Now, this might just be me......

Got it ! In these days of no gender allowed (all got to be transgender apparently !) he may have been photographing 3,000 would be women/men for research purposes .......to decide which gender to become Maybe he should've gone to either Specsavers or Thailand ...mind you, even that can be confusing as most of the ladyboys in Thailand are more female looking than the female gender (sorry, forgot there is no longer a definition between the two) .....

Since I live not far away from one of the 'naturist' camping sites in France maybe I'll do some research of my own ........

This has really brightened my day cannot stop laughing

Last line should be nae spakes in it

Rather like Enoch and Eli.
Eli met Enoch fishing in the cut. (Canal)
Caught owt?' 'E asks
A whale is the reply

Threw it back in
Why?
Weren't no good
Why
Name spakes in it.

I think Pedants Corner should be renamed Comics Corner...

Jayem..bison, basin geddit?

What a very funny post ... we need more like this. Life is too serious. Thanks to you all for making me laugh so much.

I rarely laugh at the written word, but I did at this. Thank you all, I needed cheering up.

I'm a bit of a pedant too. Both my DC have on occasion corrected posts on facebook where friends have used superfluous apostrophes etc. On one occasion having done that, my daughter added "Sorry - raised by the grammar police". That's me that is!

Hilarious!

Might be the area for 'swinging' couples. Did anyone see the article about the campsites for swingers in France? Maybe this is just the job for anyone going to one of these for their summer hols.. (n.b. pedant double full stops.)

Must have had the caravan on safari, rhinos can be a nuisance

Saw one on facebook the other day. "Caravan for sale, complete with horning". Made me laugh!

You put the plastic bison into the sink, Jayem, add some detergent (Fairy liquid, or other brand) fill up the bison with hot water, then wash the dishes, leaving them to dry on the draining board.

In a china or pyrex bison you can mix ingredients, or steam a suet pudding over a pan of water.

It is all in how you say/hear it. A washbison? A handbison?

Jayem, try Chinese whispers.

I am dislexic and love auto correct, it comes up with the most comical interpretations of my attempts at spelling. Sometimes neither of us can get it right and I have to try a different word altogether.

I have a very literate mind and no sense of humour, so I have been told!. Meaning I take things literally! So, in that case Elegran, how do you wash your dishes in a bison, never mind a buffalo!!

Oh please don't stop yet. This is the most hilarious thread that I have read yet! Thank you all for such a great larf.!

For some reason I have remembered an old old joke "What is the difference between a buffalo and a bison? You can't wash your dishes in a buffalo."

Oh! Thank you! I have been feeling rather "fraggle" as my DS puts it and this has made me laugh out loud!

I too have a Volvo and some bosons/bisons but have yet to be photographed by said person. Perhaps I don't travel by train enough [3 x a year or so!!!]

Still laughing out loud. I love Gransnet.

Thank you for the responses, must make sure I double check posts, as I have trouble with bosoms/bosons/bosuns before! (in posts, not in real life, it would be a bit worrying if I had experienced problems with nautical persons, breasts, although come to think of it I have, also not entirely sure what bosons are, apart from much valued things when combined with Higgs)

I would contact the paper in question, but I think by the time I had explained the error, I may have lost the will to live.

Funny, although I am more concerned about what he was doing, Manly, mainly or otherwise. what a perv!

Oh how I love these posts. I am definitely a pedant.? It's so good to know I am not alone.

I am in danger of waking not only DH but also the dog, sniggering (me, not the dog) at these!

How many bisons can you fit in a Volvo?
