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.

Sort of best AND worstI had just had a head operation (involving putting a lot of titanium in various parts of my head and face) and was on the train back from Birmingham to Middlesbrough.
I had a stonking headache, and felt like shit. All I could hear was a LOT of noise. There was a lot of very drunk VERY big men singing along with funny accents.
I was really narked off, and my mother was too polite to say anything, so I told them to shut up myself. This went down with laughter.
These guys turned out to be players of Bridgend RFC, a Welsh Team. Sat on their knees and played cards with them.
