.... We are in the South West.

It was freeeezing but I was at the beach with a colleague. Neither of us had brought suits and it was pretty crowded, but being adventurous sorts we stripped to our (opaque!!) undies and dived in.

God it was cold, but invigorating! Anyone else?

I watched people swimming at Littlehampton a few days ago, they seemed to be having a huge amount of fun.

was in teh sea North Devon on Thursday, freezing but fun in the surf.

RevoltingPeasant · 24/04/2011 22:02

Yeah, most people were in wetsuits, but us less far-sighted types made do with bra & pants :)

If you didn't swallow any, you revolting peasant, YANBU Grin

Slightly eccentric, but good for you stripping to your undies and not giving a flying fuck.

Tsk, killjoy AIBU police officer southeastra.

I enjoy reading about other peoples freaky lives, it makes me feel normal.

southeastastra · 24/04/2011 22:08

so do i but wonder why the op feels she is being unreasonable by doing what she likes :S

i dislike aibu though - it kills normal conversation - is it not enought to just post 'i had a nice day swimming in the sea'

RevoltingPeasant · 24/04/2011 22:16

Oh FGS, loads of people post silly things in AIBU. Calm down, dear!

Agent, who you callin' freaky? Angry

There, is that sufficiently controversial now?? :)

i don't really give a shite, but just think chat was better is all

hmc · 24/04/2011 22:20

Yes - my 7 year old and 9 year old - and quite a lot of other people on the beach....(Bournemouth).

I went in as far as mid calf - that was definitely enough for me!

RevoltingPeasant · 24/04/2011 22:22

hmc I was going for midcalf, and then an enormous wave hit me in the crotch, and I thought fuck it....

The sea?! That's where whales wank!

hmc · 24/04/2011 22:26

Grin RevoltingPeasant!

AgentZigzag · 24/04/2011 22:34

'Agent, who you callin' freaky? Angry'

Why you little...Angry

I've classified you as a freak, so that's what you are.

How dare you question me??

(convincing?)

South, chat is good, but sometimes lacking bite.

I haven't got the time to go on both all the time, AIBU is the first choice for a lot of people I'm sure.

YANBU if you ask me, but my Nana would say otherwise. She is sure our dips in the ocean up near Sunderland each Easter were what caused my Rheumatoid arthritis... [bugrin]

gostraightahead · 24/04/2011 22:56

I was tempted, but knew the water was freezing.
