Getting wet for fun (and other stuff!)

*Phew*

I go away for a long weekend to improve my Scuba qualifications and it all goes off!

I recently qualified through PADI as a basic open water scuba diver and went away for a few days to do the advanced course.

I went to a place in England called Stoney Cove. I would post a link, but they don't have a website! It's a former quarry that's been flooded and filled with various wrecks to explore. There's a old Sea-king style helicopter, a bus, a cessna light airplane and a tugboat for starters. I crawled all over the wrecks and thoroughly enjoyed myself even if it was a bit cold. I was very glad of my dry-suit.

Now I've come back and found that Sam and Dave have been playing around in chat. It took me an hour or so to read all the various posts on the subject and I have nothing really to add except perhaps,

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE. IT WAS ONLY A JOKE!

I see you americans STILL don't know who's going to be your next president. At least Bill Clinton is still there to keep things ticking over till Albya Gosh can be confirmed.

On another note, the vast majority of cars in the UK are manual transmission and if you only learnt auto, you aren't allowed to drive manual. What's the rule in the US?

I don't think I could name any US senators except perhaps Ted Kennedy, but then I don't know who my MP is either!
