Day 40: Question

Date: Wednesday 7^th May
Staying: Camping Villaggio Dei Fiori – San Remo, Italy
Distance Travelled: 0 Miles
Song of the day: How Come – D12

I try not to get into to many Deep and Philosophical conversations these days. I tend to find they to regularly end in arguments. Now, I would much rather discuss the relative merits of a 4-4-2 formation versus a 4-3-3 formation (Football for those that don’t know. Laurie didn’t, so told me to clarify), or whether Ferrari will renew Kimi Raikonnen’s contract at the end of the year, or go for the available Fernando Alonso (which will cause me some distress)?

However, in the last month or and a bit of travel, a few relatively important questions have to come to mind which I feel need addressing:

1/ How come, no matter what part of the body you put in the sun, only certain areas tan, whilst others stay stubbornly white?!? (This is very perplexing)

2/ How come European indicators appear to be for display purposes only? Are they painted on? Do they use them for anything at all?

3/ How come Turtles have 2 different types of spine (One contracts, the other flex’s) for pulling their heads back into their shells? Why won’t one type do?

4/ How come the Glaswegian accent is so had to understand? Do they understand each other?

5/ How come the amount you pay on tolls is inversely proportional to the amount you spend on petrol, or the distance travelled on said road?

6/ How come, if you are wat you eat, I haven’t turned into one giant green olive.

7/ And what they hell does Toutes Directions means (its OK, I looked it up)

Any input is greatfully appreciated

BTW – We didn’t do anything today. Laurie was unwell, so we stayed at the campground and I nursed here back to health (which fortunately involved a lot of sitting in the sun, hence, question 1)
