think we need a party!! how about a canal trip?

Morning all. Where are you you landlubbers - still below decks with the ship's cat, the burly fireman and I hear on the grapevine we have a cabin boy.

I'm ready for an egg and bacon buttie and a mug of tea.

You've had enough of a lie in.

Heave ho me hearties see you all bright and early tomorrow.

Glad the vodka jellies had the desired effect, Alie. Did you give some to the cat? What's more important did you leave any for me?

NanKate if we havnt been arrested then I shall see where the next locks are.....slepe well all......I don't even know who w ehave on board....Im sure we have stow aways!! who will no doubt show them selves when breakfast arrives goodnight shipmates...last orders now.. more vodka jellies slupsssssssssss....oh heck I am seeing triple... adios....

When I get the paper tomorrow I will check the runners for the GN and choose my horse, checking of course that no one else has got there first.

Here is a warning I am very chirpy and bright in the morning so I don't want any droopy drawers complaining of headaches and jippy tums.

Where will we be passing through tomorrow Bikergran ? I am not familiar with Up North so I expect a bit of a cultural trip and maybe a stop off at somewhere of interest, such as a trip round a brewery or the local Fire Station.

I shouldn't have finished those vodka jelllllies......not a good idea, felling wobly....gonna take my cat and do find a bunk - go sleep.

tiggy I have a funny feeling you have found my secret stash of Champers....you sound very drunk intoxicated I think you need to go to the Captains quarters and sleep it off....New Zealand hmm..

They must have come from New Zealand, but it isn't a pub - it's a beer!

I just have to say that, whatever state of sleepiness I am in, if food and hiccy stuff is around then I MUST be woken up in order to stop the rest of you eating/drinking too much.

There must be a joke somewhere about ''THE MONKS HABIT'' but I can't think of nun.

See ...................! I'm sober again !!

tiggy it's ok not too worry, just glad you hadn't slipped off with one of the Firmen whoops slip of the tongue again tee hee...fireman as you know they are!! for sharing! glad you rem auto pilot good gal.Sorry but think you must have been in your drunken state siesta stage when we went through Skipton..the locals passed all Fish n chips n mushy peas and delicious they were too! but we will be mooring up for the night within the next house as daylight is fading..theres a local pub a few miles down canal.."THE MONKS HABIT" strange name for a pub! but there you go

Sorry Biker I was just having a quick nap drunken stupor. Did remember to put the ship on auto pilot first and now ready for a some of that hamper and a few more jellies. Any champers left ?
Have we passed Skipton and where are we tying up for the night?

I'm going for Tidal Bay.....
....should go swimmingly!

Think anno was just stirring it, then!

My money is on Chance du Roy as I've studied the form like the colours

ahoy mi hearties,,Im back.....did someone mention food!

Alie I love cats

ur right,,,famous chef as about to board later tonight..not sure whos bunk he's in (mine!! mine!!) biker pushes away all others and stands in front of que with utensils
Was going to ask "Gordon" but then thought ohh no no GNetters don't want to hear all that "nice" language although bet they could stand their ground
NanKate bring out the rollings stones,whos going to play Mick?
wheres the microphone..we can have Karaoke first prize you get to swap places with the Captain..have we got a Captain..?? wheres that Tiggy gone? and why is the deck littered with empty I repeat empty vodka jelly cartons! whoops thing my headmistress is coming out in me..lol lol must be the champers

Don't forget the hamper - though how many it will feed I don't know.

It isn't Harrods, it's better - Fortnum and Mason......couldn't quite run to the St James Hamper, it's their Belgravia one. (Look it up)
Cor.

And yes, let's get GN on the GN race.
Do we get the horse we name first?

I think Bikergran may have got a famous chef in the gally to rustle up something if we don't pass a chippie on the way.

Shall we have a sweepstake on the Grand National tomorrow with Toy Town money ?

What's for dinner ? I need something to soak up the liquid lunch.

Get some music on someone! Where is it?

I'm more Rolling Stones (the early stuff) than Abba, but I am happy to dance to a good mix of music tonight. Are we likely to pass any fish and chip shops for our supper ? The Harrods hamper sounds fun too.

One of the Water Police reminds me of Gene Hunt from Life on Mars - he may be a bit rough but we could have fun with him.

That must explain why I have had 'Aga doo' in my head all day........now it becomes clear.....

If biker tries anything with my cat, better watch out!

well apparently us GNetters are all full od wind

OH!! I now know why? the folk were waving frantically...!! tiggy was using the porthole without the screen round!! they could see all her nether regions..oh deary me

Mainsail? You'd never get a sail under those bridges, tiggy. Hasn't this thing got a jet engine? Has anyone looked for it?

Take care of your cat, Alie. I am sure that biker was planning to do some cat-swinging!
