well if it's warm then I'm going to go down to the beach for a bit,
it's supposed to be 27 today - it's 9 am and it's already 19 degrees.

I suppose I could have gone down the beach today. It was about 5 degrees and raining. Also, 'my' beach is a bit grim

ahaha I really like my beach, it's less then a minute down the road by car (I'm lazy when it's warm).
it;s got proper sand and clear water. And no rocks to stab your feet with.

Does it have sharks?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 21:56, Reply)

Only Wobegongs, and they're harmless.
the things you need to watch out for are stingrays - they lie in the shallows in the warm water. There's a big daddy one that's about 5 ft wide and just as long.

*Keeps eyes peeled for Lampy*
Is it fair to say that wobbegong sharks are a bit pathetic?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:00, Reply)

You could say they're the Baldmonkey of the shark world.

I was hoping they'd be a bit like these

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:02, Reply)

yeah they're very very harmless.
they're a lot smaller then other sharks (about a metre generally), and they tend to just keep to themselves.

however, if you go out past the reef (about 150 yards out in the water), then you need to be careful - cos the sea floor drops and there are the good old Great Whites.

i used to be across the road from the beach
there are no rocks to stab your feet on, but it's generally assumed that going in the water is hazardous to one's health.

You can go for a nice walk along the sewage outlet pipe, though

I am very very jealous of you right now.
I live about as far away from the sea as it's possible to be in the uk, and I miss it.

^this.
The second reason I like to visit DG and Tourettes is because they live a 10 minute drive from the sea.

Do you like to stroll along the prom with a bag of chips?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:08, Reply)

There isn't a prom but there is an awesome beach and sandunes.
Mildew and I love it so much.

Anywhere you can get a 99 or a Calippo from?

aw, really?
I must wrangle myself an invite one of these days, if they live where I think they do it's all rugged and castle-y, it's beautiful.
(berk, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:10, Reply)

Definitely.

( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:11, Reply)

I never used to live by the sea but it's sort of a feature of where I live.
farmland is mixed with seaside.

unfortunately it's usually too cold for swimming.

How can you say that having spent a month in the land of the whinging pom when they are bollocks deep in snow?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 22:09, Reply)

because the water we have is antarctic mixing with the southern ocean courtesy of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

Alright trappy.
You've got a cocktail there.

It's Southern Ocean 'on the rocks'.
