    Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling takes place annually on the Spring Bank holiday in lovely Gloucestershire. The rules of the game are simple, you show up, you chase cheese off a cliff, you tumble for a couple hundred yards, then you go to either the pub or the local hospital.

    This is real sport and should be included in the olympics. We could get rid of complete crap like synchronised diving and baseball and put in proper sports. And conkers!!!

    I've seen this. About as wacky as Irish road bowling!
