Warwickshire man nose-pushes Brussels sprout up Snowdon

A man has completed his challenge to push a Brussels sprout up Snowdon using his nose.

Stuart Kettell, from Balsall Common in the West Midlands, started out on Wednesday and reached the 1,085m (3,560ft) summit in three days.

The 49-year-old trained for his charity mission by pushing a sprout around his garden with his nose.

Mr Kettell said he selected a large sprout so it would not fall down a crevice in the rock.

His aim was to collect at least £5,000 in sponsorship for Macmillan Cancer Support, but does not yet know how much he has raised.

"People definitely think I'm mad, and I'm beginning to think it myself," he said.

Mr Kettell, who has previously raised money by staying inside a box for a week, said this latest challenge was the most uncomfortable yet.

"It hurt my arms, my legs, my feet, my knees and my neck," he said.

I'm glad that this challenge has finally been achieved. Now we better understand the limits of human endurance and bonkersness.

Next, push a beetroot up Scafell with your cock.

Am I the only one here who read the thread title as some sort of bizarre fetish assault upon a whistleblower?

No, you are not

My immediate thought was: "Oh, this is gonna be good. Someone's got up close and personal with that poncy photographer."

the man's a twat.

Especially the second one.

Well done that man!

Tight ball that sprout, I thought most of it would have worn off.

He replaced the sprouts with new ones as they wore out...

He probably wished he could do the same with his nose...
