Cruachan Posted September 15, 2007 #251 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hell's flaming bells, I know I was making cracks about the decor etc, but I've just been back over to "a foul wet analogy" to see if anyone was still hanging around looking for a home and I stopped long enough to look at some of the thread headers. The first one I noticed was a "sticky" about harassment of members in floataway lounge. Running this a close second was "Change one letter and make a new word". But my personal favourite was "Last letter starts the next word" - I actually had a look on that one because I thought it had to be more complicated than it sounded. Guess what? It wasn't!! I'm sorry to say that the original "Routs Poorly Beds" thread can lie there and rot in Hell. I am never going back there again. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted September 15, 2007 #253 Share Posted September 15, 2007 ...there's actually a thread where you make a "story" by adding only 4 words. Penny, you are a genius - now I know where HS got the murrrrdrrrr stuff from and why he could produce it so quickly !!!!! I'm still planning the next move - but it's way past my bedtime here in sleepy old UK. I need to have at least 90 minutes of sleep every night and "half upright on an ancient line (7)" usually manages to wake me at about 3.00am every morning.

A VERY strange place...there's actually a thread where you make a "story" by adding only 4 words....now, around here that might be intriguing but....:rolleyes: Okay, which four words, St...age j...s sm...ng for..l ? Half upright- Um...guessing half of the word (or a synonym of) upright UPRI, added to ancient (OLD) line- Line could be an I or an L, but now I have 8 letters, none of which make sense! OLDUPRIL Still doesn't spell Stanley! who probably wakes you up at 7AM. Or your wife, or the alarm clock, or your own snoring, or needing to go to the bathroom, or sunlight streaming through the bedroom window, or the small of coffee percolating, or an earthquake or the phone ringing, or black booted thugs banging on the door, or ...... You get the picture! Karie, who doesn't have a clue. No she has the clue, she just can't get the answer! In fact, I haven't gotten half of them, much less why we got banished to some dingy bar in cabin class..no make that on the waterfront. we didn't even make the boat!

Cruachan Posted September 16, 2007 #265 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Still doesn't spell Stanley! who probably wakes you up at 7AM Well Karie, you guessed the answer correctly so, just for you, here is how I got there. Upright = Standing, therefore "Half upright" = stan. Ancient line = ley. Stan+Ley = Stanley. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenR_UK Posted September 16, 2007 #272 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hey, the lost boat thread is still going - I remember that from when it was safe to go to the floataway lounge, when posts stayed on the front page for more than 2 minutes and you didn't have to remember your alphabet to be allowed to post - Its a bit like lots of little HappyScots, but slightly less mad. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=50383 Actually, that must be a continuation thread from the board change, because I remember it being a lot funnier (I think Charlotte Vale used to post there as a passenger) or perhaps my sense of humour has been sharpened by being here;D Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
