placards and a bucket and protest the closure?

    "Down with this sort of thing, Save the Savoy" ;)

    Swords is great if you want a whole cinema to yourself.

    Just buy a ticket to the Mezz during a weekday and there is never anyone there.

    Leather recliners too :)
