Beat Boredom

Ever been totally and utterly bored? I have decided to dedicate all of my spare time to eliminating boredom from my life. Call it a quest if you like to provide the world with a guide of things that are guaranteed to cure that depressing feeling of encroaching boredom. I will try all sorts of weird and wonderful activities to bring you the low-down of how much it bashes the boredom meter. I will buy gadgets, drive cars, fly planes and travel the world to bring you the unbiased verdict of whether they manage to relieve the tedium from modern day life. If you can’t be arsed to try it for yourself, or your budget prevents it, hopefully reading about my exploits as intrepid boredom buster may give you a few laughs along the way. We will also be taking suggestions to review things that you have thought about trying but have never got around too. This web-site will be funded by my salary and savings so a fair amount of blagging will be required to fund my exploits. There is also an online store on the site whose soul purpose is to fund more and more research into entertainment. Other than that there is no great moral purpose, no promise of a cure for disease or world peace, just one mans mission to try it all before he dies. Now at this stage I would imagine the words mid-life and crisis may have sprung to mind and yes you would probably be right. I am 34 years old. I have a fairly good job and I have even bought the classic giveaway of all mid-life crisis sufferers, a convertible sports car. But regardless as whether we are alike I can promise you one thing, you will be bored and you will find a cure here.

Before we start one thing worth noting is I have absolutely no expertise in this area at all. I have never done extreme ironing; bungee jumped, jumped out of a perfectly good plane or wrestled a crocodile. The one time I tried something even remotely extreme, kite boarding, I broke my shoulder after about 10 minutes so you may find that this web site becomes a diary of injury and catastrophe but I will be getting other contributors along the way and remember. There is nothing more funny than someone else hurting themselves for your amusement. One final note for those that passed their English GCSE I also have no sense of grammar at all so if this site has randomly placed comma’s and lots of typo's blame secondary education in the 80's and my complete lack of interest.
