BROOM BALANCING Welcome to the first round of the international pro-celebrity broom balancing championships. The rules of the game are extremely easy to understand... Step one: Take hold of the nearest broom. Step two: Balance it. Step three: Feel extremely smug with yourself until it either falls or is knocked over. Step four: Drunkenly boast that you can balance the broom on increasingly bizarre objects. Step five: Locate increasingly bizarre objects. Step six: Repeat steps one to five. And here is the evidence... You actually join us here in round two of the championships, Andy has already successfully balanced the broom on the floor and so Gareth (left) is showing Ben, Ross and Eileen just how clever he is at balancing the broom on the table (step three of the rules of the game). Pic 1. Andy responds with a classic 'stool on table' balance. A fine piece of broom balancing from one of the sport's greatest. Unfortunately there is no pictorial evidence of the next round of the championship...the satellite link-up went down, however, eye witness accounts say that Gareth responded with 'Pint pot on stool on table' . A maneuver that many thought impossible...until now. Not to be outdone Andy countered immediately with 'Wine glass on pint pot on stool on table' Here we have a shot of Andy preparing to carry out his master stroke. Pic 2. See the concentration on the man's face... The tension in the arena is immense. And here it is! The gold medal winning effort. An amazing feat of achievement by a man at the peak of his broom balancing abilities. (unless YOU can beat it!) DISCLAIMER: NO BROOMS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FEATURE. The Next Generation
