Re: Thrill Seeker
I used to be up for anything at all, right up till my knees stopped me. These days the most exciting thing I do is going full gallop along Dunnet Beach on one of the Clyde's, it's always breath taking seeing the beach flash past under those huge hoofs. And I get the feeling that if my Consultant at the hospital knew about it he'd make me stop that as well.

Re: Thrill Seeker
Rhian, I could have written the same post. I know exactly how you feel! For all the thrill-seeking type things that come my way, it's still the simple pleasures I enjoy most. What many people call thrill-seeking (like surfing, I suppose), is more challenging than thrilling. It takes a lot of skill, practice, and easing into it before getting to the feel of it being thrilling.Swimfeeders, I saw the footage of that hover board today and would absolutely give it a go, though I think I would want to try it over water to ensure a softer landing the first few times. (Why was he carrying a gun, btw? Talk about risky
).

Re: Thrill Seeker
Not so keen on dangerous thrills but I've fished for piranhas in the Amazon and I swam down the Martha Bray river behind a bamboo raft in Jamaca..stuff like that but I'm not keen on speed or if I feel in danger....love swimming in the sea but not if it's freezing cold

The Gun was a Macho Thing, a Political Statement.
It was not a real gun.
They do try and impress the gullible.
Real Life is very different.

.Since we are talking about thrills, there's no thrill in shooting (or pretending to shoot) someone or something that isn't equally armed, is there!

Re: Thrill Seeker
I wouldn't class myself as a thrill seeker. heights worry me for a start although I have flown a light aircraft. Have also driven a formula 2 race car on one of those red letter day things (I do love speed) Swam with dolphins and manitees.... not sure of that is thrilling or not; and have swam in the Thames in London.As for intimacy, there's nothing more thrilling than the first contact.
