Last year's World Fish Eating Championship came down to a playoff between the favourite, Jock McClean from Fife in Scotland, and Sweden's hope, Sven Svennson. Mclean, being ahead on percentages, had the choice of fish and chose tench. Svennson wasn't expected to perform well, as he'd had some tough-fought matches and had already consumed well over his bodyweight in fish. The contestants were eating fish for fish up to the count of eight, when Mclean unexpectedly broke a tooth and was forced to retire. However, the competition had taken its toll on Svennson, and he struggled against rising nausea to down his ninth fish and take out the championship. The headline on the next morning's newspaper read, "One tooth free for Fife, sick Sven ate nine tench". regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
