    I'm up for the cruise. And if I were to make a load of cheese scones, I think we could repel boarders by throwing those at them.

  • What MAR would really like is an UNHEALTHY jelly baby ration each day, 'ticularly the black ones!

    How about HMS TSUNAMI for a life on the ocean wave? it would suit this gang of eccentrics down to the ground and possibly have relevance wherever we made port!

    H.M.S. Chatterbox?

    My passport is fine, still has 3 years to run...unless we won't be back within 3 years?!

    Have commandeered an awful lot of h/m wine and sloe gin for my share, and will persuade DH it is in his interests to make truffles for us too :D

    Well I was going to opt out if we were sailing on silva's boat as I get sea sick. If it's a big liner I'll be OK but I'm no good anything from a ferry down.

    Mar, we are not impressed with your idle threats. I think that the elephant is more than a match for your freezer.

    In view of the expertise of the proposed crew, may I suggest, "ABANDON HOPE."

    Ooh, I remember lillibet dripping. You are very welcome in your new incarnation.
