So how would you want to relax at the end of a gruelling Prem season? Time off with your feet up? Me too.
The following from the BBC news site:
A team including West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has embarked on a non-stop six-day row from the Tower of London to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The crew of 24 is raising money for the Donna Louise Trust, a hospice in Stoke-On-Trent.
Other oarsmen include actor and comedian Hugh Dennis and TV presenter Nick Hancock.
It will take about 15 hours to row down the Thames and out into the Wash, before attempting the channel crossing.
The 450 nautical mile challenge has been branded the "Everest of open-water rowing", and fewer than 100 people have completed the route.
The two Cornish Gigs are expected to arrive in Paris on Monday 1 June.
I may disagree with him about the optimum number of centrebacks in a team and how to approach a match at Newcastle, but what a top bloke.
(But just make sure you don't rely on the BBC for directions, if they think the Wash is at the end of the Thames)
