So, I was nominated for the ice bucket challenge yesterday. Aside from the fact that these videos are now doing my nut in, I can’t help but think that they are a massive waste of water. Now obviously, I’m not saying that raising awareness for a worthy charity such as ALS is a waste of time and effort, but when you look at the figures it does seem slightly insensitive to me.
