Yesterday I met Becky in London and we went to the V&A - it was ace - especially the shoes, less so the sweaty Circle Line.
Alt question - I've recently been given an iPod touch, what apps are the BEST EVAR?

surfing is the greatest thing. I can't describe how awesome it feels.
it's hard work, but easier than it looks to pick up the basics. I suspect you'd probably take to it quite well.

I'm not a terribly strong swimmer - despite the massive shoulders. I can only do about 600m without getting bored - and even then I'm pushing it on the boredom threshold. Although that is in a pool...and I did go gorge walking a few weeks back and loved it - even the bits where we had to jump in from a great height - huge adrenaline buzz.

it uses the arm muscles a bit more because you are a bit elevated from the waters surface.
the paddling is a bit of a bugger but it is interspersed with experiences of exhilaration and pleasure. well worth it.
I've never done any other activity that gives you such a full body workout either.

Cycling along side by side, dukin' it out. It'll be quite tactical, do you keep a full guard, meaning you don't have a hand on the handlebar? Do you look where you're going, or at your opponent? Swinging hard would surely send them sprawling, but if you miss, you risk throwing your balance off.
