Remember someone saying that infront of me in a queue years ago, still look back and think... confused
My mate worked in a McDonalds in Nottingham years ago, there was a guy that used to go in and order a hamburger without the burger cos he liked the buns. Tomato butty!

Had one from my wife a few weeks back.

Driving along the motorway an old 1940's fighter bomber flew over head very low with undercarriage down, it had the D-day stripes on and I think it might have been a Hawker Typhoon.

I quite rightly acted like a 12 year old with lots of pointing and getting the windows down.

My wife turns over and says

"Does this mean we are going into Syria then?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Her: "Well normally when they move fighter planes around it means we are off to war, like that time in Iraq"
Me: "I don't think the war would last very long if we sent 70 year old aircraft"

One of her favourite movies is topgun

nerd Whatever it was it wasn't a Typhoon, sadly there are no airworthy ones.

..but it is worth doing. Be daft if you went to Venice and didn't do it. I enjoyed it.

That said, don't go to Murano unless you're happy to part with some (lots of!) cash, and it is well worth seeing the glass making demonstrations.

I must be daft then! Personally I'd rather walk and see things at my own speed than pay a fortune for a boat ride and end up in loads of other people's photos smile

You are allowed to do that too, it's not an 'either/or' situation.

Agree with the poster above, a gondola ride is a must do in Venice.

There are that many bridges I can't think of many things you'd struggle to see from dry land

I can think of little worse (well, OK, I can think of lots of worse things, but a little hyberbole makes it sound better) than spending £80 for 20 minutes in an unstable boat while an italian man sings badly and you get papped by thousands of Japanese tourists.

If you give them £100 they'll drop the singing bit.

Many years ago, a girl friend decided she'd like a holiday with a difference. So I booked a Naturist holiday in South France. We arrived at 1:00am, so no one was about. Jumped in bed, and went to sleep. Upon arising from the bed in the morning, she decided to look outside the apartment to take in the scenery. She came scampering back pretty rapidly, with a look of amazement on her face. "All the people outside are walking around naked" she exclaimed. "I thought we were going to somewhere where there were lots of birds and animals to look at? Like that David Attenbourgh does on TV”. At least she got a nice even tan all over in the end.

Go into a chipshop late at night. Order 2 sausages and 1 portion of chips. Each cost a £1. Give the girl £3. Stares at them in her hand. Goes to till. Rings up 2 sausagses and 1 portion of chips. Turns and looks at me and says "Oh yea, that's correct."

Sitting on Clacton sea front. Wife sees a Bassett hound. "Oh, look at that dog with short legs." "Yes" I say "but they're born with normal legs, but they run around so much, their legs get shorter". We were half way home before she hit me.

I tried to convince mine that a Labradoodle was only called that if the male parent dog was a Labrador and the female the Poodle. And that if the sexes were reversed the result was a Poodor.

Nearly got away with it too, but couldn't keep a straight face. biggrin
