"The great communicator" doing his thing...

[Jim Rosenthal]

So a guy walks in a bar and asks the bartender, who he knows, if they have any new drinks on the menu. And the bartender says, sure, we've got a new one called the Weapon Of Mass Destruction. Wanna try it?

The guy says, sure, what's in it? And the bartender says, well, it's got vodka, rum, gin, Triple Sec, Galliano, Cointreau, Irish whiskey, absinthe, and a few other things I can't tell you.

So the guy says, sure, I'll try one. And the bartender says......




Sorry, we don't have any.....

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Of course not! Better have a beer instead.

Why did they keep it under wraps, that Blair was the godfather to Murdoch's little angel?

And some folk here think that conspiracy theorists are all mad!

 

[Keith]

I never knew that...

I am still reeling from the knowledge that he laid down with The Guppy.

Here she is, negotiating a price for a quick bang with Teflon Tony :yuck:

 

[Mark]

Please edit your post Keith and remove that awful woman's image from my sight. Please :/

 

[Keith]

Which one?

 

[Larry L.]

Forgive my ignorance, but, I'm still trying to figure out who that dame is. 'Never seen her before. 'Care to clue a yankee in?

('Looks a bit like Betty Davis 'back-in-the-day'! lol!)

 

[Jack]

Eye bleach is on sale...

We are not allowed to mention it's name else we will be blinded and turned to dust.

Guppy will have to suffice I'm afraid...

Eye Bleach. Jack has it..he knows and even he daren't

Oh, but we are all just pawns, toyed with and manipulated by inhuman examples of utterly self-loving pond-life such as those two hypocrites.

Please explain how that man still has a job representing our great nation!? Look it up. It's outrageous, the levels to which some people are allowed to reach!

And the morons that are us all, just let it happen.

 

[Mark]

Again, I find myself dreaming of the boat, the sea and quiet little cove in which to moor her.

 

[Jack]

Yes Mark. I find myself thinking about building a little shanty boat and disappearing!

That is also something that I ponder from time to time. How do we let it happen.
We have an election coming up and once more the voter is confronted with a mediocre choice of the lesser of two evils, or to vote for an independent who will have little or no effect.
The sheeple who don't give a rats about policy will vote for the candidate who has the best smile or social media personality.

A sad state of affairs. The solution? I have no idea...maybe back to the days when only landed gentry could vote?

Yes, Jack, Bora Bora is very nice, the water 98.6 degrees, the air 98.6 degrees....







"What would the great world miss, would they even know.........

If we stayed in the opal morning, floating forever so.........."

 

[Jack]

There are far worse places. That would suit me fine!

This is so familiar, but I can't think of where it came from. Old age I guess..
Help me out here Jim.

On our honeymoon Frances and I went to Tahiti on the "Windsong", a beautiful four masted Cruise Ship.

Each night they would turn down the bed, leave some chocolate and a poem.

That one was our favorite and really seemed to capture how we feel about Tahiti.

I'm not sure who wrote it or even if I have quoted it correctly, but we just love it.



As I understand, a few years back they had an engine room fire and the cost to repair was too high, so the took Her out and sank her off Morea.

A sad end to a beautiful ship!

In the end, I guess the Morea Channel has to be better than an Indian Ship breaker

 

[Mark]

Being English and by definition, afraid of sunlight, I prefer the idea of exploring the waters around vancouver Island in a 70' hatteras flush deck MY, over those hot places where folks go to get married.

Nice honeymoon though Jim.

 

[Mark]

As I write this, my son Jack (just turned 21 last week), is in the North Sea, sailing this 68' Ketch down to the Med.

Say a prayer! :thumbsup:

 

[Mark]

Am I the KING of thread drift?
