Some taxis in Kuala Lumpur bear two signs, NO SMOKING and NO FARTING, each sign also bears a small illustration.

All marvellous.

I once heard a driver on a tube train announce the destinaiton in English, and then say:

'Here is the same announcement for our French visitors: zis traaain iz on the ze Metrrrropolitain Lern, stoppeen at Ladbrerk Gruve, Lateemer Rerd adn all staseyerns to 'ammersmit'

Made my day.

Continiung that theme - many years ago I heard the announcer at Glasgow Central Station say:

"We apologise for the late running of the 15.30 from Edinburgh. This is due to management incompetence."

I have a little dog called Zoomie and every time I type his name into Word or an email the spellcheckers go frantic trying to 'correct' it to Zombie!!!

Thing is, it's turned into a brain-worm for me and he now answers to Zombie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


(yes - I do stand in the woods shouting 'ZOMBIE!!!!!'
