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!

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..?

I thought that...

Both ~~highly sarcastic~~ similar people...

saltydog · « **Reply #31 on:** February 01, 2010, 09:49:26 »

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.

saltydog · « **Reply #33 on:** February 01, 2010, 22:19:13 »

Thanks...I don't know if I should feel releived or not..

Who knows...

I wonder when WM will return from his... "holiday"...

McGherkin · « **Reply #35 on:** February 02, 2010, 08:15:37 »

Soon, according to Stu...

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2010, 23:51:33 »

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.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #37 on:** February 06, 2010, 23:55:44 »

So are you travelling on "SeaChance" then?

Have fun...

Look forward to when you find more electricity and a internet connection...

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:00:21 »

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.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:01:55 »

I generally don't deal with the staff...

The Norfolk Line vessels though are good - I do recommend them

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:08:47 »

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

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"

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:23:53 »

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

You forget tomorrow is Sunday - big problem

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:33:24 »

Take a wild guess who has lost track of the days...

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #47 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:36:19 »

hehe happens to me all the time - especially on holidays with no University - the days all mesh into one continuous day...

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:37:29 »

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].

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #49 on:** February 07, 2010, 00:40:25 »

Could you not do some of the work the next day, and thus not work flat out the day before?
