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.

My Fatherrecently bought one of them satellite nav thingies. The first time he used it when I was in the car with him was during a 60 mile trip, and he had it set to Anne Robinson's voice giving out the directions and may I state, for the record, SHE GETS RIGHT ON MY TITS, so as you can imagine listening to the ginger whinger pipe up every 30 seconds was not too enjoyable.
Anyway, after an hour of travelling we reached our destination but for the last few minutes he decided to change the voice to show me who else you can have directing you. Now when the Ossie Osbourne voice came on I thought, hang on, my father loves Black Sabbath so why didn't he have Ossie on from the start?
Me:"Why didn't you have Ossie navigating us here?"
Dad:"Are you kidding? have you never seen The Osbournes, he's as thick as pig shit, his directions would've taken us twice as long to get here"
Parents, gotta love 'em.
