1. Bulova

2. Friday

3. ear

4. sheep

5. pen name

6. tarantula

7. Pele

8. mushrooms

9. yolk

10. Majorca

 

Not totally sure about 6 and 7. . . . .

 

Would have been a fun evening! Who won?

You gotta be kiddin' Hum !

This "WORLD Series.......just how many teams from round the world competed ?

Err.........ONE !

 

So when Raggy asks about a "World Cruise" does he just mean sailing around the US ?

 

That IS the world, is it not? Just wait until we build those walls.

 

Seems to be a bit of Brexit shenanigans going on in the U.K., Hum. Judiciary getting involved; Parliament will have to vote; Scottish MPs to vote against Brexit and potentially block it. Snap election might be called? The whole vote called into question. Wonder if you'll have to go through it all again :confused:

Way to go Cubbies! And since we named it "World" Series waaayy back when, we were first so it is World Series. Those in Poshland are free to form a team and try to get in if they can. :D

Gee, we think our baseball games take too long. Will the Poshers think it is like a really fast cricket match? Will there be gin and tonic vendors in the stands? Will they think a double play is a couple of Andrew Lloyd Weber shows? And, based upon how they drive, will the batter run to third when he gets a hit? Should make for an interesting game.

The game is played in Poshland actually.

But we call it "rounders"

It is played by schoolgirls, usually up to the age of 13.

 

Any private girls school team would whip the "Cubs" sorry asses.......

Cricket never caught on in America.

 

5 day cricket matches require acute attention, awareness, intelligence and real skill.

Yes, they are part of the American continent, but to associate them with the US is really offensive - - - to the wonderful Canadians.

 

The Americans are equally wonderful last time Hum looked.

God bless both.

Don't think He sees a division anyway (as you know...after all, you know him better than Hum).

 

Great Cher-ing with you TrapoerZ and Lady Z: you both look fabulous by the way.

Thanks, Hum. I was wondering who that lady was and why she wanted her picture taken with us. :)

 

It was because she was proud to know you, ain't it obvious Professor !

And the cause was a good one.

 

Sorry chums for the cryptic nature of this pist.

Hum knows what you are trying to do here COCOYOTE (and it's worked ! Hum's swallowed the bait).

 

Well thank heavens we have the fine example of how to conduct oneself by the Presidential candidates and their supporters in the US !

 

"Jerry Springer" on a bad acid trip comes to mind.

 

"Shenanigans" may seem how events occur in Great Britain but it was again one of Britain's finest moments, as odd as it may seem to some.

 

Without law and order.........well.............you would end up like France !

Mon dieu !

And a "quelle horeure" !

The unruly, uneducated, ignorant mob of baying peasants guillotining their betters en masse (French for the ruddy lot) with not a jot of legality.

And so it continues today (in a somewhat modified form) the peasants run France and the career politicians who want to make a legacy, run Germany.

Which brings us back to the reason why the Great British people voted to leave: to be free of them.

Good to see SD II on AIS. Just east of St. Maarten. Hope you are having fun.

 

We dropped off a crew member who had become ill a day earlier and two passengers took advantage of the drop off also: their destination after the sing was St.Maarten where they have a home.

 

Just in from the fabulous "Crew Show".

A super talented guest (and ocassional Cruise Critic poster) had composed a song in tribute to the crew which all guests sang.

It was a wonderful opportunity for the guests to show appreciation for the crew.
