So tomorrow I'm abseiling down the National Museum of Photography in Bradford...



But I need some advice. The big question is - will my bum look big in a spiderman outfit? I just think that if you are going to abseil 5 floors down a building of national heritage, it should be done in style.

What do you think?

As long as the suit is tight, no matter how big your butt is all the ladies will think you are sexy. Don't forget the ridiculously huge cup

are you legally abseiling or just dressing up to look like a fool?

Yeah, we saw that as well. They had the old-style Batman outfit then there was a Robin with the costume from the new movies lol, it looked odd.

On that tangent, while I hardly agree with going around dumping condems on people, I think the 'FFJ' have a point. Women are unfairly favored in both the US and the UK in child custody cases, but I hear it's especially bad in the UK.

It's all legal and above board. I'm doing it for charity, and my own sense of fulfillment in life.

If I reach the bottom (in one piece or many), I will have raised £150 for the RNIB. And before you make the same mistake as a dozen other people, the RNIB have nothing to do with lifeboats.

If you think my plight is worthy enough, feel free to pop over to their website and make a donation...

Haha, so true

I went there a while ago. Nice building. The problem is, it's all in glass. You'll have a lot of pople watching you

Good luck - I'll be sure to check their web site for pictures

I would do but I have no money, but I think it's good your doing it for charity, especially when abseiling is fun.

One tip if you don't like heights: don't look down until you can see the floor in the corner of your eyes (i.e. about to hit it).

Thanks for the encouragement, all.

I made it down in one piece, and it was a lot less daunting than I expected. I made sure I didn't think too much about it until I had gone "over the edge".

Another item to mark off the "things to do before I die" list.

My advice - do it at least once in your life.
