ajpeter Posted August 1, 2014 #651 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Here I stand, hat in hand, looking Ho hum in the eye. I take a deep bow and say, 'thank you for your wonderful words, the beautiful lines and the soft sarcasm in your idle jottings. Be it drivel or not, it has been pure pleasure.

Rare DisneyJen Posted August 1, 2014 #652 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Jen, I want to be there when you and Vandrefalk sing "Sweet Caroline" together with Zoltan as the back up! Not to be missed! Need to get that one planned one of these days. Of course, I will just enjoy since I don't sing. Where is the "like" buttom? Will sing Sweet Caroline anytime with DJ! HoHum, please don't abandon us! You are the highlight! Just so sorry I won't be in your part of Posh UK next month! Vandrefalk I agree that we need to cruise together! I'm sure Zoltie will be able to coax whatnot into joining us in song.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted August 1, 2014 #653 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I know it must be just coincidence but I awoke today to no Ho-Hum and outside it is cooler and completely cloudy here in the Valley of the Sun Arizona.:eek: Spooky!:eek::D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcmv Posted August 8, 2014 #658 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Mr. Ho-Hum is on strike apparently. No, but almost. Even in the posh part of England, where ho-hum lives, the labor unions are very incisive. The writers union doesn't allow more than 391 posts without making an appropriate silent period ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted August 8, 2014 #659 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Forgive me, I had no idea Mr. Hum's post SeaDream partum depression was so pronounced. If you will ship him out here (prepaid of course) I will enroll him in the Dr. Jim's Desert Cleansing Program. Up before dawn. Hike Camelback Mountain before a breakfast of Huevos Rancheros with Tequila Therapy. Drinking a gallon or more of pure water each day will be a total shock to his system but, in the end, will produce the desired results. Baking in 44 to 45C unfiltered sunlight will soon remove the sanatorium pallor from his exterior whilst the Tequila Surprise will take care of the innards. Before he knows it, he will be a new man and back at his jottings regardless of the barbs of his critics. I stand ready to help.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commodoredave Posted August 9, 2014 #665 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have been absent from this thread (and all of CC) for a while caring for DW who recently had some surgery. Thankfully she has fully recovered and neither of us no longer need to eat my cooking or wear clothes that I tried to iron. If there were ever any belittling comments on this thread, I never saw them. Lots of good-natured kidding and irreverent comments, yes. And I hope this thread continues in that vein as it has given me many laughs and grins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JES4845 Posted August 9, 2014 #666 Share Posted August 9, 2014 As usual or at least often I agree with Commodore Dave. Just arrived Copenhagen today for our first non SD voyage. On Monday we try Silver Whisper for a week to the Norwegian fjords. Will advise how it goes and how it compares to SD.

Jim Avery Posted August 15, 2014 #670 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It surely is boring around this board with Mr. Hum's daily postings missing. I hope his time at Shrublands is proving beneficial. One must manage to consume somewhat "normally" between SeaDream voyages. That pesky never ending glass of wine.:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcmv Posted August 17, 2014 #671 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Keep cool, Jim ... In less than one month, he'll be cruising with me from Athens to Rome on SD II. I will give him enough subjects every day to write about ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcmv Posted August 21, 2014 #672 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Sorry dearest ho-hum, I know, this is YOUR thread, but today I received the best out-of-office-reply ever and I like to share it: "Dear colleague, actually I’m enjoying sun, blue sea, mediterranean food and wine and therefore answering my mails in a bat©h mode rather than “real time” until I’m back at work in September ..." Is he a Seadreamer??? ;) I'm counting the days - 23 days left to get onboard SD II ... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho-hum Posted September 12, 2014 Author #675 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Early morning in the posh part of the UK. Autumnal and a tad nippy and grey. In less than 3 hours, ho hum and blondie will be landing in sunny Athens where it is 30degs. From the airport we take a limousine to Piraeus. Not a great fan of Athens especially since the economic downturn. Check into a business hotel. And a five minute walk and we will be having early supper in a wonderful taverna: all fresh salads, chilled local wines.... Oh and we are travelling with two chums who also live in the posh part of the UK just a thirty minute walk away from us. He is ho hum's oldest friend. A very lucky man to have had the benefit of ho hum's life experience all these years. He has some good qualities too. The ability to be very patient and forgiving of his friends. Charlie and certain gentleman from Heidelberg are likely to be onboard. Everybody loves Charlie. The man from Heidelberg is not known to ho hum but we have chatted on this thread. A charming, funny and educated gentleman. Ho hum's kinda guy. Must pack !!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
