Just to let you all know that I am now on holiday and won't be posting- so feel free to make as many pointless posts as you like without fear of a sarcastic response. You have WM coming back soon who will I am sure make up for it on my behalf.
Please keep the Marmite spirit alive and well (and out the hands of you know who) ;)
EDIT: Removed content.

:P :evil:
Have a good Holiday!
Now on holiday until SSE comes out.
Long holiday then ;D
WM back? I don't know whether to laugh of cry :2thumbs:
See you! (In 5 mins when you realise you are completely and utterly addicted to all of our 'charming' personas!)
-
*Insert Pointless Post Here...
Well have fun wherever you are off too... :thumbs:
-
I hope you have a wonderful time.dont hurry back. ;)

I'll be back- just as soon as you've gone ;D
Between now and June sort of time- I will be travelling probably a few thousand miles by ship... I will send reports. I will try not to mention to warm climates, chilled lager, dodgy souvenirs and bikini clad babes. I shall just stick to reports about rusty hulks of ships (no I'm not going to Piraeous) (SP)
See you! (In 5 mins when you realise you are completely and utterly addicted to all of our 'charming' personas!)
You're having a laugh there, McG :o
-
Your going to be on a long holiday. :P

Your going to be on a long holiday. :P
I deserve it...

I deserve it...
I am sure you do... ::)
-
YES!!! ;D WOHOO!!!! :D
No. im kidding. I will miss you Stuart2007 :'(
Have a nice holiday :)

Tell us where you are going we will all turn up. ::)

I'm not constantly going to be travelling- just a few trips... Firstly at least one round trip on the Pride of Bilbao, then I'm going to try the Polferries from Gdansk to Stockholm, then Viking Line to Helsinki, then back, down to Gdansk (have 10 days in Poland) then up the coast to catch the Danish overnighter, work my way across land- or possibly head for Copenhegan and catch the ferry up to Bergen... From there, I have no idea... I shall find out when I get there.
Also, I MIGHT head south at some point to Gibraltar and catch the AT ferries service (from Spain) to One of the African ports...
That should be a fair few NMs... I hate flying and quite frankly would rather walk than get on a bus with wings... If OB Laden doesn't get you, then Ryanscare charges will.... and if you escape those charges by flying with a proper airline, then the noisy kids and airport queues probably will (at least with MY blood pressure it is a real danger) :o
If anyone has any other recommendations on where to travel to, please do tell...
EDIT: Recommendations for P&O are not requested... I will make an exception for one route and one route only between now and September. Other than that, no hull, no rotterdam, no dover, no calais (not even when in the same environment)... No PO Irish sea... Err.. do po operate anywhere else? If so, then not there either. :(
-
What ever happened to WM?
-
Yes TransEuropa have the old Pride of Free Enterprise/Bruges/Picardy...
A lovely old ship... I was on the last crossing ever. But lets not get into another "why do PO get rid of all my favourite ships" >:( Still, given the age and size at least there was a reason- it genuinely was progress I'm afraid (unlike certain other withdrawals of late) :-X
I've never been to Rotterdam- or Harwich for that matter... Now there's an idea- thanks Nathan.
What ever happened to WM?
Abducted by aliens. With a bit of luck!
See you! (In 5 mins when you realise you are completely and utterly addicted to all of our 'charming' personas!)
Well, you did have a point- I'm not actually going til Monday, so you still have to put up with me for a while yet... :evil:
And thanks Capt. Best... Was that sarcasm? ;)
-

Not really :lol:

Thank you very much Captain Best. Very nice of you to say so! :)

Marmite. Bon Voyage Stuart. You deserved this 5 month vacation. We hope to see you by 6th of June for every Ship Simmers favorite return of Ship Simulator. Have Fun and bring some pics :thumbs:
-
Stuart do you not need to tell us who you are leaving incharge of your forum empire whilst you visit areas of Europe that your petty sure do not have internet access yet? ???
What staff upgrades are going to take place? CEO, chairman, secretary etc in your prolonged absence?
Who will become the new administrative representative of the United Gamers Alliance Ship Sim Forum who will become the acting replacement as chairman?
:doh:
All this to sort out before your holiday...
...anyway have a good one :thumbs:

You are a SICK MAN TFM! That is worse nearly as bad as the Red Funnel IKEA ship.
-
2 hours and 41 minutes to go.... ;D
Thanks for all the nice comments, chaps. You can be assured that I will have some nice photos to bore you with show you when I return.
Oh, Laganviking: Apparently SOME parts of Europe that I'm visiting not only have internet, but also electrickery too!...
But some places I am visiting may well have neither... :o

Look forward to seeing them :thumbs:
When are you off? Midnight?
What is your first crossing?
-
No, I'm not going to be on a ship (properly) for a few weeks yet- just away from the forum. I am involving myself in a spot of business in Poland and do not intend to wreck my
holiday work by taking my computer along...
So my first ship will be on the Dover Straits with either LD Lines, Norfolk or SeaChance. Possibly I might try them all.. Shame there are no other operators in Dover to add to that... Unless Speedferries comes back. :)
-
Tell us where you are going we will all turn up. ::)
Only if you are planning to get thrown overboard.
-
Take plenty of good pictures!
EDIT: Marmite World Tour 2010!
-
OK, well see you then when you get back...
-
You have WM coming back soon who will I am sure make up for it on my behalf.
Something smells fishy here..Could Stu be WM's alter-persona..? ;D

I thought that...
Both highly sarcastic similar people...
-
That's putting it mildly.. ;)
It would be quite possible with two accounts..
(I wonder if, out of curiousity, a mod is checking the IP adresses)
Stu's "holiday" sounds a bit strange.. It would be some coincidence if WM was to return.. ;)
-
Nah, Salty. I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong mast, mate. :)
-
Thanks...I don't know if I should feel releived or not.. :doh:
-

Who knows...
I wonder when WM will return from his... "holiday"...
-
Soon, according to Stu...
-
Righty ho.
70 minutes until I am leaving again...
Down to Dover... I will be crossing in the dark, so better avoid PO (just as I would if it were daylight)....
See you all next week... If you're UNlucky.
-
So are you travelling on "SeaChance" then?
Have fun...
Look forward to when you find more electricity and a internet connection...
-
I'm going to turn up at Dover and see...
TBH and in all seriousness, I really am not impressed with P&O lately (nothing to do with their incompetence with the Western Channel either!)
Their Dover staff are borderline surly and rude (some good, some ahem not good). Seachance always friendly (and usually tall, blonde and smiley)
Norfolk line staff? Just don't get me started. I mean it. Not at all. Anyone saying their staff are good are going to find the 'report to moderator' feature used on the basis that this is an abomination of truth to suggest that there Dover staff aren't the most rude, offensive creatures this side of Watford.
-
I generally don't deal with the staff...
The Norfolk Line vessels though are good - I do recommend them :thumbs:
-
I once had to tell a NL employee- very calmly- that she was an officious, obnoxious, Marmite devoid, nasty, incompetent, MP-like tosser...
You can't beat seachance for their shore staff.... that said, PO staff in calais are the best...
-
I am sure she loved you ;D
-
I am sure she loved you ;D
Cheers TFM. Depress someone THAT badly when they're going to travel on a ship... with open decks... at night...

I aim to please
besides according to their website, the first Seafrance crossing is at 06:00AM, and "Limited catering facilities onboard"
-
WHATTTTT>>>>>>?????????
What do they expect me to do? Sleep in the car? sod that...
Are they really not running night services now? You're having a giraffe.

^Not according to that
The car it is then...
You forget tomorrow is Sunday - big problem
-
Take a wild guess who has lost track of the days... :doh:
-
hehe happens to me all the time - especially on holidays with no University - the days all mesh into one continuous day...
-
At the moment, I'm working flat out and then the next really lazy... Doing my head no good at all... Soon I might end up like [insert name of any idiot you know].
-
Could you not do some of the work the next day, and thus not work flat out the day before?
-
Oh I never thought of that! :doh:
The company is having a bit of a re-structure at the moment, and lots of things depend on solicitors, consultants and all that load of balloons.
And the damned annoying bit is I am too reliant on other people and their timetables at the moment... I could have this stuff completed in 2 months, but it is going to take until September to complete!
-
Ouch that would be annoying
-
Hmph... and it is costing MORE than that gorgeous DB9 I've just looked at. :(
EDIT: Looked at in a magazine ;)
-
What about the Ferrari 458?
-
What about the Ferrari 458?
Don't like red cars.
-
Get it in white!
In fact, ferrari.com has a nifty flash where you can spec up a 458...
Every 458 i make has black interior with red stitching and highlights though...
It does look good in white, or how about silver?
Would sir care for a red steering wheel? Or perhaps he would like painted stereo grilles?
-
The DB7 was expensive enough. I'm not richard branson, you know... Nor an MP whos just made an expenses claim!
If I were to buy another fast car, it would be another Aston.
-
Keeping it British, I can respect that.
-
Yes... So it is either that or a Reliant...
Actually- if I am being honest, and money were no object (every time I take a divi, something comes up and I reinvest it instead (live to work)... >:()
I would buy a modern Bristol... ;D
They aren't as well known, so they don't impress neighbours so much... but MUCH more fun!!!
-
it would impress this neighbour! :thumbs:
I was looking at their Fighter T concept a while back...
270mph? Yes please! ;D
shame they won't build it...
-

No problems with speeding in it. Too fast to work a gatso and I doubt the Policstapo have anything fast enough to catch it... not even the helicopters
-
Something tells me it would be hard to keep on the road at that speed...
-
Something tells me it would be hard to keep on the road at that speed...
Well they HAVE limited it to 'only' 225mph....
The DB7 was fast enough for fun, and that has NOTHING on this car!!!
-
I think the setup on the Fighter T would stop it from handling well though. That's where the Aston comes in...
-
EH? :o a 48/52 balance between the axles. Something like 42/58 with an Aston... No.... designed for 2 different purposes there.
The Aston is designed for a bloke with more money than sense. The Bristol is designed for someone with no sense at all.
-
Right, I'm off... Keep a good watch out for stupid comments requiring sarcastic responses, for me.
Also. Please can you keep an watch on Marmite in case any fake Marmite gods return and claim Marmite as their invention in my absence. ::)
I will see you nice people (and the rest) in a week...
-
Bye Stu
See you next week ;D
-
Bye!
