Thehandsom(thehairy) - I found the perfect sport for you - you have to be prepared to make a couple of lifestyle changes but I am sure it will be worth it!

A brief history and explanation of Greco-Roman wrestling.

Greco-Roman wrestling is the world´s oldest-known sport.  I popped in to see a couple of bouts and found this leaflet invaluable. I attach it below to give you the same kind of insight that we top sports journalists get... it´s only fair.

Eligibility

1. Only countries that end in "an" or "a" are eligible to take part in the sport (unfortunately you may need to move to Iran or possibly India )

2. Contestants must be shorter than 5ft 5in and have full body hair (front and back).(if you are taller than this you can stoop a bit)

3. Contestants must at all times be accompanied, and regularly berated by a 300lb trainer who resembles an angry bear who has been caught trying on lady bear outfits by his best bear buddies.

4. Competing nations must organise and bring along a rowdy bunch of short, aggressive-looking spectators, preferably with some sort of shady military background. They will deal with any border infractions of the segregated seating areas.

5. Contestants must be able to ignore any abuse from hostile crowds as to how homo-erotic the whole affair is.

What do you think?  Going to give it ago???

Amazing!

Lace makers move into G-strings

The delicate underwear has attracted buyers all over the world Renowned lace makers in the Polish village of Koniakow have found a new way of boosting sales - sexy underwear. Artisans who used to create gowns and altar cloths for customers such as the late Pope now craft G-strings and other lingerie for sale all over the world. They say the underwear is quicker to make and easier to sell than traditional goods such as tablecloths. But not everyone in the deeply Catholic village is happy with the changes to the 200-year old industry. "Our lace is well known in Poland," Mieczyslaw Kamieniarz, whose family has made lace for five generations, told the French news agency AFP. "We have made it for John Paul II, for the Queen of England, for church altars. It´s shameful and humiliating for Koniakow that this very same lace is being worn on people´s backsides," he said. Traditionalists say the underwear betrays a 200-year-old craft And some craftswomen apparently had doubts about the change. "The priest told me that a woman came to confession and asked him if it was a sin to make G-strings," said Anna Barska, a 47-year-old lace maker. But now many people have embraced the new business opportunity. "Traditional lace craft was too expensive, so it wasn´t selling anymore. We weren´t making a living," said Malgorzata Sanaszek. So when her experiment with G-strings proved to be a big hit, she set up a internet underwear sales company which now employs about 60 lace makers. Buyers can choose bras, camisoles and other lingerie in dozens of delicate designs and colours. There is even a lacy thong on offer for men. "Everything is guaranteed as 100% traditional Koniakow lace," Ms Sanaszek said.
