cheese anyone?


I find most sports rather boring and pointless, i do like to watch the occasional football match but if I’m honest it’s not that entertaining and it’s just a bunch of overpaid tossers chasing a pig’s bladder. F1 has been boring for years, now that everyone got safety conscious and started to add countless rules and regulations. Rugby is starting to go down the same line as football. Cricket, i just don’t get and if everyone else was truly honest they would admit they don’t get it ether. Tennis we are just plain shit at. Snooker zzzzzzzzzzzzz. The result of this has seen alot of people following alternative sports, sports that were not so popular and ignored. The x games has become massive over the past few years and now it looks like the same is happening to Cheese Rolling, this annual event is held in Gloucester (makes sense) and the aim is to run down the treacherous 1:2 gradient hillside in pursuit of bouncing 7lb Double Gloucester cheeses, obviously. Like most man sports injuries are a certainty and I’m sure you get to keep your prize if you catch it, not like these sports where you have pass the trophy each year. But its new popularity has been its downfall... as the venue can’t cope with the crowds and now the event has been cancelled due to elf n safety.

If the crappy sports got their act together then people may start watching them again and the cheese rolling maybe resumed.

I would be lousy at this...my cheese wouldn't roll very well as I'd probably have eaten half of it already at the start line!
