[swimming] Don’t be so wet — Julie Burchill on Swimming Pools … ‘I’m not being a killjoy here.

In fact, “No Running, No Diving, No Petting” made it on to my shortlist as a title for my autobiography, neatly summing up my steadfast idleness, my obdurate heterosexuality and my intrinsic heartlessness.’
