Who says there are no more heroes?

Trilby, Jarvis and myself were out on the South Bank the other day, getting merrily drunk on cocktails and beer (for t'was payday). I dragged them along to see 'Appearing Rooms', which is a rather wonderful installation outside the Royal Festival Hall.

To quote the RFH's website, "this spectacular water sculpture by Danish artist Jeppe Hein (is a) playful work of art. Walls of water in the aquatic pavilion rise and fally randomly to divide the space into a series of smaller 'rooms', changing every ten seconds... As viewers walk through the 'rooms' they must interact with the patterns of rising and falling water if they are to leave the space without getting wet."

Or, to paraphrase, it's a load of splashy fun. Check it:

Looks good, huh? So Trilby, Jarvis and I wobble over to said art installation. We huddle together in one of the 'rooms', the bottoms of our trousers getting slightly wet.

Then Jarvis utters the immortal words, "I'll give you a tenner if you run through that wall of water."

And so...

Trilby, a (sopping wet) prince among men. He's my hero and I love him.

 Tilting at fountains, as opposed to windmills.
