Suffer!

[davidn]

For the second year running I have done the May Dip, for no other reasons than to show Whitney I could and because of my huge lack of sense. Photographic evidence is shown here. I have to admire the bravery of Jonny and many Computer Science people who dived straight in rather than using my more tentative approach of edging in from the shore and screaming a lot.

The walk back was made slightly less unbearable by my dressing gown. Only in St Andrews could I find myself walking around the town dressed only in a dressing gown at six in the morning after having jumped in the North Sea. Why can't we have sensible traditions?

Cos if traditions were sensible, they'd just be regular events.

"Why do we jump in the north sea? Cos it's a tradition!"
"Why do we avoid a 2 ft square patch of pavement outside the quad? Cos it's a tradtion!"

Sounds a lot better than
"Why do we take exams at the end of each semester? Cos it's a tradition!"

you are either very brave or very silly...meep! That is one tradition they will never get me doing...I refuse to own a swimsuit or bikini and I can't swim anyway... *hides*
