Not a sportsman nor a gentleman as the old FA rules used to stipulate.DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-73660530766976707442013-12-30T23:52:01.738+00:002013-12-30T23:52:01.738+00:00Steve Irwin- spent his life treating crocodiles li...Steve Irwin- spent his life treating crocodiles like guinea pigs, and then got killed by a ray.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263275229285861236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-74449160170787345322013-12-30T20:46:17.333+00:002013-12-30T20:46:17.333+00:00Mark,

I mean would I let someone punch my stomach ? my arse I would ...ach erm, when I say my arse.... I don't mean they can punch my arse instead.... now that could be more than extremely dangerous....<br /><br />But on balance, yes, skiing could be considered as dangerous as driving a F1 car at 180mph with only a fart between you and the car in front I agree, but I don't ski not because I consider it dangerous, simply I don't ski because I am shite at it and as for driving at 180mph..... 145mph is the fastest I got to before bailing out.... and there were no cars in my line of sight...<br /><br />If I could ski, I would.... If I could fly a plane, I would; I can abseil but would I ?.... not on your nelly....I consider it too dangerous... you see it's all relative...<br /><br />So I will add to the list, Colin McRae and before you say it.... I know people [including the air accident bureau] say the way he was arsing about in the helicopter was dangerous....ageing manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913665856316754730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-23408834985237722292013-12-30T17:50:00.220+00:002013-12-30T17:50:00.220+00:00AM - Hill was doing something extremely dangerous ...AM - Hill was doing something extremely dangerous when he crashed his aircraft on Arkley Golf Course - flying in bad weather.
