suggest me a new sport

[Night Train]

The two things that came to mind were:

Distance swimming.
Speed chess.

I also figured on cycling but didn't think anyone here would be interested in that.

One just can't beat a good game of Wiff Waff

 

[Hover Fly]

The South American version of clay pigeon shooting.



Clay parrot shooting.

Roller skiing is hugely popular here: http://www.rollerski.co.uk/events2.html?gclid=CJ_NmffUwKsCFQTwzAodhXTCsQ

Welcome back, bonj!

Nah! Who'd wanna do that!

How about one of the multi-discipline ones, like pentathlon? Altogether it must fit the criteria, even if some of the individual elements don't...

 

[vernon]

what, guns or bow and arrows?

Self.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Speed masturbation... or is that not competitive enough?

Recommend Bonj a new sport? Winding people up on internet forums lost it's appeal then?

Now about the grand and noble old sport of Tiddlywinks, or even, Extreme Ironing??

Parkour?

More seriously I'd suggest looking at what's available at your locl sports centre. I'm thinking about joining some touch rugby sessions at my local centre.

Chess is pretty good on most of those scores, although it doesn't really help with weight and is often played in pubs (although in a function room rather than the main bar)

Parkour?

Mornington Crescent of course!!

You mean there is a difference?? all they seem to DO is touch each other!

 

[GTTTM]

I've got it!


Planking - that surely must be recognised as a sport by now no?


And you can make it fit all of your ridiculous important criteria

I haven't played rugby since a Cumbrian farmer tried to break my neck in a scrum. I figure this might not be quite as dangerous

No, not tiddlywinks, pedallywinks! You know that ping when you accidentally squeeze a bit of loose road chipping into the side of a car alongside, pedallywinks would be played in public car parks, with golf balls, and with points awarded for setting off burglar alarms, cracking windscreens, etc. Bonus points for front wheel pings (offs count like refusals in horse jumping). Top score would be when you manage to ping a black Golf (because in my neck of the woods, they're far too often the ones blithely trying to ping me off the road).

I'm assuming, of course, that the OP already has a bike. The only expense would be buying a few golf balls. (Unseasoned conkers are too soft.)

There's also a polo version of this game but it's not as satisfying as ''Audi0,'' where you get off 0 by pinging Audis.

Roller disco? It might lead to drug use though....
