The "cold water challenge", "water-tipping" - call it what you will, there's a new craze in the deaf community. The trend for dropping a bucket of water over your own head was started by non-deaf people but it has recently been appropriated by a close-knit network of deaf people in the UK.
BBC Trending reports on how tipping water on yourself - and posting a picture or video of it - has spread like wildfire between deaf friends on social networks.
Think this current trend is a new variation of that one called the "Ice Bucket Challenge" where you nominate "friends" to either drop a bucket of Ice water on their heads or donate an amount to charity. In the event of the person nominated fulfilling the challenge, the person who nominated him or her has to donate to charity instead.
Reading his twitter/instragram, Ozil was nominated by both Jerome Boateng & Steve Aoki and he himself has gone on to nominate Mandy Capristo (his girlfriend), Rihanna and Derrick Rose (US Basketball player).

Normally I would make some cynical comment about B lists celebs on twitter using it for free publicity and to feed their egos but at the end of the day if it's raising money for good causes then it's difficult to disparage it. Read that the original charity that started this trend (ALS association) has seen their donations multiply tenfold over the past month.

Sad news today. Manuel Almunia has been forced to retire after a heart problem was found during his medical with Cagliari.

Always sad to see a footballer forced to retire early because of an injury/illness. He's 37 years old but would have had at least a couple of years left as goalkeeper.
Wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
Sad news. Sad for him.Quote:
