You would'nt want to go with that lot anyway .. think it was a Borstal outing to show the bad boys what they could achieve if they behaved!

Is this another one of those secret societies which good sorts like you and I would never be able to join?

I did enquire about Jimi's inclusion and was told "he was being taken care of".
It was unclear if this meant he was having another course of ECT, was being fitted for cement overshoes or was included in the free trip to the Caribean... (just joking).

I was just packing our bags for the trip to the Caribbean. How much factor 8 are you taking? There's a special 2 for 1 offer so I thought I'd get a dozen or so. Did I hear Joe say we didn't need to bring towels or pillows?
Can't remember if you or I were bringing the ganja?

As promised, I'm bringing the Bob Marley CDs. I note the no pillows/towels info, but will we need sleeping bags?

Decisons decisions - will it be the salt water or fresh water pool? Will the drinks be better than on the Aurora? Black tie or white tie for dinner? You wont be allowed the stillettos on the teak....

Well, I'm in the master cabin and Joe promised to fit rubber undersheets for my, errm, little problem. So I'm not going to bother with a sleeping bag myself.

I'm going for the fresh water pool myself, reckon that verucca of mine should clear up nicely by the time we get there. Did you remember the dart board?

Aw, i'm sorry. A bit thoughtless i suppose, sorry. But of course, it's down to the inviter really, not down to invitees, and i had no control over the list. Joe did say we could bring another person along priovided that they weren't likely to go ape. However, he did say that he would put his foot down at the wife's sister's niece's best friend's poodle's hairdresser's brother-in-law's mate, which i took to be a specific exclusion of you. Note - it's a monohull so presumably of no interest to you as its bound to not be spacious enough? Anyway, you didn't invite us transat to brazil, and we're all still a bit upset about that. Pick any of these excuses.

But you could have said my name was Jimi and I would have tried my best to roll my R's and babble on using a funny accent.

No but that nice inlaid marquetry table made by that Lindley chap turns over to make a card table. Guess they wouldnt mind if we threw a few darts at it - we could also try and hit the inlaid islands on the bedroom wardrobe doors.
ps liked the way the master cabin had a his and hers hanging space and bathroom but they had to slum it and share the bed. Cheap, or what?

Re: far too risky
Not a hope! No crap hat PLUS you also paid for your your meal the other day, so anyone would've guessed you aren't jimi....There again, you are quite short and fairly rude as well. Could you have bought a rubbish hat at a charity shop? What about a road atlas?

Re: tsk!
far too sensible and new. Needs to be ill fitting and just horrible - it shouldn't really look like a hat.

Just received this from my new friend, he's a deckhand on Mirabella V. Looks like if you want to see her you'll have to be ready to go anytime Wednesday onwards. Let me know, you owe me big time!
<Hi Tom
Good to meet you too.
Really sorry to hear that your mates missed out on the tour Saturday. I've had a word with the skipper, he's a bit tetchy as preparations are in hand for our Atlantic trip. Also, we've had so many requests for visits he's had to put a lid on them.
There is one possibility. Joe donated a Mirabella V tour as a charity prize, and it was won by the Womens Institute Blackpool. This is scheduled for later this week hopefully. 3 of them have had to drop out. Could your friends disguise themselves - it would only be until we get them onboard?
I'll know for sure if this is still on by tomorrow night and let you know. I'll put 'Joan' Perry and 'Jemima' Robertson on the list.
