Open water revenge

now, they are bunging one of the DJ's in the local aquarium in a tank full of sharks for banging on about Open Water.

poor sharks!

Didn't a shark in an aquarium die recently from shock after some idiot jumped in the tank?

This was very very funny. It was all planned with the help of the aquarium staff. They had him in his trunks in a waist deep tank of rays and dogfish and he was PLUMMING himself. He had been going on about how piss poor the film was for ages and so Alan Robson (big celeb up here) kidnapped him and took him to the blue reef aquarium.
You could hear the genuine fear in his voice, especially as "something" brushed his leg.

A certain t-shirt manufacturer was trying to get through to offer them a shark trust shirt.

Alan Robson's nightowls was quite probably the funniest radio programme on the planet when I used to listen to it in the early 90's. Daft geordies calling in late at night. One particularly memorable call went like this:

ALAN: Howay, pet, yuz are live on Metro radio. What do yuz want?

WOMAN CALLER: Eeeee Alan, what do yuz knaaa aboot tortoises?

ALAN: Not alot pet, why?

WOMAN: Well he's not come out from hibernation, Alan.

ALAN: Ah reet pet. Well when did yuz put him in his box?

WOMAN: 1994

ALAN (trying not to piss himself laughing): Howay, lass, I'd gan have a look.

WOMAN: Alreeet Alan.

(sound of phone being put down and footsteps retreating into the distance)

WOMAN: Eeeeek!

(sound of running footstepts back to the phone)

WOMAN: Alan! Eeees dead! Alan! Alan!

ALAN: *silence* ('cos he's wetting himself laughing)

As a fellow "local" that's not exactly how I'd describe radios most GINGA "DJ"

Incidentally this guy is single-handedly responsible for inflicting Europe's "Final Countdown" onto a world-wide audience...

My sympathies are with these poor little reef sharks.

She's probably taken his shell off so he could go out on a Friday night before putting him in the box!

Oh shush. Despite the fact that he is ginger, he is very, very funny. Plus they seem to do a lot of good with the Just for Kids charity.

I know someone who got bit in the shark tank - he took his hood off and had fish guts on his hands - they stuck to his stubble as he hadnt shaved that day. One of them came over and gave him a good "chew/suck" - i suspect it was a dogfish. It drew blood and entertained all the kids in the tunnel "ooooo look mummy that diver is being eaten by a shark!"
