    FBO I was so sorry to read your post. You've been through the ringer lately. Many hugs winding their way to you.
    P.S. If you want to join the cruise I will gladly give up my suite so you can relax instead. I think your need is greater than mine at present. xx

    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.

    Karcher, what do you mean by am I casting aspidestras on our crew? Of course I am.

    Floss, I'll fight you for Johnny Depp, and I warn you now, I fight dirty. Actually he's not really my type either, but, as my grandmother would have said, he'll pass in a crowd with a good hard push. Anyway, I'm in no position to be picky.

    nanny.w, Apparently Hester has enough wool to tie you to the prow. All you have to do is to practise singing that song - the name of which I will remember as soon as I switch off.

    Not sure about having a festival in my garden, Islandmaid. There may well be a jelly baby tree lurking in the wilderness masquerading as a garden. There could be coconuts growing for all I know.


    My grandmother used to say 'you don't look at the mantlepiece when you are stoking the fire':eek:

    Oh no Monna, you wouldn't want me singing anything. They say the Welsh are born singers, unfortunately I sound more like Foghorn Lil. Was that behind your thinking ? To tie me to the mast in foggy weather :rotfl:.

    Infinitely better than being 'Lilo Lil'

    Oh dear God - what have I started!
    Right - our boat will expand to accommodate all of us, elephant, scones, jelly babies, grog, Johnny Depp and any other fella that takes our fancies (Russel Crowe or Hugh Jackman please) Our vessel will not list as we carry inflatable jackets and the elephant will have hers tailor made so she will be weightless. NO ONE will be seasick as Monna's scones will prevent it.
    As we have such a unique and precious cargo - how about Siren Song?

    I still like Elona's suggestion of The Jolly Rolling Pin :rotfl:
    All the suggestions have been good though!

    Yay.. If that's the case then I'm in, happy to bed down in the cargo hold & take a shift on hefalump watch.. It'll be banana loaf or bakewell tart with custard as my offering to the captain :rotfl:
