"I'm sorry but it's really not fair on other visitors to close the door to the children's room and hold a private picnic birthday party. And it's a lovely cake, but your candles might set off the fire alarms. I'll give you a few minute, but you will need to pack up the food and let other children in."
"We all paid to come in here, so we'll pack up when we've finished. Thank you." For some people, no amount of "no food" signs will ever register, as they continue to act as living examples that common sense really isn't that common. P.S. The building has previously burnt down, so the attendant was, understandably, a bit twitchy about people having lit candles in a room full of dressing up clothes, soft toys and fake plants. Incidentally, August means happy 2nd birthday to Attendants View!

And the reason to go and stand behind David to see what's on the back of his plinth is explained here
Somewhat adapted from a great tale told to me by someone working in a castle. Still repelling invaders.
King Arthur's Stone! For me the mention of a stone with inscriptions and ogham got me fired up, for my other half it was the myth of Slaughterbridge. We drove to the car park, took one look at the MDF knight on horseback, sort of fencepanel and shed ensemble, with slightly sorry looking signs, and drove off to Boscastle.
Looking at the website since, there might be a lot of very well thought out and reasonably well presented stuff beyond that potholed piece of ground and visible buildings. Sadly the welcome is so poor we assumed it would be a bit of a rip off to look at some idealised MDF cutouts, read the myths presented as bonkers fact, and admire a field. Perhaps next time we'll give it a go! No comic today, although there was an unexpected midweek comic a couple of days ago. So in the meantime, welcome to a very not suitable for work, or pretty much suitable for anyone, museum.
"The Icelandic Phallological Museum is probably the only museum in the world to contain a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal found in a single country." It began as a laugh, and now is For Science! Er.,. and sort of giggles. Browse, and share the humour/horror of this unusual visitor attraction! |
