christmas is always a bit subdued in our house.
Parents always worked shifts, so often worked Christmas, and now both me and my brother do we don't get a chance to disgrace ourselves. I still love Christmas, but as we invariably only get 1 day all together we tend to avoid the serious drunkening. Save that for the summer, falling in the canal hurts a lot less than arse over tit on an icy pavement.

Unless there is a bike in it?

yeah,
Only came a cropper once in the canal, slashed my foot on a submerged trolley. Pretty painful. Still, probably better than a cracked skull.

How often do you enter canals?

normally swim in the river in the summer.
But have gone in the canal a few times as it's on the way back from the pub.

Are you aware of "swimming pools"?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 19 Dec 2011, 16:04, Reply)

well yeah.
But the only outdoor pool near here is rubbish. And there's a really nice fast flowing clean stretch of river near, and we can drink by the river.
