Thanks for joining in the conversation!
Don't forget I have the "lettuce"...always needed on a bus trip..:)
Hi there, Tour Guide. Me thinks you know toooo much - in a nice way. Leeds-Bradford Airport? Cool, and true. I'm staying on the bus - fare enough?
Loving this already Reg. You can say whatever you like about Brighton - I still consider myself a London exile, so, while you're poking fun at the damage we all do to the English language, can I hope that a few miles down the frog and toad, we'll stop at a rub-a-dub for a couple of Britneys?
Cor blimey! Our Les 'as gone & used 'is loaf wiv a bit o' Cockney rhymin' slang! Loaf o' bread, that is...rhymes wiv-- you guessed it. ;-) Luv, a NYC Brit's Ioway Granddaughter
Nice place in the back of the buss .. Normally at concerts i like to be at the front . At last i Am gonna meet Lauri and Toni . great to see the others again . I have to save some time between the ride for Dale and Don.
Over exited as usual...
We will have to make a short stop probably, Reg.
(If you allow, of course)
If Germany wins the Euro-Soccer-Finals next Sunday
I will have to buy German beer to celebrate with all of you. (What about England? Not sure they are still playing the tournament:-)))
I wouldn't want to crowd Toni!
Not sure they ever started playing.
However, the England team was clocking up some records:
Highest number of games lost on penalties
Highest number of overpaid players on a pitch
Ugliest and fattest Number 10 in the competition
I think Germany will win. Bring beer
Hi Reg.
Is there room for another female on the tour? I would like submit my request to be seated with the single gentlemen, por favor.
I will try to stay out of trouble, but I won't make any promises I might not be able to keep.
FYI, Regworthy, since I'm such a languages and accents freak, I can't resist commenting that it's only Midwestern and Western Americans (generally) who pronounce "marry", "merry", and "Mary" virtually indistinguishably. For contrast, listen to a native New Yorker, say, from Elmhurst, Queens (my dad's hometown), Long Island (where we lived for awhile when I was a kid), or da Bronx (home of the New York Yankees-- go, Bombers!!), and you will soitanly hear a difference amongst the three woids. There are lots of New Yorkers in movies and TV. In the above-mentioned locales, for three examples, the "a" in "marry" normally sounds nothing like the one in "Mary", but like the "a" in "at"-- often pretty broadly so. As in the old '40s movie title, "I Maahrried a Witch". There are, of course, other Eastern accents. Have fun with Boston's! Then there are the various possible very unmerry and definitely non-Mary Southern versions, quite distinct from (Mid)Western ones, as in "I Mah'ied a Witch". Cackle. ;-)
Robin, I'm going to presume to comment here in my capacity (such as it is) of "Co-Queen". It's really Toni you should be asking for permission to join the tour, not Reg, under all the circumstances.
Hi Laurie.
I would never dream of posting here before contacting Toni to offer my apologies for participating in the negativity of the recent past. She is the one who graciously invited me to rejoin this lovely community. I also let her know that I was going to try to hop on the Magical Mystery Tour bus, if Reg will have me.
Peace and Love, Robin
And nobody as to worry about chocolate Jane will supllie all of us for the entired trip with Swiss chocolate
Hey Robin. I'll be delighted if I can sit with a nice lady like you - I can be a gentleman sometimes. We can compare photos of tropical beaches and cooking recipes along the way. I'm sure Reg won't mind.
And I would never have dreamed of posting my "Co-Queen" comments had I been in receipt of an update from Toni that she had completely changed her mind about letting you back on the board. Peace and love, Robin? No offense, but I've heard that before. Looks like I got on the wrong bus.
All the girls invited in the back of the buss. I am goin to make Margerita`s ......
Les, you are sooo transparent. Oh, well. I tried.
Thanks, dear Piet, but I'll take a rain-check on the liquor. I'm not feeling too well at the mo. Extended-family worries are getting me down, and now I'm having my doubts about this "tour". Think I'll either jump off a roof or go back to bed for awhile. See yez whenever, everybody!
Hi Laurie,
I want you to know that I regret the way I handled myself and I am truly sorry for my part in bringing negativity to Toni's lovely board dedicated to the great Alvin Lee. It is my most sincere hope that you will be willing to put the past behind us. I meant it when I wrote "Peace and Love". I have a lot of flaws, but I am sincere if nothing else.
Robin
Thank you, Robin. Let's give it a whirl! :-)
Excellent! Thanks, Laurie.
Hi Jeremy, it is so good to be back among friends.
All is well with the feminine population. We are going to party in the back of the bus with Pieter.
I hope to see you in Paris in April. I have a feeling everyone will be there!
