Tiddlywinks is a Victorian parlour game involving flipping coloured counters into a container – it has more complex rules than you might imagine and a plethora of terminology. Winks are the counters, the disc used to flip them is called a squidger….and that’s just for starters.

Ah, the World Conker Championships—what a beautiful tradition of smashing chestnuts, a sport that truly embodies the British spirit. But alas, even in this noble pursuit, a scandal has erupted! Picture this: the men’s winner, one David Jakins—known to the world as “King Conker”—is accused of foul play after his glorious victory in Southwick, Northamptonshire.

A bloke in Chichester – fed up with the crushing boredom of his local town – has decided to take matters into his own hands. And how, you ask? By erecting spoof signs. Brilliant, isn't it? These aren't your run-of-the-mill road signs, no. They're mocking the sheer absurdity of Chichester’s fun police, or rather, the total absence of fun.

This mysterious maverick calls himself the Chichester Anti-Recreation Partnership – Carp for short. And Carp isn’t just out to give us all a chuckle. No, there’s a point to his mischief. He’s had enough of the endless 'no this, no that' signs plastered everywhere, suffocating the town’s soul. You can barely sneeze without a warning.

Since August, this anonymous hero has reportedly put up 35 of these satirical gems, documenting his rebellious handiwork on social media for the world to enjoy. It's just the sort of mischief every dull, overregulated town needs.

No high-tech gear, no performance-enhancing conkers – the organisers make sure everyone gets the same nut, so no one’s sneaking in a secret hardening recipe passed down from their gran.

40 teams of four lunatics, all mad enough to compete in this 2-hour pedal-powered endurance race. But wait, there’s more – each team also had a pit crew member, whose job it was to hover around and provide much-needed support during pit stops. These were teams of men, women, and mixed groups, all jostling for one thing – bragging rights. It wasn’t just a race; it was a battle for ultimate glory.

Every year, the charming little hamlet of Motts Hill, tucked away near Groombridge in East Sussex, hosts its annual scarecrow festival. Now, the locals there aren't content with your average, boring scarecrows. Oh no, they like to take things up a notch.

This year, they've decided to have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the County Council, giving them a jab for failing to fix the potholes.

Well, here we are at the ultimate showdown of monstrous marrows, titanic turnips, and cabbages that could easily double as a small car. Welcome to the UK National Giant Vegetables Championship, where vegetables aren’t just grown – they’re engineered to ludicrous proportions. Forget your garden variety carrot; these things are so big, they could probably qualify as farm machinery.
