Though this isn't for a while yet - it has to be worth a visit and must rank quite highly in the old 'quirky events league' !! World's Biggest Liar Competition (November) in Wasdale Lake District. This extremely unusual contest held at the Bridge Inn at Santon Bridge. Contestants travel from afar to tell lies in front of judges and an enthralled audience. The event commemorates a Victorian publican who amused his customers with made-up stories. Previous winners' lies have include an account of the evolving of the Lake District through the work of giant moles and one winner who apparently went on an action-packed holiday with the Pope. Sounds great!!

Elvis Presley did make a secret visit to England about 50 years ago. I spent the whole day with him eating freshly made doughnuts at Southend. It's true. Honest

 All very fascinating, especially as I once went on a holiday with a crocodile and got eaten by a pope. It just didn't seem possible, but the special extendable jaw did the business.

Haa - you lot must think we were all born yesterday! Well in fact you are correct because we were all born yesterday. You went to sleep a couple of hours ago and everything that has happened in your life is just one big long dream. When you wake up you will look in the mirror and find that you are in fact Elvis, you didn't die, you instead became the Pope and bought yourself a pet crocodile (that unfortunately for you isn't house trained yet). Good luck with that by the way

I am currently living in the Republic of Georgia. Listen to the murderous politicians here and they seem to be permanently in practice for the competition. But the West falls for it, again and again, because it wants the gas and the oil.
My Great Uncle was one of the World's First Used Car Salesmen. I am the exiled monarch of a country I founded myself. Halesowen is in Shropshire. True? Yes, actually, but it depends who is making the rules. So how do they select the judges for this competition?

Nice to hear from you again Varangarian. I'm not sure how you would select a judge for a competition full of liars?? Do they have to be professional liars themselves?!! What is a professional liar anyway - if you are that good at lying you have probably never been found out. Used car salesmen could make great judges.

 Did you know that in a secret vault in the West Country, inventors are perfecting the first bicycle with wheels made out of cheese? This is in preparation for the next cheese-rolling contest. The new invention is under wraps until nearer the day, but a preview will be part of the title roll in Cheese which is appearing in the West-end later this year. The actor selected to deliver this, received a grilling for getting his teeth into the cheese roll itself, and is in bad odour with the rest of the Cast, who prefer to tune a mayo. Croissants Encroyable!!!

Nonsense Funky Chicken. Fish soccer has been around since the 1880s. Check the record - in the early years of the FA Cup the competition was graced by a side called Fishwick Ramblers. There is no Fishwick on my map. Coincidence?

 Poissons to you all! There's 2 things to do with a barrel - either roll it out, or scrape it. Got someone over a barrel? You won't need my help then!

Again you show your ignorance Funky Chicken. You are clearly oblivious to Peter Haddock, Geoff Salmons, David Tench, Rugby Union's Peter Whiting and Rugby League legend Jack Fish from years gone by.
