Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #26 Share Posted July 5, 2004 And referring to others as "riff-raff" is disrespectful, rude, and condescending. Not surprising considering the source, however. I am not refering to all others as "riff-raff"...I am refering to "riff-raff" as "riff raff", they know who they are. Why would you defend people who show no manners, no consideration for those around them and no respect for the rules aboard ship?? Have it your way...sail with these people. I'm sure you'll all be very happy together. Me, I'll cruise unil this type finally take over then I'll move on...that's the way it's always been.

fireguy091 Posted July 5, 2004 #27 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Danno, I think it's working :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #28 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yup...I'm pretty happy with the way it's going ;-). (I don't know if my friend Jack will see the humour in this...there goes my next upgrade). I always find it odd that people rush to defend rude, drunken, inconsiderate people...like they are a figment of my imagination!! These people exist and we tolerate them quietly, rather confront them, thus becoming one of them.

tuggers Posted July 5, 2004 #29 Share Posted July 5, 2004 So torreypines came on here to be convinced to cruise? He's never cruised? Strange, very strange! :rolleyes: And to offer opinions? Having never cruised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmarch@islc.net Posted July 5, 2004 #32 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Sounds like a Yankee, knocking the south to me. Not all of us are Bubba's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #33 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Sorry wasn't meant to be...I have an uncle who was refered to as Bubba and many times my mother would refer to me as Bubba. The son of one of my closest friends is nick-named Bubba, now shortened to just "B". I meant it more as a term of endearment, but I perhaps could have chosen better...and I am NOT a Yankee, or for that matter an Oriole or a Red Sox, just a plain humble Blue Jay, very humble lately!!

Offtune Angel Posted July 5, 2004 #34 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Maybe we should start an "I'm a Celebrity Snob and proud of it" club... :) Hooray for IACSAPOI:) Are we issuing separate membership cards or will Captains' Club suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offtune Angel Posted July 5, 2004 #35 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I am not refering to all others as "riff-raff"...I am refering to "riff-raff" as "riff raff", they know who they are. Actually, most of the "riff-raff" DON'T know who they are. Which is why WE prefer to be IACSAPOI members.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #36 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Maybe my friend Jack will agree to put a sticker on our CC cards!! We need a secret handshake!! I think we should shake with both hands at the same time...we'll be able to tell those who are not in the club because they'll have to put down their can of beer, gigarette and/or walkie-talkies to shake hands;-)!!

tuggers Posted July 5, 2004 #37 Share Posted July 5, 2004 and I haven't felt insulted yet! This is fun! If they come here even before they book we can do a little social gardening and weed them right out. Do away with that nasty first cruise and this that or the other went wrong malarky.

Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #38 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I love the South...I recently have had the pleasure of trying Pecan Pie, WOW!!! I could put all 90lbs I lost, back on in one sitting!!

Danno Posted July 5, 2004 Author #48 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Sorry Lois...I have always found your posts informative, interesting, enlightening, humourous, polite and considerate. You are indeed a snob. In fact I was considering nominating you as the "first lady" of our snobby little community. I think Tuggers can be our "grand snot" while Newt (who has yet to check in) will be our court jester!! Must be off now...the help has just brought the limo around and I'm off to lunch at the club...tah tah. O/T how do you people insert the little face icons in your text??

emilysmom Posted July 5, 2004 #49 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi. I'm Emilysmom and I am a snob. I may get in trouble for this but there was a "group" on my cruise that had been given their CC Class staterooms as a gift from a family member. They were loud, obnoxious and didn't go to dinner because they were sick of dressing up and didn't like the food. They prefered the buffet. They occupied several staterooms in a row near our stateroom and would come in at 1:00 A.M. yelling and laughing and letting their kids scream. I felt bad for their waiters because they never showed. I'm sure their attitude was that they didn't have to give the waiters their gratuities because after all, why should they? The waiters didn't do anything for them. It was obvious they didn't appreciate the wonderful gift they were given! Just me venting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 5, 2004 #50 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Danno You need to go into your User CP and Edit options. Right down the bottom you need to select "advanced" WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). That should do it. Hi Lois:D Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
