The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

Crash landingI was on a small bus travelling from Wells to Bristol. It was a hot day, there were no seats, and I had to stand. I faint easily at the best of times, and as was common back then I was a bit hungover. Far from ideal conditions.
Feeling a bit spacey, I turned to the person sitting next at me and asked if I could take their seat as I was feeling faint. They moved quickly- I must have looked poorly. Unfortunately I fainted just as I was sliding in to their seat.
And awoke, after a rather trippy dream about being under water. I'd slumped. Face down. Into. My. Seated. Neighbours. Crotch.
Not sure who was the most embarrassed...
