You will may be happy to know that the wage suppliment thread has now been closed by Caroline due to too much nationalism.

 

 

Did have a laugh about if you don't like the Princess policy choose another cruise line.....mmmmmmmmmmm hello Carnival owns the greater majority of cruise lines...I did find one of their brands "Seabourn" that states "Tipping is neither required nor expected".... so why not across the board....mind you their prices are premium and it is probably already loaded ....:D.... as far as complaining or turning off auto whatevers well you get to go straight to the naughty cruiser desk for that...a black mark forever.... the world has gone mad, tipping is taking over:eek:.... cheers shiona

I noticed..I did send her an email explaining what an ANZAC was...not the biscuit mind you, and blamed Happyscot for the fallout!!:D

 

Typical ANZAC counter attack...well done...BRAVO ZULU!!

 

 

I sent her a email as well explaining ANSAC. Can you believe someone from the US knew that. Ofcourse I expalined the biscuit and other lingo that developed from that.

Sorry to offend anyone, I just realized I type an s and not a z in ANZAC.

I guess I should also apologise for my last response there. Pays to let the rednecks go when they stand on their soap boxes, rather than challenge their arguement. I felt that smeyer... was over the top, but could have let it ride.

 

Amazing that this thread has outlasted 3 full on Princess ones. Guess it proves that when we have different opinions here, we are more tolerant to each others opinions & beliefs.

 

As for ANZAC, there will be many over there that don't know or care what it means, even to their freedoms. Not sure that many would even know what Anzus is. As our "allies" believe that they own the net, I am surprised that they would not google it before making such a Paris statement.

 

Anyway, I have tired of the tipping arguement for now, but have enjoyed the variety of opinion and Free Speech. Off to scrub the unwanted tar off my feet.

 

Cheers,

Yes, I can readily see how my couple of gags and appeal for calm caused the international slag-fest that was raging around me to be shut down. That was about the only time it wasn't my fault................. Bloody colonials.

 

I feel betrayed......besmirched.....and several other words starting with be....

 

The tipping and formal attire ones are fun, but get tedious after a bit. My all-time favourite ones are when American friends write in to express their white-hot outrage that one of the 655 items on the breakfast buffet was not a) available from the Walmart 100 yards from their house, and b) cooked PRECISELY the way they have it at home (usually to a condition hardly distinguishable from pure carbon). With barely-concealed disgust, they speculate on whether the item might even be FOREIGN. That then opens the door for lots of stuff about grits, burnt bacon etc from hysterical non-yanks. Braw fun.

 

In fact, why doesn't one of you do an Aussie complaining about the weird Yank food, and why can't you have smoked roo spleens, boiled spiders etc like normal people have? Remember that to be authentic, you have to sound as if you expect any normal person to agree with you 100% - remember, there is no reality other than yours.

 

I think this is a genuine grievance that you have, that you ought to explore.

I agree, the rednecks are to blame. (with a bit of prompting from Australasia)

 

Happyscot was being the goodguy on this one. For a while I thought he was trying to take Super Caroline's job, polishing apples & all. (Where's a smiley with a finger down his throat when you need one)

 

There is a difference though - she has a padlock! She only locked it to protect herself from the "how dare you not know ANZAC" posts.

 

Cheers

I'm quite familiar with ANZAC day. I've even seen Gallipoli - made when Mel Gibson still had an accent! Unfortunately, those of us in The Colonies (well, not me personally, but you get the idea) have a long history of being used as cannon fodder by our Imperial Mother, so that the home-grown boys would still look all spiffy parading in victory. Look up Dieppe and find the Canadian equivalent of Gallipoli. Different war, same result.

 

To keep this cruising related to some extent, Titanic's sister, Brittanic, was torpedoed and sunk during the Dardanelles campaign.

And now on the Open University: "Do Oysters have Orgasms?" A reflective look on life by the author of "Death: does it mean the end for your sweat glands" and "I'm feeling down: 27 years as a pillow stuffer".

 

A bloke who died round here, worked in Tesco's supermarket, was spotted singing in a Las Vegas casino the other day, live and kicking.

 

What does a New Zealand girl use for protection during sex? A bus shelter.

 

God I'm bored. I'm horrible when I'm bored. I get bored a lot.-

 

Were all the Canuck troops armed with axes? "Stand still you German swine or I'll recount a long and pointless anecdote at you. We play the same sports as the Americans - is that why no one ever comes here? Hello? Anybody there? ooooooooooo, look at the trees.........Pass me my brightest, reddest shirt, mother".

 

I'm going home for my tea to find someone to be rude to in real time.

Happyscot, no doubt about it you are a fruit and nut case..... of course oysters have orgasms and so do some NZ girls in bus shelters :p

 

I suffer from total boredom also, I am real mean when I am bored ;) I was enjoying Smeyer, my old Dad who we lost just last year at 92 would have loved the idea of a cocktail called "Ansac" and would have been happy to drink copious quantities of same I feel sure.

I think i'm being watched, so will be real careful (3* in my swear word).

 

Stiff records used to have a slogan when I worked in a music shop in the 80's. I had a badge and T-shirt of it I used to wear. T-shirt is long gone, but I hope I still have the badge somewhere.

 

If it aint Stiff, it aint worth a f***!

 

Perhaps a more public friendly version:

I work with a guy called Stiffy (his last name is Barr). He also has an Auntie Gai :D
