Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Geordies?

Are you saying somebody should get a river put in Snowy? You could have some lovely rapids down Hucklehoven Way.

Just get on an aeroplane and leave. It's really not as difficult as you might think.

A mere technicality ........ when you're white water cruising down the burny after heavy rain and your life is flashing before your eyes the bogs flooding will be the last of your worries.
