Cruachan Posted January 21, 2009 #51 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have a video about how to tie one. Do you want it? Never mind, here it is anyway. Gail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6oFARi_z2M As soon as Gav's fairy confirms that I'm in QG, I'll devote my attention to the video :) But (and please don't tell Gari I said this) - I'm not sure I can tie it even with the help of the video!

GAV BOY Posted January 21, 2009 #52 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Excellent!! I'm off out tomorrow to buy one of those bow ties you have to tie yourself. That's how much faith I have in you. J Great, no pressure then. :eek: :rolleyes: :p Gav :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Rhone Posted January 21, 2009 #53 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Technically, she (QE) will cost more than the QM2, costing 993 million dollars versus 780 million. This may be due to the dollar/euro issue but I think they were going to put a little more money into her to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J I have a card provided by a local men's store that has the best, condensed instructions with little pictures I have ever seen. In fact, it showed me that I had been doing something wrong for years! I can scan an send to you if you like. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted January 22, 2009 #58 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Upgrade fairy's what? Or did you mean upgrade fairies? He means the upgrade fairy's going to get little old moi into QVQG. The cat's rates were way too expensive - I can get by with one leg but, until I retire, I still need both arms. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might become all thumbs. Or maybe your wife can practice on a vase, like I did.

Cruachan Posted January 22, 2009 #63 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Or you could practice on my wretched pet I could, but he charges £1,999,999.25 ($0.75) per hour for the service. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real PM Posted January 22, 2009 #65 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Or you could practice on my wretched pet. He likes his tied very tight:). Mary Or you could practice on Jean Luc, if you could keep him still long enough. His neck size would, more than likely, be the proper size. Problem is he'd get your backside before you could get the tie around his neck. Mary's wretched cat, now that I think about it, is a more likely candidate!!!

I hear that the butlers can do ties if required. Never seen it, of course. And that did assume one had a Q2 as no butlers for Q3 cabins. All this applies to the QE2, natch.

Perhaps he'll find his tie tier butler on board, but just in case, he better take the fake one with him. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J There seems to be some kind of dreadful inevitability that sends so many threads down the bow tie road. S'fate s'woritis. Note to Gav Boy. Do not, repeat not, under any circumstances intervene with the upgrade fairy UNTIL Jimmy has provided incontravertable evidence that he can actually tie his own bow tie. One can take the chap from the lower decks etc etc.... Gari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
