Extreme Ironing

It's easy

Do they have an independant panel to judge whether the garment has been ironed sufficiently??? Or is it a quick sweep over the cuffs and down you go???

And how long an extension cord must they use to get all the way up a mountain?!?!?!

Have a word with them please. Just found out why and how!

I am curious as to what the rules are. Do they have a time limit, you know iron 10 shirts in 3 mins or something.

It's hard to understand Duff cos I could think of nothing worse than being up a mountain and no pies! Just plain scares me!

Judge chrono that iron, I'm sure he's running hot!!


(OK, I apologise, that was bad)

Seriously tho, do they have pre-creased shirts, or can you take your own up the hill?

The problem with things like this, is that there is one focal point, and everyone understands ironing, and knows what it is.

(yeah, I know all that's been said beforem but hey, who cares ).

Maybe if we all start calling extreme ironers "housewife/househusband wanabees", we can ruin them the way people calling paintballers "rambo wanabees" are trying to with paintball.

Either that or start calling tourney ball "eXtreme paintball".

It's really down to what the production companies can persuade the commissioning editors to buy. Production company comes up with an idea, pitches it to commissioning department, gets go-ahead to take it further, develops idea for the Channel then the Commissioning editor decides when/if we're going to broadcast it. So to start with, you need a nice friendly independant production company..........

They don't talk to plebs like me, I work in the IS department so I'm beneath them In their view, only the "creatives" at the Channel can have good ideas!

I still dont get it, is it like a contest for maids and houswives?

It's just nutters who go out and do "other" extreme/dangerous activities whilst ironing - such as climbing mountains, white-water rafting, telling their girlfriends they have fat ar5es... etc...
