*Warning - involves visiting the Daily Telegraph website*

New waterslide
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/northamerica/usa/10843077/The-worlds-tallest-waterslide-would-you-ride-it.html

Before I watched the video I was like 'Of course I'd go on it'. Not so sure now, looks mental. Also my palms are now dripping in sweat.

Thanks Jamie. You're like a wondering IT helper. Like that paperclip on Word. But less of a chippy little shit.

Oh, it looks like I'm trying to print a document does it? DOES IT!?

The mad thing is, someone's got to test that to make sure it's ok for everyone else to use! No-chuffing-way would I be riding that 🙂

I would do it.

Went down a high one in Canada, I was more impressed by how big some of the other people going down it were. 😯

Thing that worries me most about that slide is the queue to get on it, you know whilst all Fat Americans standing at the top of it wouldn't make the whole thing wobble side to side a bit.. 😯

Brilliant.

A ridiculous help device. No one wants to be shown up by an inanimate object.

That paperclip wasn't stupid though. After beng told to "Go away" four or five times, It asked me "You keep closing me. Do you not want to see me any more?". I said yes, and haven't seen it since. RESULT!

That *****ing paperclip just used to result in intense and violent swearing every time the little twunt appeared. I hate it with a passion, so bloody patronising.If I want to be spoken to as if I'm a 4-year old, I'll go to the doctor's reception.

And breathe.

🙂 well I was going to say that that knocks out everyone on here anyway. But I thought that might be a bit harsh. 😉
