UK cheese race

[Terry Smith]

I tuned in to ESPN (all sports channel) just in time to
catch a race in England where the contestants ran down
(tumbled actually) to be the first to catch a round block of
cheese hurtled down a near vertical hill. This appears to be
a quite popular event judging by the number of spectators
and contestants. 21 people were injured. One would assume
that large quantities of Guiness were involved.

They have an international rescue squad who more commonly
deal with earthquake victims to pull the silly buggers off
the side of the hill.

Great fun!
