Sometimes when I want attention I make up lies about things that happened to me on holiday too.
Attack of the killer jellyfish! Missive from Spain! What is your lamest/greatest holiday mishap??
It´s not a lie Jack!!
Apart from the words attack and killer in the title mebbe!! 
But i DID get stung by three of the critters at the same time! But they weren´t the deadly variety i.e. the Portugese Man O´War or i would be .. like dead. And i´m not!! In fact i enjoyed a hearty supper! 
Btw a Man O´War was caught off the Cornish coast a few weeks ago -that has never happened before! Fecking global warming!
P´haps you are just jealous you haven´t got into more trouble on hol yourself?? Surely you must have? I thought you were a walking disaster area - don´t let me down now!

I would rather swim with the fishes thanks!! 
Swimming with fish = good.
Swimming with jellyfish = v. v. bad
Fancied a go at scuba diving but even an intro session is dead pricey i.e. 60€ and i think my glasses would get in the way - unless you can get special goggles they fit beneath?
Anyway...
As a child on vacation in Yellowstone Park with my fam, I was feeding a herd of marmots and one couldn't wait for the piece of bread to hit the dirt and bit my finger. I cried and cried and havn't excactly trusted rodents since. However when I look back, my humanizing the little bastards was foolhardy at best and I probably contributed to many other "marmot attacks", maybe anuff to merit a special show on the fox network.

I know i know they are actually a colony of weird lil lifeforms tho they are given the umbrella name of jellyfish.. just to make life easier.. The main floaty bit looks exactly like a plastic bag.. creepily so..
I know i shouldn't have gone in the water - i was just pissed at the lil critters for spoiling the day - however the next day the weather was a lot better and they had gone!! 
Sweet story Boze...
Anyone else apart from you and Jambo?

The US army invaded Ibiza? Well...even a broken clock's right twice a day.
I don't think they'd bother - there isn't much oil.
Interesting point tho - have never come across any US visitors to Ibiza any time yet plenty of Europeans and latinos etc etc.
The only invasion was the crazy early morning sortie on the sunbeds with the towel placement to reserve - a practice i find, like, really really lame and i got into a row with a chav about it cos the pool area was full of sunbeds covered in towels and no people in sight as it was inclement so i moved this towel and this chav challenged me on it. 
He said i wasn't a very nice lady.

Well if you're afraid to challenge a German for a sun lounger then you don't deserve one.
Eh?? He challenged me and i am not a German!!!! ( Nor he - he was from Newcastle like most of the guests.. )
Anyway i sooooo won and he was with tons of friends and i was alone.... maan i was like soooo cool.
I said "look at all these towels lying here on these beds...are the towels enjoying the view??? CAN the towels enjoy the view??? "
So he said it was a hotel rule and i said it was a stupid rule so he said was i not gonna follow it then and i said no i wasn't which is when he said i wasn't a nice lady.

Yeah well they only have 2 weeks to "do Yurp" so they go to London, Paris and Venice then fuck off back to Shitsville Iowa.
The sad thing is the Americans who visit Europe are the less insular ones, they've actually dared to leave their own wonderful country, but fuck some of them are retards. Canadian are cool OTOH, it's like they try extra hard to be better than the Yanks, sort of like the Kiwis compared to us but they just drink more which isn't that endearing
19yo Seppo idiot in a Berlin Youth Hostel in 2004: "Now we're in Iraq we have to support the troops"
Me: "Why? [+other criticism of war I can't remember]"
Seppo: "You're just anti-American"
Me: "Yes, but I'm anti-Australian too"
Seppo: "How can you be anti-Australian, it's such a cool country"

I used to work at central telephone enquiries for railway info - Yanks "doing the UK" would only ever go to London, Oxford, Stonehenge and Edinburgh. Ever.
I remember explaining to some American tourists getting on the train in Oxford that no, in fact Stonehenge doesn't have its own train station.
Buenos dias peeps!!
I am still in Spain but a spot of inclement weather has temp. bought me back into your bosom!!
This keyboard is well weird and also i can start a topic it seems but not post in response to others - pretty weird!
So i was brave yet foolhardy today!! Desperate for a swim in the warm, clear, buoyant i.e. very salty waters of my paradise beach,despite the drizzle (don´t have emoticons on this machine but that would be a sad one! ) i went for a swim despite there being like, tons of jellyfish all over the place! Even more than last year and there were a lot then!! Urgh! I was the only person that dared to try and actually swim and i made it for about three mins or so before getting stung by three of the lil buggers simultaneously! Ouch! My left foot, right elbow and right leg - that was the worst one - the tentacle marks wrapped right around my leg and have only just faded - urgh! - it looked hideous!
Luckily i did not have to find anyone to urinate on me which is just as well cos unlike revol i am not in to that sort of umm love play! Heh! No Lanacane was my soothing friend!
Soo what hol mishaps would you like to share - or anything involving being attacked by another species???
i tell you it is well creepy being attacked in the big blue - y´know the creature from the deep etc! I mean you gotta hand it to jellyfish -they have been around a long time - since the Ordovician i believe?? But i just wish they hadn´t been around today!!!
