Didn't realise it was today, or that they'll be doing stuff every month.

They are barely moving. They could use some more water, I reckon.

I can't link or embed the video as it contains swearing, but search Youtube for "Fun at illegal water slide in Australia HD". :cool:

That does look fun but that bloke who did most of the talking to camera, I can't believe people act like that. What a knobber.

With all the gunk going on in the news/world this is a nice harmless fun piece of news.

That's probably Sunday-driver talk.

I think Bristolians should be applauded for putting on the whole "make Sunday special" events over the summer, its really quite refreshing.

There was a big ballot and unfortunately I was unsuccessful! I love how more people applied for this than voted for the Bristol mayor

I think everyone wished it was a bit longer and went a bit faster, but really that's just the whiny Brit in everyone coming out. It was bemusing and silly, like all good things should be
