The Worst Journey in the World
Aspley 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.

I had a chuckle =)
Last year me and a mate flew to Australia for a bit of travelling. 23 hours on a plane and like another 14 hours in stopover time is harsh enough. Broken into 3 stages - Heathrow to Paris, Paris to Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur to Sydney.
On the 2nd leg of the journey as i was walking up the aisle looking for our seat i clapped eyes on this guy that was sitting in our row, this grotesque, fat, sweating, egyptian looking bastard who took up 1 and a half fucking seats was already munching his way through probably his second packet of complimentary nuts.
Hastily checking my seat number i realised i would've been the unlucky passenger who would be made to sit next to the monstrosity. I thought fuck it im not sitting next to him (as you do).
Turning around with a smile i looked at my mate who was blisfully unaware of the forthcoming situation. Not a second after i had turned back i heard "You fucking dare, that window seat is mine!" hahahaha.
My mate was utterly tamping. It gets worse. while my mate was sleeping food was being served, i pulled the little table thing down and ordered his food for him.
He slept while i ate and when i finished my main i fell asleep.
About half an hour later i woke up because i was being pinched i looked over at my mate who was glaring at me...i kept looking and i realised that this guy had just finished swapping his empty tray for my mates full one!
Un-fucking-believable
We agreed after that flight we would sit in our assigned seats.
Unluckily on the last leg i would have the displeasure of sitting next to some stranger.
This however wasnt so bad when that stranger turned out to be a very fit aussie bird who put us up in her apartment near Sydney and showed us around some of the sights.
Every Cloud........
