A New Challenge

So by now you guys pretty much know the drill:


  • I have time that needs passing
  • A challenge is dreamt up or suggested
  • I do said challenge

Past challenges include wearing a shirt for a month solid, eating really hot soup right from the middle of the bowl and writing and performing in a music video.

Current challenges on the go are my beard and my walk. When I get back from my walk on the 21st of July I shall have quite a bit of free time, given that the beard challenge is a largely passive one.

So I have had a quick think and in the month of August I hope to do three new challenges:


1.       I have (and have always had) a massive aversion to bananas. So much so, I have never even got close to eating one. My parents tell me that even as a tiny baby I would over power them in order to escape its sickly smell. So this in mind I am for a week going to eat two bananas a day for a week (that is 14 bananas, just to reiterate, this takes my total bananas consumed to 14).

Disgusting.


2.       I am going to attempt to live of £5 for a week. This one will be hard. I am going to make it is close to actually living on a fiver as I can by not living in the house (I will camp in the garden), I will not consumer electricity (not lights, no TV, no microwaves) and washing my clothes, by hand in cold water. I will even go as far a taking books out from the library so that I am not making use of things that I have already paid for.

Sustenance (not literally) for a week.


3.       This last one has been greeted with some trepidation by some of those I have talked to. I (in all seriousness) will attempt to contact the dead with aid of a Ouija board. Who knows what will happen? Could be great, could be harrowing.

Dangerous?


I will go into more detail on all of these projects in the near future, for now I would like to know what you think. I am always looking for new ways to pass the time so suggestions will always be welcomed.
