2009-12-19 - I dare you...

fuck. i should have gone straight there after RP. bollocks. i missed the event of the century. week. i mean week.

It was bracing to say the least. But well worth it. 100 or so people. Very few wetsuits.

A centimetre of ice, a late Balki, Corny dressed up warm with a camera.

I'm off for a hot shower. The rest of the slackers (aka the Free the Streatham 1 Cooperative Socialist Worker's Collective) are in the pub.

well done, being hung over removed any motivation for this. Lame

It seemed to cure Mark and Balki's hangovers quite quickly...

And some Getty Pictures too.

fun. cold. thanks for coming along. pub was nice.
x

That was great - Erin, thanks for sorting it. I've just about warmed up, but my toes still hurt.

Most surreal moment of the afternoon - Pisti coming into the pub and then Fleetwood Mac playing on the jukebox - McCarthy woulda loved it.

I didn't see Richie there ^, he must have left quickly

I have photo's its just safari is being a bit weird will attempt to post them up later on this evening, once the soup is on the go..

Whos fucking great idea was that.

Shit day.

Someone cheating!

Glad I chickened, theres ice on the surface. I'd have been ill.

Well done you guys! Very brave. How long did you last in the water?

Has nny defrosted yet?

Well done you guys! Very brave. How long did you last in the water?

Sigh, the question we hoped no one would ask

corny has a close up photo of the balki nipple in full effect if that helps you estimate the time?

Has nny defrosted yet?

hmmm sufficiently by now yes...

and contrary to what balki says, its not alright once you're in. its alright once you are out.

Whos fucking great idea was that.

Shit day.

you big kidder.

today was excellent, and you know it.

It was indeed. Great fun.

Thanks for organising dude!

Nude. Break the ice with your todger. Mrs Palmer after to warm up.

okay so just managed to get the computer to upload, these.

notice the hunched "god its freezing shoulders", the boys own adventure of balki and marky jumping into the freezing depths, and snowy's refusal to take off his hat as he dipped his shoulders under the water..

my it was cold, those who braved the waters were idiots i tell you, but courageous idiots.

had a fun time in the florence for afters as well..

its been done once, so its a forum tradition, so you mad people will have to go through this again next year...
