The death of adulthood is upon us and I for one welcome it
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s always tortuous when you see a bouncy castle. The immediate urge is obviously to run and jump on it for a psychically soothing bounce, but this must be resisted lest you dropkick a small child in the head.
Good news though - a giant bouncy castle for adults is opening on the South Bank in London this week, between 3 and 5 March.
It’s a stunt for the launch of Candy Crush Jelly Saga but still, don’t let this corporate element deter you from gleefully powerbombing your friends on the seven-metre tall castle.
Prizes will apparently be given out for the best bouncers (judging criteria not disclosed).
The installation follows several others aimed at this generation of children who never grow up, including a ball pit for adults (which I went to and was pretty zen) and a giant helter skelter.
The 'Bouncingham Castle' is at 2 More London Place, The Riverside, SE1 2JP. March 3-5. 10am-8pm weekdays, 10am-6pm at the weekend.
