I'm quite interested to know how someone in New York knows anything about Goole docks!!!

I live about 10 miles from there and have to drive by sometimes, Couldn't help laughing!!! Sorry, totally unrelated to thread, Goole docks, ha ha.

 

It's a long story :)

 

My enthusiasm for all things Goole has clearly crossed the Atlantic.

And so it should??

[Cruachan]

And so it should??

 

Indeed!

 

By the way - all the best for 16 May. I hope you get a good turnout. As we will have passed through Soton on our way north on 2 May, I can't think that we could get back down again on 16th but hope you have a great time anyway.

So well known and respected is Jimmy's enthusiam for this place that he has been awarded the honorary distinction of "Ginn Gann Gooley Gooley Gooley Gooley Wotsit" and is greeted everywhere in that fair town by aclamations of 'Ginn Gann Gooole! Ginn Gann Goooole' *during the annual Rustbucket Recognition Ceremony which takes place on the first Wednesday after the Gibbous Moon within the octave of Michaelmas.

Not a lot of people know that.

 

* This post is somewhat uk-centric and I apologise unreservedly to the Cousins. But really guys, it's no bigdeal, believe me.

That's right, J. I've even heard of Goole. He is a spirit that flies around northern England, trying to bother all the British sailors. They try to avoid him like the plague. Rumor has it, though, if anyone is able to photograph him, he will cease to exist, but he's a sly old phantom and thus far, has been successful in avoiding his demise.:cool:

sorry to have offended...I will move on..

Savoia, By any chance is your real name Tina and did you create a phony website with a forum with phony members on it? :p Regards,Jerry

Well, we New Yorkers pride ourselves on having a well-developed knowledge of all the hot spots around the globe.:D Have you done the boat tour?:)

Say, if you are in fact cancelling the upcoming trip on QV out of fear of her splitting in two, you could organize a CC Meet and Greet on the Goole Docks boat tour. Start a Roll Call and all that..."Other Cruise Lines" board, I should think.;) Or start a contest to give away a free trip?:eek:

This is Yorkshire we're talking about. "Free" is not a word that has an entry in the Yorkshire dictionary.

I would sail and feel safer on the QV with cracks than many of the other "tin buckets" with no cracks. Just my 2 cents from a Jersey guy ;)
