"Cheese Rolling"

I went to the local annual Cheese Rolling event today

It was mad, people rolling down a steep hill (almost ladder like angle) running (rolling) after a ball of cheese for no real reason. Broken ankles, legs and arms were a plenty, it was maddness.

Still, we sat back and drank beer and enjoyed the sun.

What did your bank holday monday bring you?

Doesn't the winner also get some cider or wine as well, i wanted to take part in it but my doctor banned me.

Running down hills is hard. You move faster than your mind does.

And great.. I never heard of this cheese thing before. Can you imagine what the nightmares will be like now?! A huge piece of cheese with scary eyes and teeth, with tiny arms, shouting "I'M GUNNA EATCHUU! AAARRGGH!".
:'(

Yank rolling.
Could work well.

I have cousins over there.

They're drunkards, so they probably joined you on the hillside.

u rekon they will ahve like mafia fixups, and it becomes a giant super sport, with thousands of peopel watching and stuff? a bit like football...but deadlier than american football..and with giant lumps of cheese

Nah, they keep going on about banning it but it's still pretty much legal.

You get to keep the cheese (great eh?)

I thought they'd banned cheese rolling stuff.
Was this the illegal underground rolling faction?
