Topic awaiting preservation: Extreme ironing (Page 1 of 1)

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Doh!
But I can't help to wonder where they plug the iron. Well, I'm not sure I really want to know

Do we have recycled material here? Or did I just discover a way of expression unknown to the Asylumnites.

Well I'm not sure about anyone else but EI has been doing the rounds for an awful long time and I've known about it for a couple of years now although it might just have stayed a silly British thing for all this time.

· Where did extreme ironing start?


It all started in the city of Leicester in the UK, in the summer of 1997. When mild mannered Steam, returned home after a long day in the knitwear factory, the last thing he wanted to do was start on a pile of ironing. The sun was shining and Phil preferred the idea of an evening out pursuing his (somewhat unsuccessful) hobby of rock climbing. Then it occurred to him to combine these activities into an extreme sport - the result: extreme ironing.

From there it was taken al over the country and when the website was launched ei was taken up all over the world.

thats excellent, i might try that too...
or maybe i can persuate my mom to join

mas: Getting your mum to do it rather takes away from it being extreme (and getting her to do it on the roof while you play games on the computer doesn't count!!).
