Cheese rolling?

Apparently the first one down after the cheese wins. Of course somebody always ruins the fun by getting hurt.



gotta love that they h ave the local rugby team tackling...er catching people.

Just when you thought that you knew a lot about the English & their odd mannerisms, along comes cheese rolling.

Yea, that competition had been going on for decades. Then the NHS (the Brits version of Obamacare) decided it was too dangerous, so they were going to cancel it. But a hard core group of cheese rollers decided that the tradition must live on!! And so it did.

Cheese Rolling refuses to die!

Once you factor in the amount of alcohol involved in these traditions, they don't seem so strange anymore...

Sounds like a euphemism for masturbation.

"Dave bought that hot girl drinks for 3 hours, until her boyfriend showed up. I think he went home to roll the cheese"
