Extreme Ironing, the mildly amusing joke that turned into a meeja
monster's still out there, but this time in a good cause.
This Sunday Ironman-M and Crease Lightnin', who are both erm,
protagonists of the sport, are taking part in the London Marathon in
full ironing gear. You'll be able to spot them from the ironing
boards strapped to their backs...
The good news is that they're going to be raising money for
charity, specifically for SPARKS and Cancer Research UK. Both good
causes, if you'd like to support either of them, click here
and follow the relevant link on the page. There's another story about
the pair here
as well.
Meanwhile, in a rather frightening twist, Steam, who started the
whole thing off, tells us that he's off to the States to introduce
our Transatlantic buddies to the joys of al fresco pressing. Clearly
no-one's ever told him that the Americans don't understand irony
:-)
I'll get my newly pressed coat.
