    Thought that mega chinese table tennis was the fastest game in the world?

    He said field game, so unless mega chinese table tennis takes place on a field (in which case, wow!), then he's right I guess.* :)

    *Although there is another game faster, but I can't remember the name - and I'm not sure if it's played on a field as such.

    Pelota, a sort of cross between handball and tennis, is the fastest game in the world. Hurling - which has been described as a cross between hockey and murder :) - is the fastest field game.

    It is like a form of handball where you have a unit strapped to your arm to catch and project the ball with. It is popular in parts of Spain and France. There are different variations of it.

    ranging from "Bob's Bargain Hut" (essentially a cheap and cheerful junk shop)

    I thought it's called 'Bob's Bargain Shop' not hut? Unless they changed the name. And go easy on calling it a "junk shop"! When I was a kid I got some great ghostbuster toys there. :)

    It is largely in the Basque region alright; like I said parts of France and Spain.

    Yo Kev. Thanks for the head's up!

    I'm not really into the whole boxing thing man.

    The wrestling they have listed is a little different from folkstyle wrestling which is what i do. lol

    BJJ what is this some kind of sex class? lol

    Some irish guy in the martial arts forum offered to train with me.

    Peace,

    Todd Roberts

    I might learn Gaelic when Im over there. At least learn to use your guys slang the proper way. lol

    Umm, Gaelic is the native language of Scotland. Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced gwael-ge) is the native language of Ireland. But it is a really easy mistake to make. It confused me when I was a kid. If you want to learn a bit do it, but only a tiny percentage of the country actually speak it. The rest of us just resent having had to study it in school.

    Don't know if you'll find too many keg parties. I've never been to one, but you'll find plenty with cans, bottles, spirits, smoke and pills. ;)
