What have you seen that you never thought you would

I see a forum where all people know how to speak/uderstand English, but I am not ;)

Never manged to see the pine marten - but you wouldn't believe the mess I found on discovering it's nest above the bathroom ceiling in our old French house :gag:

One of the funniest things I've seen is when a guy I used to work with dropped a racing motorcycle in the paddock at Silverstone when the GP was on - riding it at walking pace :lol:

Your English has come on a very long way, my friend :thumbs:
 
I saw a female driver approach a roundabout and not stop for no reason at all:eek:
 
A few of the things in the thread brought back memories for me!

I once saw an elephant stood outside a bar in the centre of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. It seemed quite happy standing next to the drinkers!

I've seen various things on mopeds including, a family of 5, a complete wooden bed frame with the rider carrying the slats across the handlebars and just last week, a guy with 3 dogs in a box between his legs!

I once saw a guy walking round the White Rose Shooping Centre in Leeds with his own "personal" music system. He was carrying a CD player and a huge speaker under his jacket as he walked around!

My personal favourite was in Tanzania though. We came round a corner on the main highway to find a truck on its side with the driver sat on the door frame smoking and looking wistfully at the truck's load spilled all over the road!

Mr. Cobra, please explain to me why I must insert THE before the word PEOPLE?

Because you are refering to a specific group of people, that is all the people on talk photography

likewise with my correction above its 'the' , not 'a' word because you are refering to a specific word

good point well made - its that sort of thing that makes English so hard for people like oleg to learn - the number of exceptions and variations in how words are said and spelt
 
I would like to say that I never thought I's see some VERY dirty emails between my ex-wife and a bloke that worked for the same company as us (most would class as pornographic) but now I know that leopards don't change their spots ;)

On the flip side I never thought I'd see the day when I get married again :)
 
Today, I had a breast feeding lady ask me for spare change in Warsaw. That was quite an odd experience. Didn't know where to look, being British!
 
Was once followed down the m11 by a black BMW 5 series with the honey monster driving and Elmo in the passenger seat, weirdest thing I have ever seen .

Reminds me of the funny looks my friend and I got going round the M25 some years ago dressed as Andy Pandy and a Hula Hula girl.:lol:

.....and we had to drive with the windows open in November as the cat had crapped in the basket!:gag:
