Football down and dirty at the annual Swamp Soccer World Cup

Hundreds of footie fans who didn’t make it to South Africa got down and dirty at the annual Swamp Soccer
World Cup. Strachur in Scotland hosted the filthiest game of football you are ever likely to see; welcome to
the sport of swamp soccer. Originating from the swamps of Finland, they found it to be an excellent means
of training for cross country skiing but now swamp soccer tournaments are held across the globe including
countries such as Brazil, Holland and Russia. The sport is fast becoming a worldwide phenomenon; it was
introduced to the UK for the first time four years ago when a host of international teams descended on the
small town in Scotland. This year swamp soccer hosted the alternative World cup


World Underwater Radio Broadcast Record

Amateur Radio presenter Maria Holland from BHR1287 Essex FM presented her weekly radio show from a
massive indoor tank. She smashed the current Guinness World record for broadcasting On-air, under water
for the longest live radio underwater broadcast, clocking up an impressive 4 Hours, 4 minutes and 23
seconds.

Being underwater for such a long period of time can be disorientating, so Maria was kept company by a
team of divers who competed in a variety of underwater activities, including darts and ten pin bowling,
giving the presenter something to focus on and talk about to her listeners.
World Segway Polo Championship

The tiny Caribbean island of Barbados hosted the 5th World Segway Polo Championships and local Bajan
team Flyin Fish retained their title for the second year defeating Germany.

beneath. Perfect for a Christmas pamper treat.

temperatures of -37C at the North Pole



Wayne Rooney burnt in effigy at Edenbridge Bonfire Society event
An effigy of Wayne Rooney went up in flames at the Edenbridge Bonfire Society Firework Extravaganza.
The England football striker found the wrath of the British public this year after a myriad of bad press.
Perhaps the most significant was securing a huge remuneration package, the like of which seems obscene
when many ordinary people are having their wages cut or may face losing their job. Added to this was the
somewhat farcical nature of the whole contract negotiations played out for the worlds media and of course
about his personal life.

The annual burning of a celebrity effigy by the Edenbridge Bonfire Society is really just a bit of fun and
nothing more sinister, but the choice is a symbolic gesture of a nation’s disapproval and a very visual form
of public ridicule.

Bio-Bug a UK first running on human waste

A poo-powered VW Beetle has taken to the streets in South-West England in an attempt to encourage
sustainable motoring. It’s the UK’s first car that runs on gas from sewage sludge. The only modification is
hidden from view, in the boot, which has been sacrificed to fit in two large cylinders of methane.

There is much interest in this biomethane powered car, Wessex Water, the company behind the car, have
estimated that the yearly waste from 70 average households would generate enough gas to run the car for
10,000 miles. For many households in the UK recycling is confined to sorting their rubbish, so producing
fuel from human waste really does represent the peak of green endeavour.
The World Pole Climbing Championship

Imagine running a 25 metre sprint but against gravity, going vertical and you’ll get an idea of how physically
demanding this sport really is. To be at the top of this sport speed, agility, upper and lower body strength is
required but a light weight physique is also an advantage. Added to that, technique and concentration are
all essential to make a champion as a small slip can cost valuable seconds. The view from the top of the
pole is spectacular, but you need a good head for heights. The accomplished competitor makes this sport
look easy but given the highly tuned skills required, this is very challenging indeed.



The World Championships for Lawn Mower Racing

The format of the World Championship Grand Prix is a series of sprint races where drivers accumulate
valuable points over a weekend of racing, each group of lawnmowers had 16 races. Conditions were near
perfect with the dry and somewhat dusty atmosphere. This is a real grass roots motor sport where racers
compete for pride and bragging rights!



Ready, steady blow – World Hovercraft Racing Championships

The bi-annual event, which was last held in Sweden has come to the UK for the first time in 10 years and
attracted teams from America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and France. There were 150 Hovercrafts
taking part of over the 3 day event. Competitors had to compete more with the British weather than each
other with torrential rain and high winds which eventually caused the championships to be abandoned early
on the final days racing.


Making of the Fast and Famous
In The Fast and the Famous Leno, one of the largest collectors of cars in the world, goes in search of the
Tinseltown track where McQueen once diced and which is still very much a challenging city course. The
route includes Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills which was famously used by some of the biggest
movie stars for street racing including McQueen, Dean and Coburn. With the route mapped, they needed a
car. Mercedes-Benz offered the AMG SLS, also known as the Gullwing. Here, footage courtesy of Inc
Word, we are able to bring you this behind the scenes look at the making of this film.


UK Open Base Jumping Championship
BASE jumping is the adrenaline sport of parachuting from fixed objects. It has historically been a
clandestine sport, carried out furtively by a closed set of radical enthusiasts. But it has evolved into a highly
technical, cutting-edge modern sport, no longer worthy of its reputation as the reserve of loonies. Here we
take a look at the Worlds first ‘legal’ wind turbine base jump, that was the venue for the final round of the 3
leg series of the UK Open base jumping Championships.
AC/DC legend Brian Johnson at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Brian Johnson maybe best known for his music, but the AC/DC legend has another passion, that of
motorsport. Brian Johnson is the lead singer with rock band AC/DC. His first album with the band was
called Back in Black; it is the second bestselling album of all time, and the bestselling album by any band.

A car and racing enthusiast, Brian recently enjoyed a day out at the Goodwood festival of speed, where he
drove a Brabham BT24, whilst also popping into the Rolls- Royce factory. In his spare time, Brian enjoys
racing his vintage race cars: a Royale RP-4 and a Pilbeam MP84, in vintage and historic races throughout
the US.
