I have a bit of an illness when it comes to Spongebob Squarepants. I can't stop it unfortunately. So the theme tune highlights a phrase that I have had problems with since I was very very young. Quote Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? I questioned as a child how the expression under the sea didn't refer to be being buried in the ocean floor, surely it is in the sea, not under the sea. It remains with me. Spongebob square pants has me randomly muttering in the sea whenever I hear the theme tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say "under the sea" isn't wrong if you refer to "the sea" as you are looking at the surface of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I am swimming in the sea, is it expected that my head or a foot breaks the surface, and if that is the case at what point do I stop becoming in the sea and become, under the sea? Under the sea means under the surface of the sea, but as a ten year old we didnt have google. It stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other week I spent a good 10 minutes trying to explain, with diagrams, to a girl from work that the channel tunnel is under the sea, not through the middle of it. She couldn't quite get the idea that there is land under the sea you can dig through. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to old Channel 4 coverage with him and Phil Liggitt (sp). Top road man too - saw him win National Road Race Champs at Newport (Shrops). Must have looked after his money really well as he had acquired substantial mining interests in Africa. A good friend of mine was a pro mechanic and worked with him on one of his teams. Said he was first class bloke and pretty intelligent too. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
