Meeting in Holland, 25-26/11

[Fran]

only poofs are seasick

... and gimps evidently.

On the gimp topic (which we werent exactly) I was showing someone some Le Mans pics and the following conversation ensued:

Friend:   Where is that?
Fran:      Le Mans
Friend:   But there is a gimp!
Fran:      Yes
Friend:   But why is there a gimp?
Fran:      He is always there
Friend:   Oh............ (silence)


 

[Andy Zarse]

Bob, whilst I can't speak for the Gimp who goes green at the sight of a deep bath, I'm personally not a land lubber. I'll be out there battling on the highseas for three and a half days later this week; I'm out on the Atlantic/Biscay from wed through saturday. And I dispute that flying is an easy option especially on Sleazyjet and their stunt pilots flying round knackered on maximum allowed hours. Anything can happen!

PS I hear that old Crazy Walt Raleigh was a bit of a puff too, he started all this rum sodomy and the lash business.

Indeed he is, although the mask itself went missing for the Classic. Fortunately it's turned up again, panic over, it should be coming to Holland with us.

What a bunch of landlubbers, and there's me thinking that us British were a sea faring nation.

.......... only poofs are seasick

I think on the subject of great British seafarers, dear old Nelson himself was invariably seasick.   So there!!

I believe that his last words before shuffling off this mortal coil were "Kiss me Hardy"  Couple this fact with the statement that you have just made and I think my point is proven.

[Fran]

"Kiss me Hardy" 

Kismet..........KISMET..... ("the magnetic attractive force that actualizes the playing out of karma; often used in the positive sense ")

Philistine!!!!!

The ferry that me and bob are planning on taking is a HUGE catermaran so you should not have any problems with sea sickness.

Stena Line is the most stupid ferry company I ever stumbled on. They quoted me €680.00 for the Donington trip, and for next year they quoted me €80 for a motorbike and €90 for a 5 foot motorbike trailer, both single way!

They must have too many customers to choose from

[rcutler]

Cars on that line are WAY too expensive mainly because all the flower lorries use it to bring the flowers into the UK as fresh as possible.

what you want is what you get

Stena Line is indeed one of our ways of transport to the UK

[Fran]

But for how long? Phoned one of the managers of Stena about the above mentioned, and she told me as from January the HSS Discovery is gone from the HvH - Harwich line. No more speedy truck deliveries

[Andy]

PS Doris, Can you rub the stress out of my bones please, my body needs to be in full drinking order.
