Mayhem at the Beach - Splatter time!

Coogee Beach, Record attempt, XBOX 360 launch. Probably the funniest and most insane thing I have ever done! What happens when you put 1500 people in green tshirts and 1500 people in grey tshirts, give each person 12 water balloons a pair of goggles and stick them on a beach? In short: Hell on earth, total mayhem and extremely wet! We were all hurried onto the beach where we were put into position to form the words "XBOX 360". If you want to try and spot me in the photo, I'm on the left hand inner side of the "O" in "XBOX" .The helicopter went overhead, countdown from 10, on 1 we had to throw a balloon directly up into the sky for a photo opp! Then charge towards the people in the grey and lob as many balloons at them as hard as possible. Not all balloons breaking, so it was a mad attempt at scrambling around grabbing as many unbroken balloons and then lobbing them again. Being twatted in the face with a water balloon is always good fun aswell! Looking back on it, i'm pretty sure that most balloons our team threw didn't even make it over the 10 metre gap (which had to be between the teams to make it a valid record). Most splatted straight on the back of the heads of the people that were throwing in front of you. So glad we stayed in coogee that extra couple of days longer to take part! Thats one thing I can tick off in my "101 things to do before you die" book. I am officially a record breaker! Dedication is what you need!!

Here's a pic of us just after when we got back to the hostel. From left to right: Gav, (add name here later when we finally remember what he's called), Josh, Slater, Spiderman (Simon - Drinks allday!) and ofcourse me!
