Fed up with 34C heat yesterday some Russian teenagers covered their lounge in their flat in plastic sheeting and filled it with water, creating an indoor swimming pool. They’re not revealing their names or address.

All health and safety objections aside, sometimes (not always) it’s good to follow your impulses, to go for what you want and life is also about creating memories. I’d have been more impressed if they had charged for entry, copyrighted their photos and got advertising income from a viral video on YouTube!
