    Default More world class eccentricity

    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

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...0-2332518.html

    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/g...ogsnorkelling/

    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?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    They appear daily in newspapers. Especially local ones.
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.
