The caves and stuff
















We went to the Oregon caves yesterday. The caves were pretty good but the ranger who took us round was a bit of a pain. He got a little confused about the difference between Irish, English and Scottish. He would be saying "top of the morn to ye" no thats Irish. Then a little later going down some steep stairs"tally ho!" no that English.When we reached the largest cavern we all stood in a semi circle, then he asked if anyone would like to sing as "it would sound great here" some guy stood forward and made a crow noise in memory of his dad, who used to do it when the went for walks or something along those lines. Then ranger Bob turned to us and said "what about you guys from Scatland" Kelly then said to the group "i think Craig wants to sing a Scottish song" what song is he going to sing......Kelly replies "DONALD FARS YER TROOSERS" at this piont after being so pleased that i have been volunteered for this lovelly Scottish song i wish the cave would open up and swallow me..or Kelly..ha! I of course had to decline by stepping forward and in my best Scottish tongue say"NAE CHUNCE"Instead some guy stood forward and sung the full version of Star Spangled Banner and eveyone(except the 2 jocks) joined in to a round of applause at the end....class!!
