Edam is perfect for this

It's made backwards, did you know?

 

[Banjo]

A Pelmet sub forum did you say?

Those pelmets may look stylish but theres absolutely no evidence that they will offer any protection should your home be hit by an asteroid.

... only on a cycling forum eh?

Chapeau!

I think you mean "casque"

I am sure someone will come along soon to refute that assertion!!!!

 

[Alun]

Any Norwegian Jarlsberger, per chance?

Quite right - Banjo is wrong.


The pattern of injury in fatal asteroid accidents and the possible benefits of pelmets.
Kennedy. British Journal of Bedroom Furniture related Medicine Vol 30 pp130-3, 1996.

is pretty clear and comprehensive.

Class choice, especially when swilled down proper with that electric soup you're drinking in your avatar!

It's important to consider the benefits of hard cheese against soft cheese. Soft cheese whilst offering a form of cusioning during collision doesn't absorb impact as well as say Montgommery cheddar. I'll invent some statistics later to prove this. Maybe a graph too.

A nice bit of Stinking Bishop for me. Soft cheese to cushion the impact, nice hard rind to hold it together, ventilation holes to keep you cool and God and the Bishop on your side, you can't go wrong.

Obviously a good hard cheese will be better for the shell of the helmet, but a softer type would offer better shock absorbtion on the inside and also mold to the shape of the head. Too soft though and it'll run down your face.

Soft cheese is only tested against a flat surface. Hit your head on a curd and it offers very little protection

I am just glad that we now have a Sub Forum. They have been proven to save life's and those who don't use them are numpties ;p
