Inline skates
Years ago, I was bored and needed something new to do. I know! Go to Manchester, buy a pair of inline skates (having to go avoid lots of little brats) and skate around everywhere for fitness!

Used them a few times, on the local street, stuck them in a drawer.

Moved house near the countryside. I would therefore practice using my skates to skate around everywhere, up and down the hills and at some point be hardcore and skate around Norway!

Skating on flat smooth concrete/tarmac is quite easy and good fun. Skating on uneven roads with with crappy tarmac appears not to be possible. Braking on anything other than smooth tarmac is also tricky

It may be that either my skates or my technique is crap, but I reckon they're just not very good on a crappy country road.

Mountain biking and kayaking are a bit easier to handle. I should probably get rid of the skates as the chance of using them is pretty low.

what's the worst thing about being a rollerblader?
telling your parents you are gay

vaguely guilty as charged
I'm bi. Then again, I'm really rather keen on breasts, so that swings my attraction towards women somewhat.

my joke kind of back-fired there somewhat.

Ha!
Glad you got there first. I was going to make the same comment. Then it would have been my joke that backfired.

I was rushing to make the same joke!
Damn those bisexuals! Always beating us to the punchline. Or the girl. Or the boy.

If only that was true
says this nice bi bloke looking for a nice woman who likes me and isn't immature enough to be hung up on the bi thing..
