To enter Toe Nail Targets Olympics, one needs long toe-nails. This is why contestants must grow their toe-nails for a full year, prior to each event.

The rules of the game are simple. A sticky target with a numbered scoring system like dart boards is set up. Each contestant paints their toe nails in a different colour, so that they can be easily identified. Each contestant gets twenty shots ie two clips for each nail. If no-one hits the target in the first round, it is moved a lot closer.

Extra points are awarded for style, and artistic impression. eg contestants may "shoot" from contorted yoga poses.

have you researched how long it takes a toenail to become an in-growing nail? I imagine this can differ from person to person.

I'm afraid my research in this area is rather slight. Are you an expert with whom I could call upon for a consultation re nail growth rates etc?

I'm hardly an expert on anything much except inner city parakeets and pigeons.

Do you clip their nails?

Ah, that explains why what I thought were pink flamingos I saw the other day looked so darn short- legged!
