World Watching Paint Dry Championships Come to UKIf you’re boring, have no social life and tend to be an all round sad bastard, then BBM has the perfect sport for you.

The World Watching Paint Dry Championships are set to be held in the UK for the first time in 2012 and the organisers are appealing for competitors:

“You don’t need to be physically fit or participate in a vigorous training regime, what’s more important is mental strength, concentration and endurance,” said a spokesperson for the event.

“Previous paint-watching experience isn’t essential, but a bit of practice might help prepare contestants for the mammoth task ahead of them.”

Basically, if you’re capable of watching Australian day-time television for longer than half an hour or have ever said the words ‘Emmerdale was good last night’, you could be a world winner at this.
