No problem - just head norwest when we leave NZ! Not sure which way to come back yet as want to avoid the Indian Ocean as their pirates are very nasty and we have priceless cargo with Monna, the elephant and Mar's jelly babiesSmall victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0

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*
No. No and thrice NO!!!!
Have you seen the delights our very own Islandmaid cooks up??:A :drool:
I have waited a long while to sample her fine fare...so this will be my chance
Maybe we'll employ someone else a few days a week just so IM can have a bit of a restxx

Where are we cruising to, shipmates? I've always fancied visiting Easter Island to see the big heads....
Actually Cocketts, I don't think that you need to go that far to see the big heads. I know of some much closer to home.
Well, you seem to have got the route worked out.I can see that I will have to pack my grass skirt, not to mention me posh frock for eating at the captain's table.
Could we drop into Thassos on our way past Greece.I left my sunglasses there in 1967 and I'd like to see if anyone's handed them in.
Silva, It's nice of you to worry about me meeting the bloodcurdling pirates, but will you just butt out. I have my own way of dealing with the mad, bad and dangerous to know, thank you very much. Just because you fancy J.Depp Esq, and dont want any competition........................
What's all this nonsense about having to edit within 5 seconds of discovering that you've made a boo boo. Who are these people that make up these rules?I believe that friends are quiet angels

Karcher very flattering, but I am sure Monna not I will complain if Marcus wants to wave some pots too - after all he needs to keep his hand in :rotfl::rotfl:
Can we do a lap of the Island too, I’d like to wave to friends and family from the sun deck xNote to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

There's a thread in "Site Feedback" called "What's up with this forum?". MSE Andrea is asking us to please bear with the changes as they are only temporary. (sorry about the split infinitive monna, but "please to bear" doesn't sound right!)
I'm happy to say I've got the old-look forum back again :T0 -
Speak for yourself, it takes me a few days if my recent desert/dessert indiscretion is anything to go by
