Do you long to run at speed down a steep hill chasing after a block of cheese you’re unlikely ever to catch? Do you like the thrill of never knowing which body part you’re going to injure while doing so? Do you long to end up in hospital having achieved absolutely nothing but some very local notoriety?
If you answered Yes to all of the above then you should head to Gloucestershire for the annual cheese rolling event.
This video shows some of the highlights of the 2013 Gloucestershire cheese rolling extravaganza. And by highlights I mean people risking life and limb over a block of cheese.
I’m all for having fun but this seems a trifle stupid. People get hurt, and yet they willingly sign up to take part. More evidence that Charles Darwin was right in his theory of natural selection.
