    Come on folks, it's that time of year again :)

    Even if not for charity, come down on the morning for the craic. Christmas Day can be the most boring (and lonely) day of the year, so if you've no other plans come on down... ye can see me in shorts and nothing else :D :eek:

    I'll be there too. Have done it every year since I was thirteen, not missing this. I believe the tide will be in, thank Christ!

    No, you just tend to be more and more drunk every time you go down to 'hide' the cold :p

    Looking forward to it! Never thought of having a few stiff drinks beforehand even though it is a bit early.

    I think the swim is a brilliant way to start Xmas day - better than mass anyway!
