Go Ape, coming down a zipline
I'm on a perfect approach, coming in facing forward, so throw up both hands in devil horns and shout "FUCK YEAAAAHHHH!".

This causes me to spin slightly, so I end up ploughing backwards into the sawdust, rather than gracefully running to a stop.

Alt Q: Go on holiday! It's been too long and I need to get away somewhere hot.

When?
I've earmarked the 1st week in September, as the kids will be back in school so it'll be quieter and cheaper.

I'm going to Spain in September
hoping to avoid the chavs and the kids of chavs.

We booked this because we thought sweary junior would be coming but he doesn't want to now.

some old lady shouted at my friend for leaving his chip wrapper on a wall at the bus stop
he shouted "SOZ!" at her and stomped off to put it in the bin. It made me lol because she was right, he was a litterbug.

Hats off to that old lady!

Managed to get half of it down my neck too.

I went on one of those last year
Don't know how much the different courses differ, but the one I was on had numerous ziplines. I don't think I made a successful landing on any of them. Even when I thought I was coming in for a perfect landing, feet at the ready, I promptly went arse over tit and ended up, as wookiee puts it, with a woodchip wedgie.

when I was in Spain last year I went on a zip line thing over a big pool,
but there was no rubber left on the handle so it was really slippy and as soon as my feet left the ledge I slipped straight off and back slapped the water. Sank like a stone. It was so fucking painful, I was at the bottom of the pool for a minute before I realised I was still underwater.

But at least you didn't end up with an arse full of woodchippings
(Ouch, all the same, that must have been nasty...)

I've been to two, and they're mostly the same, just differ in height and length of ziplines.
The last time I went I managed to get a perfect landing every time. My lady, however, managed to somehow flip around the wire and end up faceplanting.

Ouch
And I thought it bad enough having to pick woodchipppings out of my pants.
