All the water in the world.....

[GingerWizard]

Having been swimming this afternoon it got me thinking......

All the water that is currently stored outside of the main water system i.e bottled water, beer, swimming pools, water butts, cooling water at nuclear power stations, cisterns, etc etc etc what would be the effect if we just poured it back into the enviromental system? Emptied everything just pulled the plug and put it all back.... Anything?
Would the netherlands and india wash away?

I'd imagine it's not that much in the grand scheme of things.

Not even 1% of the total water in the world.

I doubt you'd see any difference at all?

Not much indeed...

And when all the icebergs melt, the level rises markedly.

And the polarised bears drown too. I can see the water level rising here, he doesn't have much time left......

Slightly off topic, but relevant. Loch Ness holds more water tahn the whole of England & Wales combined, so not likely we'd see Holland underwater.

I read somewhere that it's all piss, every drop has been processed by human kidneys, at least once.

Actually melting icebergs would have no effect at all on seal levels. When an ice cube melts in a glass, the level of the drink doesnt rise does it?

It's only melting ice from a sheet of land that will run off and increase sea levels. The antarctic ice sheet is huge and mostly on land, when this melts the low lying countries will be in trouble

Crikey - Drunken/stoned swimming sessions. Last time I checked my local pool, I was more or less banned unless I happened to be swimmer/old/woman/child and so on. As an employed man who doesn't have spogs, I apparently don't need any exercise and would seem to be a notch worse than Jingle Jangle, let alone the disciples.


Anyhow, needs a bit more than that to kill off TOWIE, sadly. I'd take a natural impact over bogs/sinks any day.

It sounds to me like you might have needed a bigger banana hammock..... And a little less pre swim stretching at the poolside!

Speedos just don't cut it when you're 19 stone and 50 years old.
