*smiles* Well.... I would do that.... smiley - smiley

...only I'm actually waiting for someone to decide which slide I should slide down... smiley - smiley Or, which slide *we* should slide down... smiley - winkeye

*looks at Vicki expectantly.... smiley - bigeyes*

And.... until she does.... *grins* You're free to slide down before us... smiley - smiley

*frowns*
If this goes on, we'll never get anywhere...

*leaps down nearest slide*
*reaches pool, creates a huge splash and begins swimming madly for the side of the pool*

*grins at all the ways in which he could splash Ming.... goes to the edge of the platform.... looks down on her making for the side of the pool.... wishes someone had thought of installing some water cannons on this tower... smiley - winkeye*

*can't really do anything to harm Ming, though, because he doesn't want to let go of Vicki's hand... smiley - smiley*

*sighs* Well... I think you got away with that... smiley - winkeye

Sorry to interrupt but I've just started the h2g2 olympic games on http://www.h2g2.com/A440227 if your interested- the only watersport so far is 'splashing about in the shallow end with armbands on' but you could start your own sports. Any one can enter as themselves or representing who or what they want (ie. the waterworks team or whatever)

I'll leave you alone now

Not a bad idea. :-) And as we're doing personal ads, JLC opened up a jacuzzi, so anyone who wanted to go to one as well as the swimming pool can apply here: http://www.h2g2.com/F44378?thread=74616 Now - time to slide down. :-)

*looks between the 2 slides......see's Ming swimming as quickly as she can to the other side of the pool.....*

We have no choice....only the hell slide will be able to splash her now...smiley - winkeye

*grins at Pavel & drags him down it with her...smiley - bigeyes*

*grins* You're right.... smiley - bigeyes

*has never slid down the hell slide with someone... smiles...*

This might be fun.... smiley - smiley

*doesn't let go of Vicki whilst they slide down.... mainly because two bodies make a far bigger splash than just one, of course.... smiley - smiley*

*hardly remembers to close his eyes as they finally splash into the pool... smiley - smiley*

SPLASHHHHHHH...... smiley - tongueout

*of course, Ming, who had *just* reached the edge of the pool, is completely & utterly splashed.... smiley - smiley*

Can't have you being dry, now, can we? smiley - winkeye

*wonders if that was a clever thing to say to someone climbing out of a swimming pool... smiley - winkeye shrugs.... smiley - smiley*

*smiles* That was fun.... now.... the other slide? smiley - bigeyes

Ming Mang

*grins and watches tidal wave disappearing down the pool...*
*starts breathing again - swimming as fast as you can for 23 hours in very tiring...*

Ha! I was wet already! You hadn't really thought this through, had you?

*climbs up tower again and watches E and PP swimming to the side*
*watches the tidal wave returning from the end of the pool*
*wonders if she should tell E and PP that it's coming*
*thinks not*
*watches them and the tidal wave in happy anticipation*
*evil grin*
smiley - winkeye

*is perfectly happy just swimming, and completely oblivious of the tidal wave that's coming.... smiley - smiley He isn't looking into that direction, either.... smiley - bigeyes*

*Slides down just when everyone thought it was safe from tidal waves, and guess what? Another tidal wave is created. smiley - smiley*
Ha! That'll teach you to avoid the jacuzzi!

Ming Mang

*Ming continues watching the coming tidal wave and fails to see the other that BB so effortlessly created*
*Ming also continues watching E and PP swimming towards the side - she fails to notice the BB is also in the pool*
*the two tidal waves collide - E and PP disappear from view, Ming gets soaked and thrown to the floor of the tower (ouch!) and BB floats happily out of the way watching the chaos he created*
*Ming tries to do Lifeguard stuff to get E and PP back into view, but has been badly winded and so cannot breath*
*Ming gets worried*

Now, now....

*looks around for BB and spots him... shakes his fist, pretending to be angry... smiley - smiley*

Just you wait, Blue... smiley - smiley

*tries to concentrate on plotting revenge for this.... smiley - smiley*

Ming Mang

*recovers from being hit by large hill of water*
*checks to see if PP and E are OK*
*is relieved to see that they are* smiley - smiley
*is unnerved by the looks on their faces and wonders if now would be the time to leave*

Paul Prefect (It's been 2 years now... wow... 8-))

*grins evilly* No... now definitely isn't the time for you to leave... smiley - smiley

*with a determined look on his face swims to the edge of the pool.... then... climbs out.... which is not as easy as it sounds... as he has to help Vicki out first, whose hand he still refuses to let go.... smiley - bigeyes And then get out himself... smiley - smiley Gets to a water cannon.... aims it... asks Vicki to pull the trigger with her free hand... smiley - smiley grins as he sees Ming being soaked once again...*

Ha... serves you right... Not that it's enough... no, no... there will be more... smiley - tongueout

*looks around* Now, where is BB?... smiley - smiley

I go away for the weekend and look what happens to the unsupervised pool? I'm glad you're all alright. :-) Perhaps you should relax here for a while: http://www.h2g2.com/F44378?thread=74616 to get your breath back before we attack you with waterguns again?
