exlondoner Posted October 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2007 As many of us seem to be feeling insecure and uncertain at the moment, as a comparatively new recruit, I thought I would list some of the commom characteristics of Cunard CCs. Cunard CCs: 1. Really, really love Cunard 2. Don't love all ships equally. 3. Have between them an immense amount of helpful knowledge about Cunard 4. Are genuinely keen to give useful and discerning advice to those with less experience of Cunard. 5. Manage to convey genuine sympathy and support to fellow Cunard CCs who have problems. 6. Look for the funny side in everything. 7. Are generally widely knowledgeable and literary over a surprising range of subjects. 8. Are almost invariably courteous, and apologise where they have inadvertently ruffled feelings. They understand the difference between hurting people and offending people. 9. Appreciate irony, and rarely take offence. 10. Are dedicated consumers of alcohol. 11. Except P-- A---- 12. Have a wide variety of opinions on cats. 13 Are looking forward to HappyScot's reurn.

Cruachan Posted October 11, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2007 What do you think?:) Jane Jane, only one tiny quibble - I would be inclined to amend point 13 to read: 13 Are looking forward to HappyScot's return to sea on his next cruise.

Cruachan Posted October 11, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Is he still in Vigo? David No he's moved on. Probably in Brest by now. Due back this weekend I think. Mind you, he could be in Vigo - just depends on whether the Spanish cops caught up with him or not. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnhmrk Posted October 11, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 11, 2007 12. Have a wide variety of opinions on cats. There's only one opinion of certain cats.

Ab Ovo Posted October 12, 2007 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2007 . What do you think?:) Jane New or not, Jane, I'd say Spot On! Many .. well, a few of us .. cc people talk 'mongst ourselves off the Board about the times we want to reach through the computer and in frustration slap some of the others ... for whatever. Then I read a fun thread drift, or a post like yours ... I remember again why this is such a good place to be. It's one of the best ship sites going; you've listed why!

Wadadli1 Posted October 13, 2007 #21 Share Posted October 13, 2007 And that is one of the reasons that some of us don't. And both are perfectly appropriate.

Sometime, somewhere on the 13th, we'll pass QE2 on her last voyage. That's what I'll be thinking of. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
