Quote: AngieBaby @ November 14 2009, 6:50 PM GMTI've stayed in an 'extreme' hotel. The lifts were made to look like shark diving cages and the reception had one of those walls you can climb in case you didn't fancy taking the lift.
I spent most of my time in the bar.
wicked! Did you see anyone use the wall?
Yeah. They also had a smoking room called the 'coughing room' and the seats were actual coffins. Those adrenaline junkies have a weird sense of interior decorating.
Typical French!

'Ooh, I'm a bit hungover and have a smoker's cough this morning. You?'
'I fractured my spine snow boarding into a tree. It's a bit iffy if I'll ever walk again properly...You're not smoking are you? Those things will kill you.'
Oh to be irony free.

Why are advertisers obssessed with Extreme Sports? Snow boarding, mountain biking, bungee jumping, etc.
Most of the blokes I know like to watch football and go to the pub, whereas most of the women I know like shopping and watching soaps. But just about everything that's advertised has to include some sort of reference to chucking yourself off a mountain whilst wearing brightly coloured sun block and a stupid bobble hat.
Is this some sort of bizarre wish fulfilment imposed on us by the advertisers or does everyone on my street enjoy a 'white knuckle adrenanline ride that takes you to the max' when I'm not looking?
Come on boffins, spill your brains.
What adverts are you watching?

Or indeed a Zeffirelli!

In this case, I think I am right...
