Rich and I had long harboured an ambition to enter the famous ‘cheese rolling’ event that happens yearly on Coopers Hill near Brockworth in Gloucestershire. It wasn’t for the faint hearted, and now I’ve satisfied the craving I’m certainly not intending to do it again in a hurry! You can read Rich’s memoirs for the BBC Nottingham website by clicking here.

Derren Brown will have you believe that only four people in the world can do this, indeed, in a recent stage show he appeared to need to practically suffocate himself before completing the act. As you can see, it’s not quite such a big deal as that (not that I don’t like Derren Brown, you understand – but he is prone to exaggeration 🙂 ).
