Circa 1996/7 - Blue Planet Aquarium
Running round like idiots in a 'Shakey the Shark' costume, tripping kids up, juggling for the queues outside and generally just pissing around.

We used to take it in turns to go into the 'touch pool' where visitors could handle (gently) Dogfish, Rays, Lobsters etc...

Every now and again we (the qualified divers, that weren't in the position of 'diver' *stop laughing) would get into the 880,000gl tank with the sharks and generally tart about with a mackerel waiting for the shark to take it off you, in case you're interested it means waiting for the shark to come towards you at which point you sort of wave it at him/her and just fall backwards and they'd extend their teeth and take it off you.

^this may sound cool and don't get me wrong it was fun, but it was fuck all compared to the attention you'd get walking around in a wetsuit afterwards.....

Bloody stunk when you did a trump in it. Especially after a night out in Cream. Chemicals!
