No pics yet, but today is the lowest tide in the Solent this year.  So as per normal, there will be a cricket match in the middle of the shipping lanes….

[Giles]

Mad dogs and Englishmen…

So we went to see the annual Bramble Bank cricket match.  It is played at dead "low" water on one of the biggest tides of the year, about 4 miles from land...

Ian starting engine on our trusty steed...

Some boats could not get close enough to the Bank under their own power.  This was the solution…

Then the cricket commenced….

So one of most idiotic ideas this summer was playing a card game and whoever loses would have to attempt a food challenge of the winners choosing. The challenge http://smoke-eaters.com/about/hellfire-challenge/

The Rules as well as pictures of people who conquered the challenge.

This lucky fellow with the lucky number 13.

The challenge. We quickly veered off as the aroma itself made it difficult to inhale..

It has begun.

6 wings later he quits. Tears of joy or pain? You decide.

We then walked down the block to PsychoDonuts as the winners enjoyed their donuts. And the loser chugged 4 bottles of milk.

Edit: link to the challenge is fixed

[Giles]

I want to join in….

[rocket]

pretty sure the winners had a good day

Oddly, I've been doing some research on food challenges in NYC 

[J-IV]

He actually wants to do it again. So when he does (around October, I hope), I'll stash some of the sauce and send on over to NewYork for you forum heads who want to warm yourselves up.
