My girlfriend has had a few recently, one of which was booking us into a hotel in Wetherby for new years, turns out she got confused with Whitby and assumed Wetherby was by the sea so instead of waking up for a walk down the beach we woke up with a lovely view of the A1(M)!
Fail from the Mr. surely?

My girlfriend booked a hotel for us a new years eve as neither of us are big drinking types so we thought we'd go away for the night. Left her in charge of booking the room, she finds a good deal, in wetherby.
We set off to the hotel from Leeds, obviously the drive doesn't take long, upon arriving the gf says 'well that didn't take as long as I thought to get here, where is the sea?'
'Where is the sea?' I asked, 'What do you mean?'
Her: 'Well, wetherby is near the sea isn't it, that's why I booked it, it'll be nice to get up and walk along the beach front, don't you think?'
Me: 'well yes, it would be, but the sea is about 60 miles away from here'
Her: 'No it isn't, Wetherby is a seafront town!!' (Now getting angry)
Me: 'Here babe, look at this map'
Her: 'f
k, I think I meant Whitby....'
It was still a nice break however being by the sea would've been nicer

............ how are you going to get the energy back to earth?

Thats just plain silly...the spaceships would get all tangled up in them!W: Long cables?.......
The fact that the moons not in a geostationary orbit for starters.
The idea of a space elevator is that it goes out to a satellite that remains in a fixed point above the ground, which means 22k miles up, and then a load more to tension the string.
I'd heartily recommend Kerbal Space Program if you want to learn the basics of orbital mechanics :-D

The other night while watching a film she asks me to turn the light off, being a good lad I jumped up and turned off the light switch..
'oh, I didn't want it that dark that quickly' she pipes up.
Well what the hell did you think would happen after I switched the bloody lights off?

Brilliant.
At ye olde giftte shoppe in the Mary Rose exhibit at Portsmouth Naval Dockyard this week when Mrs V. came out all indignantly:
"That kid has just bought TWO packs of sweets for FIVE POUNDS! He could have had a guide book instead for that price!"
The Vikingettes and I just looked at each other with a WTF-does-a-kid-want-a-guide-book type look.
