I dig the idea of those old-fashioned gentlemanly sports (like horse riding, fencing, others?) and would like to take one up..who of you practices any of them and what can you tell me about their advantages? Especially fencing sounds interesting to me.
Aristocratic sports and pasttime activities

In certain circles (rings), boxing fits into the "aristocratic" category. "I used to box for the army..." etc. Other games you might like to look into are: Hunting (horse and hounds) Real Tennis Raquets Eton Fives Harrow Football The Wall Game Polo but theses all need funny courts, horses and/or funny balls. Finally, you could look at Archery... if you've ever dreamed of winning an Olympic Gold medal but can't run, jump or throw things about, this might be the game for you!!
