Cheese. Hill. Idiot by Chickibo

Description

I was bored today...as you can probably tell!

Yes, this is England's mental (and unofficial) sport that is cheese rolling!
A wheel of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down a (near vertical) hill, and the whole point is to run after it! There are often injuries, (sprained ankles, smashed ribs etc) due to the insane gradient of the hill, and the winner gets the cheese!
There is an event every year in Gloucestershire (stupid name to spell...) (hence the type of cheese used!)

And Kugaa kindly gave a demonstration!

If you don't believe me (I don't blame you) here's the site!
http://www.cheese-rolling.co.uk/

And this is this years event! (thanks Kooldude!)

Lol! (Are you sure the stampede isn't fangirls?)

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 9:45:21 PM

I'd say it's a mix!

Kooldude on May 3, 2009, 5:19:35 AM

Thanks :D!

=O No way! That kid is brilliant!

Kooldude on May 28, 2009, 9:38:36 AM

Sorry, wrong link -_-;. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyQBSMeIhM

Chickibo on May 31, 2009, 6:15:47 PM

Haha, I saw it on the news! I'm sure quite a lot of people go home with smashed up bones!

Kooldude on June 1, 2009, 8:27:18 AM

I actually want to do that!

Chickibo on June 1, 2009, 11:17:52 PM

hah, then get yourself over here! We'll send you back home in a bag!

Kooldude on June 2, 2009, 6:01:05 AM

Oh, well then I won't have to worry about a round-trip plane ticket :).

aeris7dragon on May 2, 2009, 1:18:23 PM

How does Gloucester cheese taste?

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 9:44:40 PM

It's very hard, orange, and has a strong flavour! (not as strong as Stilton, that's very strong! ...and digusting too)

aeris7dragon on May 3, 2009, 1:21:07 AM

Eeeeewwwww, hard cheese. XP I prefer muenster or sheep cheese. ^^

Chickibo on May 4, 2009, 12:59:18 AM

eeew...(sorry!) I don't like soft cheese...

aeris7dragon on May 4, 2009, 11:00:14 PM

YAY for being completely opposite!! XD

Falconlobo on May 2, 2009, 12:24:22 PM

LOl cute^^

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 9:45:01 PM

hehe, thanks!

Falconlobo on May 3, 2009, 6:13:40 AM

np^

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:04:06 AM

Haha that's amazing X3 All your descriptions are making me want to go to England so bad :P

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:09:21 AM

Come over here, I command you! XD We'll hold you prisoner in the Tower of London, and you won't get home!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:12:02 AM

That sounds amazing! I'll come if I can drink tea, chase cheese down a hill, eat scones and play with he unicorns XD (all things I love/would love to do X3)

But wait... Aren't there ghosts in the Tower of London? o.o

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:14:48 AM

Apart from some venegeful (dead) kings, we have stretching racks, weapons and other torture stuff, plus ravens outside to 'protect' the tower from evil ghosts! (aparrently if the ravens leave, it means disaster will come for London)

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:16:21 AM

ooh Torture! :D That's my kind of place >:3 lol I'm such a sadist XD

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:18:29 AM

:/ You worry me now...Thank god I'm safe up here in Yorkshire (the land of sheep and hills and people who talk weird) You can't get me here!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:20:04 AM

haha Don't worry I wouldn't hurt you :P I love you too much lol X3 >:) *writes down 'Chickibo lives in Yorkshire, will invade tomorrow'*

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:22:56 AM

I shall scare you off with Yorkshire speak! And sheep!
Eee by gum lass, whatcha thinkin' of invading us fer? (lol some of us actually talk like that all the time!)

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:24:51 AM

Ahhh... my poor Canadian brain cannot understand your English-folk speak D: Maybe I won't invade.. I'll just come visit ^_^

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:27:17 AM

lol, it's Yorkshire speak! (easy to understand compared to people from Liverpool or Birmingham, you'll have a hard time with them! Even I do!)

Yes, that is how we repel invaders, we rant at them in out local dialects and fry their brains!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:29:05 AM

lol Well I can understand you just fine even in your Yorkshire-talk but I might have trouble if you start using English slang words like Yanks and such X3 (all I can think of at the moment lol)

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:33:14 AM

Apparently I have no accent whatsoever, though my mum says I talk posh (lol Queen speak!)
And though I don't use a lot of slang, my fave slang word is Geordie (someone from Newcastle, they talk funny) and we tend not to call you lot Yanks anymore, that's a bit cruel in my opinion!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:34:49 AM

lol I though Yanks was Americans? Is there a special word for Canadians or was it the same? lol

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:39:18 AM

I honestly have no idea...

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:42:13 AM

lol Canada is so left out of everything X3 Even in the anime/webcomics for Hetalia.. Everyone always forgets about Canada (even his pet polar bear!) and when they actually interact with him they always assume that he's America, because they're brothers and they look the same :/ :P

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:46:10 AM

Well, I suppose it's better than being being made fun of like the USA!

My friend came up with the idea that the Americans will die of obesity, for obvious reasons, and we'll all die of diabetes and tooth rot because English sweets are so much sweeter!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:48:55 AM

lol And... We'll probably die because Global Warming will melt our igloos and we'll have no shelter! D:

(That was hard to write since I hate the assumptions that it's always cold here X3)

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:52:36 AM

And we'll all be flooded, because we're a tiny island with no defense at all!

We're actually pretty screwed if sea levels rise too much, loads of England's coast will be underwater, and bits of cliff will fall off! Though for all I care, Blackpool (cesspool more like) can go under, I hate that place!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 6:55:33 AM

lol :P I laughed when you said 'America will die of obesity' because I'm drawing America-san right now lol X3

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 6:56:58 AM

Well, with all those burgers he eats, it won't surprise me!

Kocho on May 2, 2009, 7:03:07 AM

lol I feel exactly the same way :P Oh man.. In one of the Extra Story webcomics, England catches a cold and America tries to cure it by putting a hamburger on his head. XD It made me laugh so hard lol :P

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 9:48:06 PM

*dies laughing* That's brilliant! burgers cure all...

I saw one where it was America's birthday (naturally Independance Day), and England gives him a paper bag, and when America opens it, he gets bashed by a boxing glove on a spring!

Kocho on May 3, 2009, 12:43:16 AM

LOL! That's amazing XD I love Alfred and Arthur XD

Rubius on May 2, 2009, 7:36:44 AM

*roots to Kugaa*

GET THAT CHEESE KUGAA!!! *whispers* then share it with me.

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 9:46:02 PM

Hehe, I'm sure he will! I doubt he'd eat the lot!

Rubius on May 3, 2009, 12:02:06 AM

You never know...idiots do idiotic things. XD
We loves you Kugaa.

Dragonfire9494 on May 2, 2009, 5:57:55 AM

Hehehe...I do know this festival, it is very dangerous but also funny...XD

Chickibo on May 2, 2009, 5:59:05 AM

Yeah, I have never seen it myself, but it looks fun!
