    Why would anyone want to jump into that dirty river? I eat lunch around there from time to time, because I go to NCI college which is just opposite that area. That river is dirty, especially when the tied is out. Either way I wouldn't want to be sitting next to those guys on the bus home or something.

    They were probably just getting there yearly bath.

    Umm... very comparable to snails when you think of it.

    They spend some time trying to climb up to a good height and then they jump/fall off onto the grass, just like those folks that are jumping/falling off the top of the building into the water. Maybe snails do this for the adrenalin buzz as well ? is this a mollusk and human thing ?.

    Ah here, there's no comparison between jumping into a river and playing ****ing chicken on a motorway, in fairness

    Never said there was, but my 1st incident was directly linked, my other point about the motorway was that teens do thinks without thinking,no matter what it is, the point being, think before you act, no matter what it is.

    More of this. Fair play to them. Just the sort of moxie we need for Celtic Tiger 2.0.

    they are more likely to come down with Typhoid fever than to injure themselves.

    Fair play to them. Of all the bad stuff kids could be getting up to, nothing wrong with enjoying an adrenaline rush in the full flush of youth!

    meh, come back to me when they're jumping off something impressive, like the M50 bridge...

    We used to do that when the bridge was built over the grand canal at parkwest/ clondalkin :o
