  • You'll have to get the hefferlump off the treadmill in the hold first MAR, how else is the ship going to be powered?
  • Maybe we need to hire t he QE2, that way there'd be room for all of us, the elephant and enough jelly babies for Mar.
    Can I bring a bag of wool with me?

    A neighbour has just dropped a bag of wool off for me, CHS'S not best pleased but too polite to say anything to her. Never mind I'm keeping him busy, no not like that! he's filling the water tank and I'm running the washing machine, he'll be out in the rain for hours, oops.

    Sometimes when people give me wool I smile politely and then think ' oh bu&&er what can I do with that'. This time I took one look in the bag and could immediately 'see' what it would make.

    If we strayed into dangerous waters on our boat I have enough wool to tie up lots of pirates, someone else can have Johnny Depp, he's not my type.
    Chin up, Titus out.

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

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

    Lillibet dripping! Still have two mad springer spaniels who still insist on speaking 'Docky'!!x

    Oh brilliant! Good to have you back!

    Though with the weather most of us have had lately, perhaps you should have renamed yourself "lillibet still dripping" :D

    Oh dear what have I started ! All I suggested was a gentle world cruise for medicinal purposes ;).
    Now we've got Mar holed up in the hold, with the booze AND the jelly babies. Not cool 'cos I love the green ones. Do you have a secret knock Mar ?
    There's a hefferlump , a can can girl, a sea shanty singer and now Johnny Depp . You'll be asking for Leonardo Dicaprio next......... ohhh can I do the Kate Winslet flying thingy, but I hope we don't capsize, what with the hefferlump on board :eek:. Perhaps we should have two of them, you know one each end of the ship, just for balance :rotfl:.
    Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently

    No wonder I am feeling sick today. I'm not taking the tablets (for feeling sick) today they make me feel worse.

    I do not feel like crossing the Atlantic in a small boat especially if the elephant is making it list to one side!

    Welcome back lillibet . I shall still call you that.

    I have gin! Oh and jam sandwiches. Late DH was a submariner and got really seasick for the first few days. He would eat jam sandwiches as they tasted better on the way back up!

    Who's going to do the cooking?
