The elites still have beautiful days in front of them.
The world's largest apple peel was created by Kathy Wafler Madison on October 16, 1976, in Rochester, NY. It was 172 feet, 4 inches long.

if you think this is a ridiculous sport, you probably haven't heard of ferret legging.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrott?
It's a UK thing. You put an angry ferret into your trousers and compete in how long can you hold it in there.
I think the current record is something over five hours.
Yeah. I know. Let's not talk about it. Just google it if you're interested.

Dude...that's just animal cruelty.
You'd be surprised how many British "traditional" sports have animal cruelty embedded in their rules

Still seems less weird than the competitive vaping.
I don't think you can really apply a scale on weirdness.
Personally I think football is weird. I'd rather watch someone blowing bubbles.

Well, at least the ferret thing has cultural analogues in bull-fighting, gator/croc wrestling etc.
I realize you guys don't have many dangerous animals, so seems natural to use whatever you do have, and increase the danger accordingly.
Very true. As far as dangerous animals go, the islands suck. There might be a badger in Cornwall. But nobody's seen him for a while. Other than that... well.

Lol, "A Badger in Cornwall..." has a nice ring to it.
That reminds me, I saw something about these "Highland Tigers" on Netflix.
They didn't seem too threatening...
Well, we do have wild boar here in the Forest of Dean. Not sure you could fit one in your trousers though.
Talking of cruelty to animals; Happy to report that no cheese was injured in the making of this video.

Gloucestershire participants however, may have suffered some cuts and bruises! And a couple of knockouts.
There are definitely techniques, though I'm not sure if they count as skills exactly.

You mean that american sport where they carry an egg with their hands and call it football?

No, I mean our original football. Handegg is fine. At least it's fun to watch.

If you go the lower hide of the nature reserve nearest the steam railway at dawn or dusk loads of them go for a drink at the pool.
