I\'m in Brighton

Hi guys, hope you're not working too hard. I'm on the boat in Brighton. It's very sunny (but chilly), the sea is like a mill pond, although we're not going out til tomorrow cos MrB is doing bilgey things in the bilge. So I've got my feet up, sipping something sparkling and delicious, listening to Robbie Williams' new album and eating a gorgeous home made caesar salad. Wish you were here.

Lucky you

I'm in a basement in central London. Cup of tea in my hand listening to some South African temps argue in what sounds like German. In a moment I may have to ask them to shut-up as they are keeping me awake. Pret a Manger - all day breakfast sandwich in the bin.

Speak to you tomrrow when we pass, maybe <G>.

Tomorrow?

Thought it was Sunday. Let us know when you're leaving and we'll come out to see you. Mr B says, are you sure you don't have to fuel up in Brighton en route with your petrol guzzling monster ;-)

Re: Lucky you

No dicks involved, I said Mr B's in the bilge ... and it's a well known fact that women can do almost anything with one hand ;-)

Blimey Barry..

it's just one Jet Set location to another with you isn't it? Ramsgate /Brighton/basement - how the other half live eh!

Its just a mad mad social whirl. And I haven't a thing to wear. Today the basement and with hope and dedication I can seek advancement and be made security guard - at least I would get to see some natural light then <G>.

Basement life sucks - This isn't work, it's hell with fluorescent lights, the air handling is blowing legionnaires disease all over me, the fire test panel keep cycling for the computer room and the plant blowers in the next door room make MVIIs engine sound quiet. The only fire exit route is past the gas burners heating array - so in the event of a real fire alarm I will just slit my wrists and be done with.

don't forget to make Security Guard you will be required to have a lobotomy first!

Lordy Lordy Peter

Lobotomy - ha I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. Is that what they do to make you an IT Manager?

Re: Tomorrow?

Pauline,

The chances are we will call into Brighton but most probably on the way to Eastbourne cause I'm gonna need to put some LPG in my boat to get us the rest of the way. At a guess I would say we will be there (fingers crossed) at about 10:00.
Barry assures me he will manage to get himself, SWMBO and the little un to Chichester at 07:15 for an early departure. We'll see!!

Careful, Pauline....

Saying things like "lovely weather" might upset some
people. It's raining in Atlanta and today is the US's busiest shopping day - day after Thxgiving-so I have to accompany Ms W on mindlest roaming through malls to look at discounted stuff we could buy but don't need. I'd rather be in the bilge, but it's 540 miles away.

Re: Careful, Pauline....

Now your boasting Arthur - even the biggest ships are only 30 or so decks, allowing 10 foot per deck thats at most 300 feet away from the bilge.
