Skydiving. Rock climbing. White water rafting. Who would have thought that trainspotting would be an extreme sport as well. This trainspotter is lucky to be alive as he completely ignores the golden rule of trainspotting – “it’s not a good idea to stand in front of a moving train”.

Train Crash TV
Staying on the theme of near misses involving trains, this impatient driver can’t wait for the barriers to come down and the train to pass. Instead he decides to try and beat the barriers, gets stuck and then nervously edges as close to them as possible to avoid the incoming train. Unfortunately for the rear part of his car, not quite close enough.
Unsophsticated wonderment
Everyone hates rubberneckers. I hate rubberneckers. They create traffic jams, encourage erratic driving and in some cases, cause accidents. Hopefully this clip will highlight the dangers and stop rubberneckers rubbernecking!
Platt’s the way to do it!
The World Cup is now only three weeks away and our weekly slice of world cup gold comes from the volleying boots of David Platt. Picture it now. It’s Italia ’90. England are playing Begium for a place in the quarter finals.The match is level and we are in the last minute of extra time. The game is heading for penalties. England are awared a free kick. The ball is floated in and Platt spins on the spot, perfectly volleying the ball home past the despairing Belgian goalkeeper. The game is won. England are through to the quarter finals of the 1990 World Cup. David Platt becomes a legend. Watch, enjoy, reminisce.
