What did she do, drink it?Originally posted by JRCT View Post
When I was a kid we had one of those poxy 3 ring pools that took about 10 minutes to blow up, 10 minutes to fill and 10 minutes for my fat sister to burst.

But what about the paddling pool?Originally posted by mudskipper View PostWe had a rigid one - water got left in and it went green and slimy. Lethal!Comment

No. she'd spend the first 4 minutes putting one toe at a time in, screaming "IT'S FREEEEEEZIN'!". Then once fully submerged, she'd decide it would be hilarious to take a running jump, slip on the grass, land on top of the semi-inflated wall that my dad had half-heartedly blown up whilst still smoking a fag, before giving up with the words "That'll do", which would then pop under her weight. The rest of the afternoon was spent trying to fit the paddling pool in the bin (pre wheelie-bin days) and being told by my mum to stay off the lawn because there's too much water on it, even though the plan was to spend the afternoon in a pool.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostWhat did she do, drink it?

INKSPE!Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostWhat? They photographed my house. Closest you'll get is appearing on crimewatch.Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
