    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:.

    I'll split the green and yellow ones with you NW :D

    Oh and Orlando Bloom *cough* just saying!
    Must use my stash up!

    Do you think we could persuade Marcus Wareing to come as our chef? He could test out all his new recipes on us - well, me *cough*

    Hester - I've done my 'man overboard' procedure so can recover the the elephant if Mar gets withdrawal symptoms over the jelly baby stash. Maybe it's best not to mention that I've also been the man overboard on a few occasions?

    I spent many a weekend in my teens/early 20’s being ‘railbait’ on various yachts - including more than enough time getting a fish-eye-view :rotfl:

    I was going to post about something else but as you are all off on a cruise I may as well apply to go too, my qualifications are that I once got physically sick on a full size model of a ship whilst on dry land in the Greenwich Maritime Museum, also I'm so scared of water that I used to have to hold onto the side when I used to have a bath- ( proberly should say that we only have a wet room now).

    Oh and I don't know my right from left so maybe I shouldn't be in charge of the wheel.

    BUT I do have a voice that can strip paint so will be useful as a foghorn, and of course I wont eat much, if anything. When my DS was 3 1/2 he "left home" and went next door because I was singing in the Kitchen.

    Apart from that I'll be fine x:-)

    Where are we cruising to, shipmates? I've always fancied visiting Easter Island to see the big heads....
