Harder than ice skating and ice skating is hard

I only ever went ice skating once and I was OK at it

I’ve been a few times and am dreadful but can move a bit. Nearly died the only time I went on rollerblades

I bought my wife some a year ago. I’m guessing I started the trend.

#26

No, your wife did.

There’s loads of people roller-skating at Victoria Park these days, but I never see anyone roller-skating in any other parks I go to. Pretty weird, eh?

Victoria Park is where I saw all of these roller skaters

I had a mate at school who was completely obsessed with roller-blading. From what I’ve seen on Facebook he’s got back into it recently. Goes out at night with a rollerblading gang. It looks a lot of fun actually

I went with school and hated it. A kid from our school ran over another kids hand and he had to go to hospital :frowning:

Was it at the Gillingham ice rink?

#33

No, this was up North. Must just be a common accident with school kids at ice-rinks

I did some temp work there after I graduated, where my job was to mind the reception of a building that had no visitors, and occasional deliveries. They’d taken away the internet on the reception computer because the guy before me got caught looking at porn at work. So I read a lot of books and played solitaire.

I ploughed my way through this over-hyped doorstop of a novel while I was there. It was soooo bad, but I kept reading it because I didn’t have much better to do.

It predates this forum, so maybe 4-5 years ago?

I blame the TV show Sharp Objects for this

#38

I ain’t seen that show

#39

You can’t because marckee’s post on the old forum predates that.
