... doen't bear thinking about... Although crayfish are edible, so you could get your revenge!

Just to update and bring this thread back to life, the swimming season at Highgate Men's Pond is now in full swing again and I have been a few times already - always in Speedos, of course.

Nasty shorts still predominate unfortunately, but there does seem to me to be an increase in the number of people wearing Speedo briefs this year - quite a few guys seem to have gone for the blue and the red Endurance briefs. Perhaps the tide is turning?

Oh, and I haven't been bitten by a crayfish yet.

Also forgot to mention, the diving board has been replaced and is back in action.

The diving board is temporarily out of action as there is some sort of underwater obstruction - divers are going to have to go down and explore.

The Men's Pond is still very much open for swimming though - and the Speedo count is definitely well up this year!

The diving board is back in action this week. Divers did a check around the jetty area, and found an underwater obstruction which has now been removed.

Recipe by: Bonnie Lang Turnage-Mortgage O "Here in Louisiana, there's nothing better than this classic during crawfish season. This recipe is easy and can be substituted with shrimp when crawfish are out of season. Even better when served with hot garlic French bread! Start cooking the rice first since this is a quick and easy dish."

Good to hear the diving board is back in use - it's one of the great things about the place. Always impressed with guys who can manage somersault dives - never been that good myself - can just about manage a straightforward "angel dive". Always find it's a lot easier to dive or jump into cold water rather than slowly lowering in down a ladder. Any idea exactly what the "obsturction" was? - supermarket trolley perhaps...
