I'm slightly worried that we British might be losing our reputation for being just slightly cracked. Its ben a long time since Easters cheese rolling fun after all. Well, all right, I'm not really worried, but still, I give you: The World Bog Snorkelling Championships

For those in a hurry, its snorkelling, in a bog.

Auntie even offers an online bog snorkelling game for those who can't get to Wales: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/mid/fun/games/bogsnorkelling/

Ah, makes you proud, doesn't it?

Believe it or not I know Glenn. He and others used to play 'octopush' at a pool I was manager at. Small world isn't it?
