    1.  Mud wrestling
    2.  Extreme ironing
    3.  Dwile flonking - hah! I got a pointless answer.  The first and last time I heard of this was 50 years ago.  If I remember rightly, the dwile is a cloth of standard measurements, soaked in beer, which is flung from player to player on  poles of standard length and girth.  If anyone drops or handles the dwile, they have to buy every player a pint of beer.  When they've all drunk their beer the game resumes, until everyone is legless.
    4.  I'd guess cheese rolling, the cheese being out of shot lower down the hill.
    5.  Looks like worm charming, only I didn't think the use of digging implements was allowed?  Perhaps it depends whether you're playing under Union, League or Queensbury rules.  Aussie rules probably allow a JCB.
    6.  Wife carrying.
    7.  Groundhog day
    8.  Bog snorkelling
    9.  Perhaps that Christian sect that interprets Mark 16:17 literally.
    10.  Gurning, or I believe it is sometimes, or somewheres, spelt girning.

    @pansyface , yours is obviously social distancing.  Unless it's the quickest time to grill a sausage over a candle.

    While I have an audience, can I tap into the forum’s collective wisdom for two Christmas quiz questions which have us stumped. We have done 78/80 but are flummoxed by these last two which both come in the category entitled ‘communications’. It is a fund raising effort for the village church.

    * Tricky choice for holding correspondence (5,5)
    * Be equipped to succeed online (4,4,1,1,5)

    Thanks. I contemplated dodgy files but was far from sure about it. ?? hands gives a new line of thought.

  • I have a feeling the wife carrying (no.6) is a Finnish sport... odd people, the Finns...   :)
