Very nice Stevie:) , when you say "no charge for cabin safe or excursions" I take it that its not run by Thomsons then ? :p

If it was you can bet they would charge for them parachute thingys on the way home .

Do they do local departures from the local airport ? Donny would be fine providing departure is not to early ,all that rocket

noise would upset the locals around here .

I notice you say no beer onboard for six months ,just a temporary ban then ? Bit like thomson again really :p.

So where do we stop off for a drink up there Stevie and have they got a Showbar ? A space invader machine ;)?

Must admit the skybar has very good views :D.

May book it not sure yet :cool:.

Rocket Man: Canada's top astronaut Chris Hadfield .

 

 

Mr. Hadfield is the type of people we should be looking up to and gain inspiration from. We place way too much emphasis and energy on worshiping and admiring athletes, movie stars, and the such. Bravo Mr. Hadfield for yours and all astronauts hard work

above comment on u tube site not my words but I agree

ground control to major thoms

ground control to major thoms

put your helmets on

 

ground control to major thoms

commencing cruise season, engines on

check the ai menu and may gods love be with you

 

ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

 

passengers to major thoms

youve really not made the platinum grade

and the papers want to know why your ship was described as new?

now it’s time to offer a loyalty scheme if you dare

 

this is major thoms to anyone who will listen

we have spent millions on a fantastic platinum upgrade

now our ships are floating in a most peculiar way?

and the ai looks very different today

 

for here

 

we are paying all these new supplements, to drink from a tin can

at a price far above the moon

the price makes us blue

and there’s nothing we can do

 

passengers to major thoms

your circuit’s dead there’s something wrong

can you hear us major thoms?

can you hear us major thom?

can you hear......

 

:D:D

wow...live streaming from the international space station straight to your laptop...isnt technology amazing!:cool:

 

I believe Branson will be offering shorex there sometime?

 

Can you imagine if Thoms were to offer that?.....'just so you know, there will be a charge for the air that you breathe plus 2%, please dont bring your own air as it will be removed by security at the gangway and returned to you on your last day!';):D

Stevie, I have been a long time follower of the ISS and regulary follow cmd Hadfiels tweets. pity he has now left the ISS.

 

The times we used to stand outside the Pub or club watching the ISS race over is an amazement of wonder knowing there are 6 people on board that "ship" racing over us at 17K mph.

 

For anybody else that wants to follow, list below with times not all AM some PM and believe me when it says (say) 21:04 it will be that time it's so accurate.

Dear Mrs Deccaman

 

I hope your husband is now back in your home and no harm came to any police dogs due to the garden incident :rolleyes:

 

I know it must have been unpleasant to have your husband stood in the garden laughing whilst the neighbours shook their heads

thinking he's been on that CC site again.

Sorry about that as I know how you feel ,laughter can be embarrassing at times :o

Only the other day I was sat in a Omaras cafe telling this guy how Thomson Dream had now gone platinum !

 

New kettle , little flat TV ,less AI :rolleyes:

 

I think he took it well ...

;) Think he cruises with Princess :D
