Olive
I have a little olive tree in my garden.
I don't know why I like it, but I do.
It looks a little unusual, just standing there.
A bit out of place in all the mess.
I think it's the only thing in the garden I really like.
The rest can go hang.
So horah for my little olive tree.
Perhaps I should give it a name.

hmm... but trees don't usually need names: even when little, they have enough presence without a label.
They don't come when called, either.

Did I ever tell you I really like your writings?

I don't believe so, but thank you. :)

I will restrain myself from calling it 'Bob'.

Actually no! It was a lucky first hit; and I've not been able to get close to that for ages!

Yeah but that is on a different version, where the max is about 600 odd. I have been discussing it with the Phd students and there are two versions!

So nar!

100 metre waddle
My personal best is 17 seconds (definitely a waddle there)

Toboggan run
Last time I tried this I ended up in hospital with concussion

Swimming
You're on. 800m or 1500m freestyle or 50m breast stroke OK?

Fish eating
"Fiiiish"; "Today's fish dish is cad in a mornay sauce"; "Fiiissh"; etc... (ask Grim - it's a Red Dwarf thing)

Downhill skiing...
Funnily enough I plan to partake of some of this in a few weeks : )

I could also add:
Iceberg hurdling
Diving
50km race walk (really only for King Penguins when nesting)
High jump (useful for getting out of water onto glaciers)
Surfing

I can run, but usually motivation is required, like a lunatic with a knife behind me, or vast quantities of sugar in my bloodstream, which might be taken as narcotics...

Toboggan run
Last time I tried this I ended up in hospital with concussion


But was it fun?

Swimming
You're on. 800m or 1500m freestyle or 50m breast stroke OK?


Either is good, as long as we get baywatch style lifeguards.

Fish eating
"Fiiiish"; "Today's fish dish is cad in a mornay sauce"; "Fiiissh"; etc... (ask Grim - it's a Red Dwarf thing)


I know the episode well

"I've been fished to death."

Downhill skiing...
Funnily enough I plan to partake of some of this in a few weeks : )


Cool! Never been myself!

I could also add:
Iceberg hurdling
Diving
50km race walk (really only for King Penguins when nesting)
High jump (useful for getting out of water onto glaciers)
Surfing

Also good ideas!
