Man tosses his knob 21.8m.

Great achievement, but I personally, always like to keep my knob close to hand :D

My Grandfather used to love Dorset Knobs. We used to stop off at the factory on the way to school to pick up a couple of tins for him. Never toss my 21.8m knob personally!

When I saw that article this morning, followed by the app to cure the fear of spiders that is sadly a century late for some fella... I just KNEW it was a slow news day.

Dorset knobs are (or at least were back then!) available in plastic bags or tins.

indeed , i'm handicapped from being accepted as a local by the fact that I only have 5 fingers on each hand, and by the fact that my parents were not only married when i was born, but married to each other as well (and they weren't previously related !) ;)
 
Oddly, inbreeding is far more common in inner cities than rural communities these days. Probably not so a couple of hundred years ago when the next village was considered almost foreign! Hurried weddings are also less common now since the social stigma of bastardry is less than once it was. My Father was allegedly a few months premature, although he was a healthy 9lbs or so (born rather fewer than 9 months after his parents married!)

Far too many people throwing their knobs about then, it appears.
 
I've no idea how far the average Dorset knob throw is.

I'd like to have a go at throwing my own knob before I comment on how good 21.8m really is.

That said, the knob eating contest, knob darts, knob weighing, and knob painting sound a great way to pass an afternoon.
 
Any mention of willy whanging will be a typo - it's actually wElly whanging, a contest to see how far a welly can be whanged (translation, a Wellington boot can be thrown!).

Not sure whether knob painting involves the use of a knob as a brush or a canvas.
 
Using your knob as a paintbrush..... fun times in my book, best use water based though eh ;-)

Yeh, I'll give you that, but it will make the knob eating yucky.
