not sure how she planned on boarding if she did make it

 

btw no jokes on website - it was sent to me - I swear

[Lizzie68]

I just finished reading this. And after all that, it turned out her husband was not onboard anyway. Guess he decided to fly home too.

very strange story all round, i thought it was april fools at first

[Clarea]

Such an odd story.

I'd like to hear the conversation when they finally meet again! :D

Wow-that's quite a story! To be a fly on the wall when her and her husband see each other again. :eek:

This sounds like something that would have happened in the episode of Keeping up Appearances when Hyacinth and Richard go on the cruise!

Saw this on another forum, it's almost hard to believe. The woman must be mad.

She thought she could swim to the ship?:confused::confused::confused:

 

Gosh, my handbag would more likely drown me than save me!:D

[sppunk]

This whole thing sounds fishy.

 

But I LOVE!!!! the name of the ship she was trying to catch was Marco Polo.

It really makes you wonder doesn't it. Not only did she decided to keep swimming, her husband left without her.

 

There has to be another story there! ;) He buys a ticket home and she decides to stay for the rest of the voyage to Britain.....

While swimming she was calling 'Marco'...........................................

........................................................................................'Polo'

Yea, my bad, I think the mods caught it and combined the threads.

It was worth repeating anyway.:D I think we all want to know what happens when the pair meet up again.:eek:

My purse would drown me too! I was so surprised to read that it helped her.

BTW - the news story has been getting regular updates.

[Keith1010]

Well always something new.

My handbag would make a good anchor - never a floatation device!

[Lizzie68]

Dear oh dear. The husband is back home. She is still in the hospital. Obviously 4 weeks together on a small cruise ship was just too much.....

That was my first thought, too. But Hyacinth expected the ship to turn around to get her. I did wonder if Richard might push her in, though.
