What happens at Cooper's Hill, Gloucester every Spring Bank Holiday?

What? You really have no idea? Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling Contest of course!

They release a cheese rolling down the hill followed by competitors, also rolling down the hill due to the uneven surface ...and perhaps their velocity.

It's actually cheese they throw down the slope.
"During the rationing period of 1941-1954 a wooden substitute was used, this
had a small niche that contained a token piece of cheese."


How to enter

WHY? The first to arrive at the foot of the hill wins the cheese, second wins £5, third £3. Might wanna think it through, or then again, if you're not for the cheese or the money, plain madness will do.

"Forfit the game, 'cause tomorrow when its all done, you reep what you sew."

There will come a day when your judgement fails you.
My day of failure just came upon.

I had been curious of this one newsflash from Iraq. A certain decaputation of an American citizen (didn't take any effort to find a copy). I thought it can't be that sickening since many 've seen it. Well.. at first it bored me and then... dunno. At the same time I'm feeling sad and to some extent pleased. Weird, I know.

Can't imagine whether it'll ever come out as truthful video clip or not. Guess it doesn't matter with propaganda. All it needs is a good emotional igniter. Through history there've been fakes. It doesn't take much and you've got masses filled with wrath. Lynching mobs and everything. Afterwards, though proven fake, damage has been accomplished.

Shark attach!

You swim 300m ashore, walk to the car, drive to the nearby surf club,
only to learn that THE SHARK IS STILL ATTACHED TO YOUR LEG!!!

What do you think went through the brain of this particular shark?
Did he get his jaws stuck?

Sometimes you just notice Bloody Ugly Cars

It's a matter of opinion but I've often found myself wondering how someone can own a car so bloody ugly?

If there are individuals somewhere who share my idea, maybe we could start a movement of marking those unapproved-looking cars with this paper note:



I know... No one wants to ruin a complete stranger's day by posting a note on the windscreen.
I'm sure eventually there'll be a day when you just feel like doing something evil after you've noticed a bloody ugly car while walking across the parking lot.

Here you have few examples of bloody ugly cars.

Which Sex Are You?

Oh my goodness! I found myself!

©Guess-A-Printer -day

I believe that it would be interesting to carry out my idea of switching the office printer settings every Monday morning. The very first thing in the morning, the IT-department run a script especially coded to this purpose. I'm pretty sure on Mondays we get the best results.

The IT-guys (or girls) need to be at the office (it is also acceptable to run the script remote, as long as it works) before the employees -who are extremely tired from the weekend- limp to their cubicles and begin to search for their coffee mugs.

The printer settings have got to be changed before the first work-a-holics start printing sales reports and other delicate or top secret documents. Thus we get the whole staff is activated right from the first weekday by having the people running after their documents around the office building.

You get extra points if there are no elevators AND the printers are located in more than one floor. The employer will be satisfied as employees shape up and feel great. There's no need to invest in expensive gym cards or fysiotherapy.

Does an ant have a nose?

We were discussing salt and ants once (interesting topic, I know you're thinking). One of us said that cinnamon would have better result in extraditing the ants than salt. Then someone claimed that pepper worked even better. We were left wondering how is it that pepper works better... Then someone said laughing "Maybe the ants have noses" and we all laughed.

Well... how is it that pepper is claimed to work better?!?
Do they have noses?
