UK: Gloucester cheese chasers go crackers for Rolling Festival
More than three thousand people from across the world came to Gloucestershire on Monday to race down Cooper's Hill after what were traditionally 7lb wheels of Double Gloucester cheese in the annual Cheese Rolling Festival. The unofficial event originated in the fifteenth century. Sadly, on this occasion the cheese rolls were replaced with foam discs.
The races occurred just days after master cheesemaker Diana Smart was warned by authorities that she could be held liable for any injuries suffered in the event involving her cheese. She has supplied the cheese for the races since 1988. Each year a number of people usually suffer mild injuries like sprained ankles or concussions since the hill is steep and uneven, but at the bottom of the hill first aid is offered by the local St John Ambulance, manned by a volunteer rescue group.
Participants did not need to register in advance to chase the cheese, they could simply show up, go to the top of the hill, and when the fake-cheese roll was released, run madly after it down the hill. The first person to cross the finish line after the cheese wins, although the participants are theoretically aiming to catch the cheese.
This goal can prove difficult, due to the cheese's one second head start and tendency to reach up to 70 mph (112 km/h) en route to the bottom. Since participants were chasing foam this year, it changed how fast the cheese went down the hill. The winner is expected to carry the cheese back up to the top of the hill during a shirtless victory ascent meant to symbolise man's role in the creation, release, pursuit and recapturing of dairy products.
Thanks to a few days of heavy rain, the ground was softened and former champion Chris Anderson was absent this year, the American Kenny Rackers proved victorious in the first race. Traditionally, only residents of the village of Brockworth could compete, but now it has become international. It was originally held on Whit Monday before being moved to Spring Bank Holiday, a holiday in England.
Participants headed to the nearby pub The Cheese Rollers for refreshments after the races.

This sport involves food. That's awesome. Can you believe that the tradition of cheese rolling is over 200 years old? Competitors are expected to race down a hill after the cheese, and the first one who reaches the bottom wins the cheese. Definitely invented by a cheesy guy.
World Stilton Cheese Rolling Championships
Stilton in Cambridgeshire, England is a large village for 364 days a year.
But once a year, on May Day, the main street becomes a hive of activity with an event that celebrates the cheese synonymous with its name.
The village gave its name to one of the world’s best-known cheeses, although whether the cheese was originally made or just sold in Stilton is still the subject of much debate!
The Stilton Cheese rolling’s origins are hazy to say the least, but the frolics of today seem to have been in response to an attempt to revive the trade of the village as its fortunes declined after it was by-passed with a major “A” road back in 1958. This caused local traders hardship and an enterprising landlord came up with the idea of the cheese rolling competition.
The Championships are a knockout competition with heats, quarters, semis and of course a final. Teams are made up of four competitors and they have to roll and guide a large rounded block of wood, fashioned to look like a Stilton Cheese, instead of the real thing. Each team wears gloves to protect their hands against the tarmac and splinters from the wooden cheese.
At the start of each race, each team member must be touching the cheese. They race with the cheese to the far end of the course, guiding it to ensure it does not go off course and the team whose cheese knocks the wooden barrier first is deemed the winner. Of course the wooden cheese is slightly cambered ensuring it doesn’t roll accurately, so the skill is to ensure the cheese is kept on track by good teamwork and a lot of luck. There is also some risk the cheese can suddenly change direction, wrong footing or tripping the runners as they progress down the course. There are few rules but throwing or kicking the cheese is not permissible.
In the Men’s event is was defending champions ‘The Talbot Royal Rollers’ who saw off a strong challenge from ‘the Stilton Sombreros’ in their final.
In the women’s event the opposition was overwhelmed by the consistency of ‘Anna’s Girls’ who have won the women’s title on many occasions.

Cheese Rolling 2009 at Cooper's Hill, Gloucestershire.
The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Cheltenham and Gloucester in the Cotswolds region of England. It is traditionally by and for the people of Brockworth - the local village, but now people from over the world take part. The event takes its name from the hill on which it occurs. From the top of the hill a round of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled, and competitors race down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. In theory, competitors are aiming to catch the cheese, but since it has a one second head start and can reach speeds up to 70mph (112 km/h, enough to knock over and injure a spectator, this rarely occurs. Accurate information is hard to come by, but the tradition is at least 200 years old. Suggestions have been made that the event may either date back to Roman times or have been a pagan healing ritual, but there is no evidence for this. The Cheese Rollers is also the name of the nearby pub in Shurdington, about 3 miles from Cooper's Hill, but the nearest are The Cross Hands and The Victoria (both of which are in Brockworth). Competitors will frequent these venues for some pre-event Dutch courage or discussion of tactics, and after the event for some convalescence. Cooper's Hill is also known as a stop on the Cotswold Way. The latest event started at midday on 25 May 2009. Each year the event becomes more and more popular with contestants coming from all across the world to compete or even simply to spectate.

Celebrating 4/20 with London's Weed Fanatics
Watch the first episode of SMOKEABLES: How to Make a Gravity Bong -
All across the world, governments are rethinking their attitudes towards the criminalisation of cannabis. Yet in Britain, fusty politicians terrified by that video of Jon Snow losing his mind on super-skunk are refusing to free the weed, uncurb the herb or liberate the oregano dream pipe.
We went along to Hyde Park to join London's most ardent weed advocates for the annual 4/20 celebrations, which this year doubled as a protest rally for those who want cannabis to be legalised.
We caught up with Big Narstie, watched the police make an array of arrests, talked to some of the activist-stoners and found out why you should always smoke through an Eric Cartman bong.

2007 Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels.
In a tradition dating from the 17th Century, the people of the Devon village of Ottery St Mary have been running....blah blah blah...i couldn't be arsed writing it myself so i'll just copy and paste...thanks EarlofWarwick!!
Every year on November 5th since time began, well at least since the 17th Century, this quaint little town nestled in the heart of the Devonshire countryside comes alive with the smell of blazing tar and roar of the crowds as seemingly demented men women and children tear through the packed streets carrying blazing barrels on their backs.
It is the famous Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels.
Thought to have originated in the 17th Century, this tradition involves wooden barrels soaked in tar which are set ablaze, hoisted aloft and carried through the packed streets and alleys of Ottery St Mary on the shoulders of the privileged few elite Barrel rollers.
Every pub in the town sponsors a barrel making a total of 17 tar barrels, ranging from children's, through ladies to the men's tar barrels weighing anything up to 30 kilos. Each one is lit in turn outside its sponsoring pub. Starting late afternoon with Children's tar barrels and the grand finale culminating in the square at midnight with the last men's tar barrel.
No one is really sure why they do it but the most popular opinion suggests a pagan ritual to rid the town of evil spirits using cleansing flame and the camaraderie of the townsfolk.
Whatever the reason it is a truly spectacular event, and combined with an enormous bonfire on one side of the river and the annual funfair like a neon reflection on the other makes it a really remarkable occasion, one of the last remaining traditions which should be cherished and saved from the insanity of the powers that be. END QUOTE.
HEY!!! IT'S ME AGAIN!! Seriously, this is an insane night of fun! Drinking beer (this is England so you can take your own and drink in public), dodging burning tar barrels, chilling by a huge bonfire or enjoying rides at the fun fair, remembering remembering the 5th of Novembering for gunpowder and treason and plot, i can think of no reason why the 5th of November should ever be forgot!!!
Anyway, If you're ever in South West England in early november, do yourself a big favour and get along to ottery st Mary for the evening of the 5th.
