  • I make it almost a point of principle not to download anything encoded in a Real format. However this POV Hong Kong Base Jump (4.6Mb Real) has really clear live sound. The rushing air, very un-Hollywood, makes it an excellent vicario-thrill.

  • Schott's Sporting Gaming and Idling Miscellany, is wondrously good. 150 pages packed with stuff you really ought to know: the rules of Mornington Crescent, Elephant Polo, and the Siena Palio; safety tips for Pamplona and the Cresta Run; arcane vocabulary from all manner of odd pasttimes; and lots of excellent quotes. (Available wherever books are sold from Monday)

  • B3TA type video from Mr and Mrs Wheatley: Cunning Stunt.

  • And via various sources: the DEA newsletter Microgram Bulletin. It's an online primer for drug runners, full of fascinating detail, even for those of us who aren't into smuggling. Highlights include bogus Viagra containing amphetamines, and bogus amphetamines containing real Viagra.
