The World Gurning Championships.
This eccentric English event is held every year as part of the Egremont Crab Fair in the Lake District. The tradition dates back to the year 1266. Competitors pull ugly faces through a horse’s collar and quite simply the ugliest face wins. This year a TV presenter, Michaela Strachan was sent to report on the event by the BBC and ended up winning her event. See the picture, it may be that the photographs come back to haunt her in years to come on some TV bloopers program.

The Brambles Cricket MatchThe Brambles Sandbank is a spit of land that lies between Southampton and the Isle of Wight on the south coast of England that is only uncovered by the sea once a year when the seasonal tide matches the normal tide along with the right sea currents. The sandbank is exposed for about an hour and in this time, the members of the Royal Southern Yacht Club and the Island Sailing Club race out to it in small boats to conduct their annual cricket match. It’s quite competitive with the spectators and crowds standing on the pitch and lots of cheating goes on. Someone keeps score and lots of beer is despatched in the short 60 minutes. The way to score a 6 is to hit the ball off the sand and into the water and as the tide comes in and the sand is once again swallowed into the sea, the easier it is to score a 6.
