LegalWeapon Posted January 22, 2008 #26 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I will second the thanks for your making the pins available. Our good friend, Matthew, was kind enough to give all of his friends on the Zephyr one of them. :) And, your pictures are terrific. Bettie Hey I was on the Zephyr and I did not get one! And this despite all my valiant lighting thingie twirling, that was bound to either make me notice from the three Queens or to get me committed to a mental institution, or both of them.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegalWeapon Posted January 22, 2008 #29 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ...still in New York, are you ? ? ? ? I wish.... Still, I am back in (one of) the greatest city (-ies) in the world, cannot really complain, can I? OK, I can, since I am slowly assuming the mantle of honorary Briton, thus becoming a Whingeing Pom (as the Aussies would sometimes call us)!

LegalWeapon Posted January 22, 2008 #30 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You were in a position to get your own!!!! Matthew Yes, I did keep asking the manufacturer of the aforesaid badges to supply me with one... still got a fridge magnet with the three Queens, so all I have to do now is to turn myself into a fridge! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that similar to Twirling Pompoms (a cheerleading activity)? That would explain your proficiency with glowsticks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalWeapon Posted January 23, 2008 #32 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Is that similar to Twirling Pompoms (a cheerleading activity)? That would explain your proficiency with glowsticks... I did not know you could twirl a pompom, my understanding is that you twirl batons and the pompoms are just shaken... that is as far as I could make out when watching the cheerleaders on American Football matches... you see here in the UK, with the proper football, the game invented by the English and regularly won by us Italians, we don't have cheerleaders... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadadli1 Posted January 23, 2008 #35 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm sure you paid close attention! Matthew Which is why he knows so much about twirling pom poms, yes? I'm still waiting for what happens when he figures out how to turn himself into a refrigerator...a magnet for magnets, I expect. Probably not what he wished he was a magnet for?

LegalWeapon Posted January 23, 2008 #37 Share Posted January 23, 2008 was that you?I was afraid it was some sort of affliction! <G> You're just all envious that I was able to spin those tubular orange glow-in-the-dark thingies with such charm, class, and charisma! And they double-up as light-rods to gave directions for aeroplanes at the local aeroports (and before you start any jokes or slanderous libellious comments, I was still in the US when the plane had those problems at Heathrow!!) Besides, with the Zephyr being so petite and the fireworks being so huge, we had to do something to get ourself noticed from the three Queens, didn't we? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
