SO watch out when you get a rubbery, salty squid ring with a big purple vein down the side of it!

Calamari being squid, of course, as opposed to octopus

Steve vRS

Whoops!

I saw the BBC link and assumed it was this squid story==> http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth...00/8792008.stm

Might put my comment in post #2 into context

And you were searching for "super long and erect *****" why exactly ?

Steve vRS

Searching for "super long and erect *****" and deep sea creature!

I bet you can get a whole magazine on that in Hamburg!

Do you really think the uneducated lot on here would know the ****ing difference

Devildog

LOL True - some of them can't even differentiate between "full refund" and "resolve the issue"

At a restaurant a while back the wife ordered onion rings. She'd polished off half the plate before the waitress came out to apologise but she'd been given calamari by mistake.

Laugh?

We once had a co pilot who was trying to be all smooth when passing position reports to the Greek air traffic and when being passed to each different section. When he called them up he was trying to say Good Day in Greek and he kept saying Calamari to them. He should have been saying Kalameri!

When they were leaving Greek airspace the ground controller said " And a very good squid to you"

That's amazing.

darrell77

oh nom nom nom... i like calamari..

Leslie

Sorry if I bored you. Co pilots always get a bit of stick on a crew so you have to imagine the rest deliberately letting him carry on with his mistake and then their reaction to what the controller said. All crew members can hear the R/t. All part of life for a co pilot!

Les,

I suspect the poster was referring to the fact that the octopus was able to predict the result!

chrisowe

Yeah, sorry Les.

Leslie

Oh I see, sorry for the misunderstanding! I was jumping to conclusions of course!

Les

Geezer

I see he has predicted Spain toi won the final and Germany to win 3rd place. Sheesh, you don't need to be a psychic octopus to predict those

Geezer

Leslie

It will still be interesting to see if he gets it right. Will he survive for another 4 years I wonder!
