The Children's Off Topic Thread

[Stephen]

Just had a long chat with a nice lady from P&O about my 4 page missive following the fracas with the disruption we suffered due to "essential maintenance" on Aurora. They accept that it was a "communication issue" on board and engineering failed to notify the other departments so the passengers could have been forewarned. They say they have the Fleet Director on the case and he is giving the senior management team on board a bollocking (whether that actually happens is another matter!) to ensure that Merv and Stephen don't suffer the same fate.

Thanks QB.....you're all heart

[qbman1]

Everything I do, I do for you.....and Merv !

Most kind Cubie. So you'll be turning down any compo offered then? Actually you could suggest they bung it Stephen and my way as OBC. We'll be very grateful.

(NO. Not that grateful)

To be honest, we weren't after compo but want them to get it right so we don't suffer a similar fate again. I think we may have achieved that (until the next time). As I said before, we did get a perfectly acceptable hand-out on board (which I ought to keep quiet about because the others were offered a bottle of Prosecco and, when they pushed it - £25 !)

Honest, guv !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Call yourself a Goldie! You'll get drummed out of the cocktail party with an attitude like that

[qbman1]

Now, about those rabbits.......

And again ....sides now splitting

what's the point of a 4 page diatribe if you not looking for compo? , might as well have said nowt

[qbman1]

I'm so glad I cause you all such great joy !

I've already said - we've had the compo but they need to address some serious communication failings (which they say they are !)

You mean you wanted tripple compo but they were only prepared to give you a token offer of a free drink

Are you sure this is a rabbit and not a gorilla?

[qbman1]

Judging by the amount it's eating, it could be a bloody elephant !

Back from the Mid North unscathed......just.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Heading sarf to pick up new(er) car tomorrow. Must check visa

[Stephen]

I'll warn border control.......to check for smuggling

Stratford is most definitely NOT "mid north" - not even south north or even north south

[qbman1]

My, my, we certainly seem to have angered the gods ! Now the "Keeping on topic" thread has been locked. And I see we still have the Turin Shroud up above to guide us

Anything North of the M25 is all bandit country to me

[qbman1]

Stranger than fiction !

This is absolutely true - a seagull fell into a vat of curry and was dyed orange. What did they name it ? Gullfrazie !!
