Today I was staggered by an article I read in the Guardian which reported that "hundreds of people are expected to gather in a hall in central London on August 5 to pleasure themselves in aid of charity" with prizes (seperate!) for fequency and endurance (the world record is apparently 8.5 HOURS!!): somehow this spectacle will be made into a television programme, which they plan to call Wank-a-thon, which is "to find out if the only things allowed to be stiff in Britain are upper lips".
