UKCruiseJeff Posted October 31, 2017 #26 Share Posted October 31, 2017 OK Coolers, I'll admit that I was bored. Idle hands. But all this talk of Spanish and dancing and I thought I'd put together a shorty to celebrate The Cooler IV entitled Sergio Mendes and The Black Eyed Peas does The Black Bottom (Through The Ages) and The Drag Varsity. Technically totally incompetent but I hope it makes you smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted October 31, 2017 #27 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Greetings Coolers! I'm loving the new digs! Very homey! And welcome to the new Cooler Bar denizens! J...your Cooler Bar 4 inauguration video is wonderful! But where did you get a video of me dancing in my Halloween costume? Was my webcam left on by mistake? :) Penny...we tried a bottle of wine from Valle De Guadalupe, Baja Californai, Mexico last night and loved it. L.A. Cetto Petite Sirah 2015. As you may know, the LCBO controls the sale of alcohol in the province of Ontario. They decide which wines they will import. This is the first time we have seen a wine from Mexico available in our local LCBO location. So glad we got a chance to try it! Have a great day all!

Rare Tothesunset Posted October 31, 2017 #28 Share Posted October 31, 2017 TTS, Very interesting points. Your comments concerning those that speak out about things that don't influence their lives whatsoever are a logical stance. I am entirely supportive of gay marriage but have a question. The issue is absolutely clear cut with civil partnerships and civil marriage ceremonies which are governed solely by national laws and I do not believe anyone has the right to begrudge this. Do you however feel that clergy of any and all religions should be forced by national law and threat of criminal sanction to perform marriage ceremenoies that their own conscience currently forbids them to do and might have been the teachings of their own church for the whole history of their church and maybe centuries? In other words should the rights, wishes and entitlements of a gay couple to have a religious marriage trounce the rights of the church and the vicar? I am a heterosexual atheist and unqualified to comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo mi! Posted October 31, 2017 #29 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hola all! Mysty: Valle de Guadalupe is area of prime vineyards in Baja California. I am familiar with LA Cetto wines. Hopefully, LCBO will import more from MEX that you can try. I am (embarrassed to say) a white wine drinker who is now in love with Spain's Rueda Verdejo! Have a great day!

Rare Tothesunset Posted October 31, 2017 #30 Share Posted October 31, 2017 And ironically, those same people, the most adamantly anti-gay/homophobic, are often the ones arrested in public toilets. For example, that paragon of family values, Senator Larry Craig from Idaho. Sent from my iPad using Forums Indeed, one sometimes wonders if protestations of rectitude are just a preliminary defence!

Rare jpalbny Posted October 31, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Nice plate Jeff! No cooking here for a while, at least not by me. The food here has been really great. David Bilsand is on board and he goes to the markets nearly every and buys all sorts of stuff. The executive chef for SS has been here too, but now it's Diego Munoz of Lima for a few days until Rudy comes back. The cooking demos are a blast and the dinners are so tasty. I am walking constantly and I doubt it's helping at all. Sea day today so catching up with my blog. Thanks for coming by!

UKCruiseJeff Posted November 1, 2017 #37 Share Posted November 1, 2017 JP, very sad news, and I guess this is now the way of things.

Sorry to take so long to answer this but I have been busy doing lots of other things away from my PC (The sun has actually been shining down here in Cornwall !). Jeff how do you reconcile that comment with the large number of C of E Vicars who are openly gay/Lesbian and married to same sex spouses?

Camillus112 Posted November 1, 2017 #44 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Good to have you back, Spins. Al least you rested from the Pre-Irma and Irma ordeal. Maybe later you will have a chance to post more details of your trip. Thanks for the wonderful nature photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted November 1, 2017 #45 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Welcome back to the Bar Spins! We dusted off your bar stool yesterday in anticipation. And I think the bar staff added some comfy padding to all the seats here. Mine definitely feels cushier. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted November 1, 2017 #46 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks all. I have Plenty of new "cush" to sit on after the cruise, from all that food and drink, even without desserts! Time to get Spartan, in advance of next cruise in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
