I have a video about how to tie one. Do you want it? Never mind, here it is anyway.

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]

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.

Great, no pressure then. :eek: :rolleyes: :p

Gav :cool:

[Captain Rhone]

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.

[VirginCruiser II]

I know several Fairy`s and will see what i can do :p ;) :eek:

 

Gav :cool:

 

....that was uncalled for!:eek:

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.

Upgrade fairy's what?

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.

Michael, that's most kind of you. I'm sure with the help of your card and Gail's video I can crack it before April

I was able to learn on the neck of a vase. Only thing, just in case, take the fake one along. You might become all thumbs. Or maybe your wife can practice on a vase, like I did. Rick wouldn't let me practice on him--I can't imagine why???:D

[Norfolk Brit]

Or you could practice on my wretched pet. He likes his tied very tight:).

Mary

 

Now that's an offer many will find very hard to refuse! Could you ship him to NY?

[Cruachan]

I could, but he charges £1,999,999.25 ($0.75) per hour for the service.

And lord knows what you might contract from getting so close!:eek:

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!!!

Oh yes:). No problem:).

As J is planning on being in QG he won't need the fake. 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.

But I don't think he is planning on going to Dubai--or is he???:confused:

[Bearly Afloat]

I don't think that there are any butlers on board - it wasn't possible for Cunard to sell the crew too.

 

At least one has been spotted on the Scary Mary however.....

Don't you think the others will show up on one of the Cunard ships? I believe J is going on the QV. Perhaps he'll find his tie tier butler on board, but just in case, he better take the fake one with him. :)

Steady on gang. You're piling the pressure on Gav hre, and I want him in top form for his negotiations with the upgrade fairy.

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....
