Not sure wiki pages need writeup

Just read them and judge how enjoyable reading them is

For solo exercise, I'll take Rowing. It's a full body workout, it's easy to do in your own home (if you invest in the equipment) and reasonably fun

Category: Solo Exercise
Pick: Extreme Ironing

This one almost seems too good to be true when you consider the category.
Look at all the different things you get to do under the umbrella of a single solo exercise. If lockdowns have taught us nothing else they've surely shown us that monotony can be excruciating and you need variety in your life.

Look at the variety on display here. Nothing else needs to be said...

For unique house, I'll take this Dallas Water Park Mansion

Aside from all the standard features, like a tennis court, bowling alley, movie theater, basketball court, nightclub, blah blah blah, it has it's own frickin' water park!

For my pick, I'm about to tell you the best TV episode ever made. It turned a good sitcom in to an all time great, and featured an absolutely incredible twist that in retrospect is obvious, but in the moment was outstanding.

This is a show that is smart, has heart, and funny as hell. It's infinitely memeable, without being cheap. It has amazing acting performances, solid writing and true hilarity - and this episode, at the end of the first season, is what elevated all of it.

I am speaking, of course, about Michael's Gambit, season 1 episode 13 of The Good Place

I realised I made a mistake, so this is on me, not Zeus.

I thought I had my location visible, but I don't.

Happy to accept this one but please, for the love of god, don't give me any more UK cities. I'm from, and live in, the UK and visited the major ones already.

No, not at all. I like London - mostly for the food!

I've just seen/been/lived in most of the major UK cities and was hoping for travel to new places.

Good point. I'll take Masterchef: the professionals

Its a clear case of professionals (duh) being forced to show their technical skills, professional flair, and creativity all at one in an environment that balances competitiveness with good natured collaboration.

Shame about Greg Wallace
