FUNNY THINGS

Scenario: Becs and Irish doing the washing up at a campsite in Namibia when Smithers and Whits see Becs point to a bright light in the trees and claim that the moon looks amazing ... yeah it does Becs, but that's a streetlight that you're pointing at!

Scenario.. Paris, Smithers, Whit's, Pip and Nicky are in a taxi in Cape Town on the way up to the bottom cable car station. We establish the mountain is 1000m high. Bec's then asks "So a 1000m. How many kilometers is that then?" Er.... One, Becs!

Scenario: Smithers and Whits chilling in the sea on Koh Chang trying to decide whether to visit the local waterfalls or not. Whits says it might be a good idea as she doesn't think she has been to a waterfall before ... no only Vic Falls Whits, one of the seven wonders of the world!

The girls are in Chatuchak Market in Bangkok when Bec's jokes "I wonder if we'll find Mogwai's (Gismo's) in here!" Whitters replies in earnest "Do you think we will?" Becs is blown away. She can't quite work out if Whitters is having her on or double bluffing her. However, it transpires Whits really did think a Mogwai was a real animal, which after midnight turns into a gremlin and has babies if it comes into contact with water!

Scenario... Whitter's, Bec's and Smithers in a book shop in Hanoi looking for books for book club. We're in the childrens section and we spy a book called 'The turn of the screw', Bec's comments that it's like 'The return of the Shrew', whereby Whitters explains that we think she means 'The taming of The Shrew'!

Bec's, Smithers, Whit's, Derek, Paul, Wig and Bulk are sitting in City View restaurant working out how to pay for dinner when Derek asks whether we should just split it seven ways. We agree. Becs takes control of the divisions but not before asking how many of there are. Seven, Becs!
