A NEW sport has sprung into my life.

It’s called extreme pot-holing but no you don’t need climbing boots or helmets with lamps to participate.

All you need is your car and the local roads as it involves swerving and zigzagging around wonderfully located voids in the road surface, oh what fun.

You see so many others also enjoying themselves at the wheel often muttering away to themselves at the utter joy of it all.

I see the organisers have tried to spoil the fun by putting white paint around some of our favourite hazards so we can see them better but don’t choose those eh, they’re just for softies.

I also hear a million pounds has been found to remove some of our best chasms but don’t worry fellow addicts, with such a large supply out there, there will be plenty left for us.

In any case, just wait until the winter months and those devilish little hollows will be back in exactly the same locations but much better and deeper for our enjoyment.

Well must rush, got to pick up the car from the garage now that their metal bashers have hammered my wheels round again.

Happy potting!
