I dote on you for free, Snormy…it’s just the fawning that costs extra. And if you didn’t want me to use you for your money, you shouldn’t have let me know you had any. 😉

If Yoji Bear comes with a song…well, that does change things. Plus, I don’t think I could convice the rest of y’all to call him “My Little Croquette of Man-Meat”. Well, JL might…

And run out of steam? Never! And I’ll save you the trouble of saying it…If there’s anyone with an abundance of hot air, it’s me!

Do you have a cold **PimpDaddy P**? 😉

bwahahahaha…Don’t worry, I’ll come up with something better once I’ve met you. Although, I don’t know why I should, since you called me the h-word. ☹

Steady boys, the lasses is a plottin’ harhhh… harhh. Clump. Ouch !

Okee dokie. Piping on deck the crew member from Helsinki. Great to have you aboard HMS Trash, **Damhna** – May God help all those who have to pay Finnish alcohol prices :eek: And lets hope the middle syllable of your home port doesn’t apply to us.

Also moving **Diane** up to the top deck as it’s highly implausible she’ll be able to resist a weekend of total debauchery (“what’s new” cries someone handcuffed to a bunk down in the bilges).

Perhaps **TwistofFate** merits promotion from the lesser ranks to mid-deck but, obviously, he isn’t yet in a position to confirm he will be donning his seafarers cap - at an appropriately jaunty little angle - on the weekend in question so…oh, OK, Twisty moves up a deck. You do know the common fate of cabin boys, Twisty ? – do try to make it on deck else you may never walk straight again.

So (I think) the current ships complement comprises:  
Definite:

**Coldfire  
Hibernicus  
Yojimbo  
Spiny Norman  
tatertot  
London Calling  
Sassy  
Fierra  
Diane  
Damhna**  
Almost Definite (need confirmation):  
Botanica  
Boomfly  
Skinny Guy  
TwistofFate  
Maybe:  
Born Dodgy  
The Thill  
I do believe we’ve hit double figures ! but pretty slim pickings from the UK at the moment. Bit disappointing, really……but there is time !!

Whoa ! I think I sense a swelling – or is it a stiffening in the breeze. Time for another dose of the medicine, I think.

i still don’t have the email with the song lyrics… is this an evil plot?

**Snormy** perhaps you should consider fawning over me? I am so much more used to that configuration 😉

Here you go, **Sassy**. We’ll have to make **Snormy** dance with all of us ladies again. I -heart- Danish men! 😃

**Sassy** , I suggest a negotiation of fawning configurations when we’re in A’dam, how about that ? 😉

**tater** , if I’m going to dance, you’ll have to get me drunk first. Not that it should be that hard to achieve or anything. Then again, this is two weeks after my skiing trip to France, so I’ll probably excuse myself from dancing due to my body cast.

This seriously beginning to look like a party. And in A’dam, city of sin, red lights and recreative herbs, no less. Woohoo, bring it on!

S. Norman

**Snormy** , I’ll buy the Black Pigs this time. I’m convinced that’s what got us so silly in Hamburg. 😉

And I forgot! We must find someplace to get upsidedown in A’dam. **Sassy** , you may fawn and be fawned by **Snormy** all you wish, but I must insist that he only be upside down with me. 😃

Hoo!Ahh!

OMG, I just got a picture of **Botanica** …she’s so pretty! I’ll put up that page of our pics as soon as I get **Pimpy’s**.

You guys, just to save you disappointment, if you see a thread with “Dopefest in Dublin” in the title, it’s actually taking place in California. So far it’s caught out me and Pergau. I am officially annoyed with oldscratch.

**Snormy** , I can live with that 🙂 You do realize I will be bringing ALL my weapons? Many have tried and failed to resist… I suggest you take your vitamins! And, of course, if you feel the need to get upside-down, tater is your gal. I only cause vertigo in others; do not experience it myself.

Don’t be too hard on him, hibernicus. Anyone who lives in Dublin, California needs to get their jollies wherever they can 😃

Guys, can I just say I am _so_ jealous?

[sub]keep reminding yourself ruadh: you’ll be in Madrid, you’ll be in Madrid, you’ll be in Madrid…[/sub]

**kferr** , you can come, but only if you bring me a present. (Hey, if people are going to ask like they need my permission, you think I’m _not_ going to take advantage of it) 😉

**Sassy** , **Snormy** is already most virile, we don’t want him to turn into some sort of freakish uberman. I could scarely keep the women off of him in Hamburg as it was! I’m sure his regular routine will do nicely. He’s a runner you know. 😉

**ruadh** , remember you’ll be in Madrid! Plus, you get to live in Dublin. I live in stinkin’ Germany; you’ll get no pity from me young lady.

**hibby bunny** , I’m sorry you were so cruelly disappointed. We’ll play a nice prank on those meanies, okay?

Hi **oldscratch**! Not really annoyed with you, just amused really. Hey, if you and Rasa feel like joining us in Amsterdam on St Patrick’s weekend, we’ve still got some places free. Tatertot will probably try to extort presents from you, but pay no attention, she only _thinks_ she’s the boss. Ow Ow Ow Okay you’re the boss tater… Sheesh!😉
