Just think of all the spitting events you could have:

Standing long spit

Running long spit

Target spitting

Clay-pigeon spitting

All, of course, with different classes ranging from pure saliva to snot-filled greenies. Cany anyone think of other spitting events?

It would seem that there are some people already in training for this event (which it has to be said I would endorse were I on the Olympic committee).

In Georgia, America they have just held the redkneck games and spitting the watermelon seed was one of the highlights.

The competition is stiff however with the record being something like 36ft.

I am not sure if that is good or bad so I am off to my local supermarket to stock up on watermelons.

I fancy my chances of making the british team.
