Well. It seems the interest in the stunt has gone from posotive to negative. Uh-Oh David! Watch yourself!

Thanks,

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is taking the p*ss out of him. Will that do?

I dunno. These things he does always seem to me to be too low key, far too long and, well, dull, really... :(


Edit: For a fairly short thread, this one really does have an awful lot of hits. I feel all shy :oops:

Yeah, I wish there were a webcam of him...But we'll have to wait until the 8th. The news sometimes has some small segments about him.

Thanks,

I´m going to try something better than David Blaine.
I´m going to live ..... (Text deleted by Mods)

OK, enough - that's not the standard of posting we have on TM - we can appreciate 'adult' humour but not that sort. This is the second of your posts which have had to be edited - a third will see more than editing.

Why not just cut to the chase at the end?

Eeek! The BBC are reporting that he's not well. Pins and needles, peeling skin, etc.

But what I want to know is, if he's in there for a week in a diving mask, goggles and feeding tube, why isn't the water all, you know, cloudy, yellow and a public health risk? How (oh dear lord, how do I put this delicately?) does he drop the kids off at the pool each morning let alone sleep? A week's a long time in politics, but a lifetime in a glass bowl with no, erm, bowl... :|

According to one report, there are tubes leading in to provide air and nourishment and there are other tubes leading out again.....I'll leave you to figure out what for :? !
