What was the best vacation you ever had?

God RC dont you know anything? Joking!

Sfari was wonderdul though RC you would love it. We saw the vistoria falls and they were beautiful and you have to travel on the train aswell in an overnight cabin. First class for about 6 pounds! The best bit is that they have to keep stopping the train because here are Elephants on the track! Id like to see British rail try that one!

It would be the wrong sort of Elephant.

You mean just like we get the wrong sort of rain!

Or leaves. Or snow.

No actually that was a refernce to that fact that even though we have floods over winter, it is the WRONG SORT OF RAIN so we will still have droughts in the summer! How stupid!

Yeah... mine was rather more directly a reference to the fact that 'the wronng type of leaves/snow' are both official BR excuses.

That floods thing is all due to aquifers, by the way...

Hey dont pray on the vocabularily challenged! Its not nice!

Aquifers- natural underground reservoirs upon which the UK depends for much of its water. ONLY fill up during certain seasonal periods, regardless of the weather (well, it has to rain during the periods, of course...)

Gotcha! And the wetest eight months of the yaer would just happen not to be one of those periods right?

That;s how life goes...

And the wettest wettest the UK has been since records began over 200 years ago, apparently.

Mind you, that's because all the old records got washed away in a big flood...

Thats just not funny!

It was an adapted Simpson's joke, of COURSE it was funny...

No it wasnt!

Guess some people don't appreciate smooth joke adaption... you seem to have reacted as if I just did a dead baby joke or something.

Oh dont even get me started on them!

What, you hate them or do them?

Both!

That's... odd... bet I've heard all the ones you have, though.
