There's a sportsperson in all of us, and I think I have found my sport

The "sport" of extreme eating is coming to the UK - with competitors set to battle it out to see who can devour the most mince pies.

Now there is a sport I can really get my teeth intoD

Speed eating is a major phenomenon in the USA, with some of the bigger events televised on sports channels and winners earning thousands of dollars in prize money.

Whole channels? Perhaps Sky could have an 'extreme eating channel'

One of the biggest names in the sport, Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas is set to compete for the £1,000 prize at the mince pie eating competition, which will be held at Wookey Hole Caves in Somerset.

The problem is though, some of those cave entrances are quite small. You might get in, but may not be able to get out again

But Dr Colin Waine, chair of the National Obesity Forum, said the event gives out the wrong message. He said: "It's glorifying gluttony. It's not going to do anybody the slightest bit of good. It gives eating the wrong sort of publicity and sends the wrong message to impressionable people.

But I don't want to eat the wrong sort of publicity, I want to eat mince piesD

I wonder if I can get sponsored? Or if there are special gyms you can go to to train

When I was coming home tonight I spotted a car with the following number-plate...

What you may not be able to see is the first three characters. The whole number-plate reads B16 GAY.
WEll there is a number plate to be proud ofD

I showed my OH the picture ans she says that she often sees the car outside of a school when the parents are dropping off the kids.
I wonder of the kid is embarrassed at being dropped off from a car with BIG GAY as a number plateD
