+wildlifewriter Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Ten least helpful things heard while geocaching "Are we there, yet?" "The last one WAS under a pile of logs." "There's no river marked on this map..." "Are you sure it's switched on?" "Ooh - that must have hurt." "I looked there, already." "Try holding it above your head." "It gets dark in fifteen minutes." "Who's blood is this?" "Oi! - get off moi laaand!"

+Simply Paul Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 "Who left that river there?" "I didn't see a 'thieves operate in this area' sign" - "Someone stole it" "I bet you wish you brought a coat" "Stop being such a baby, it's only a nettle sting" (Said to me while I was holding my groin - the nettle had gone up the leg of my shorts while I climbed off a stile) "What are you doing?" (Said in a highly suspicious voice. I blame a bit of a beard and a tan for making me look like a member of Al Quida) "If I was a sadistic bastard, where would I hide it?" - "What do you mean if?" "I've looked everywhere" - "It's a micro" - "I'll look everywhere else" "Is that legal?" - "Do I look like a Solicitor?" - "Well, you *are* a bit of a tart..." "How long will you be?" (Bit of a personal question) "Sandals? In this weather?" - "My feet are waterproof" SP

(remember this Rutson) Joan How could I possibly forget! I blame the folk who set the cache And some more: "Just a minute, it says. S...e...e.....p...h...o...t...o...f...o...r...c...l...u...e. Photo? What photo?" "We came from that way....... didn't we?" And one from yesterday: "What sort of sadistic person puts a cache at the base of cliff in dense woodland?" (I might add that the word "person" may have been replaced with another roughly synonymous word )

That would be funny, if only it wasn't real... GC8967 (I've found that cache recently, and the co-ords ARE about 20 feet out. Which is closer than this cache owner usually manages.)
