    Which boiling would remove?
  2. exlondoner
    Aaaaargh.
  3. exlondoner
    Sorry, but why not ring them up or get a TA to do so?

    It is odd, isn’t it? One of the features of the 1920s was the shortening of skirts, so your rouged knees were visible (a bizarre fashion, I think), yet the theme is always on formal nights, when many women would naturally wear their long dresses, and are encouraged to do by the rubric.

    Luckily, I haven’t yet seen anyone dressed as a Pierrot on black and white night, but it may yet come. If I were on board for a Victorian night (which I never have been) and owned Victorian jewellery (which, alas, I don’t, but donations gratefully accepted), that is when I would wear it.

    Cunard haven’t had chilled fruit soups since Covid. Maybe it is a corporation wide decision. Such a shame.

    I thought the photo you showed of dinner for specially favoured invitees had table cloths? It must be said not having them is much better for the environment, if worse for elegance and noise reduction.
  8. exlondoner
    Do you get table cloths?
  9. exlondoner
    In that case why do it at all?
  10. exlondoner
    Very nice. But how did you know you needed to do that? Or was your TA especially on the ball.
  11. exlondoner
    Do they warn you that you will be mentioned in the daily show, or better still, ask your permission. I have never watched it and hence had until now no idea that happens. I certainly wouldn’t want my birthday broadcast, in the unlikely event I was on board for it.
  12. exlondoner
    Gosh, isn’t life complicated?
  13. exlondoner
    Sort of like poussin?

    Now if I had the slightest skill at photo manipulation, I could turn that glass upside down.

    I'm fascinated by what Cornish Game Hen might be. What has it to do with Cornwall? Was it shot in the wild as game might imply? Or is it really just chicken?

    Surely that stuff that gets piped into the ship at every port she stops at isn’t seawater?
  17. exlondoner
    Tut, tut.
  18. exlondoner
    That is because your mother loves you and doesn’t want to frighten you.

    I hope you get two welcome bottles of champagne, one for each sector.
  20. exlondoner
    Be afraid…
  21. exlondoner
    Well, at least it says so. Not being informed is the worst thing.
  22. exlondoner
    It’s not cute at all. It looks like a dangerous mammoth. Are you moving cabins again? Perhaps into a massive suite?
  23. exlondoner
    Well, those cruets look pretty well matched. Although I think gingerbread villages are ridiculous, I have to say I like the Cunard ones better: they are more gingerbready and less gaudy. But I would say that, wouldn’t I?
  24. exlondoner
    Good point. 🙂
  25. exlondoner
    A Twin Otter?
