I really think this should be in the Olympics. A brave and manly sport.

Another contender for the Olympics, you'd get a medal for just being in it. :shock:

We lived in Ottery St Mary for a bit, the tar barrel run on Bonfire Night filled me with admiration. Anyone who is prepared to pick up and run with a burning barrel, past their thatched house with eaves down to about six feet from the centre of the road, whilst being assaulted by other drunks, is a man after my own heart, even if the backs of his fingers are all crispy.

Any more candidates?

There's the cheese rollers in Gloucestershire somewhere ..... :shock:
