That rulez!!!!!!! R0xxx0r!

heh heh heh, freaking hilarious!

Very amusing indeed

Ooh, I don't suppose you saw any evidence of nuclear weapons on-board?

When the Queen came to NZ in 1990, the British Govt didn't let her take her yacht, because they refused to declare whether it held any nuclear weapons. (NZ has a port ban on all nuclear-equipped ships -- it's the subject of an article I'm doing.)

Would be cool though if the Royal Yacht had one or two missile launchers. Then the Queen could be a pirate, marauding the high seas. She'd look great with an eyepatch and a parrot.

Well her current wealth is based on however-many years of marauding rape and pillage, so a few more years of piracy can't hurt! :)

Hehe! Ah, the elderly...

Oh goodness me. Haha!

Nice work!

I've always wanted to launch the Britannia. w00t!

You know, shauny, it's not true that me and liz had separate beds. They just put that in after we got rid of the old dinghy because they didn't want the public to know the true exent of depravity taking place in our boudoir.

PS I know ewan mcgregor, and can introduce you to him if you like, but i don't know why you'd be interested - he is scottish, after all. Why don't you like english boys? My grandson's a bloodnut too, and he could certainly use some decent company.

mwahahha... phil you old tiger you.

the english accent just can't compete with the scots... ooh er..

Excellent.
I love the tall skinny one of the woman.

I like the old Dude in the sickbay, he looks as though his audio-guide is the how to be an ER doctor edition: "to order this man prepped for surgery STAT! - please press one after the tone."

And please tell me that woman has a union jack headscarf! That would be too perfect.

I saw some boats too, this week, at the Cambridge bumps.

(Much smaller of course. And no audio guides.)

ahh, the gallery doesn't exist according to my IE. so i'll just pretend the photos are good.

i'm afraid they don't work for me either. IE or netscape.

try again! sorry kids.

Aaaahh, it makes me proud to be British. Want to wear your comfy sandals on a freezing winter day? Just wear socks! That'll sort it.
Lordy.

I just clicked on the gallery, and began wondering why old people use old giant cell phones.

Audio tour handsets make more sense, but why are there numbers on them? No wonder the old folks were confused! I certainly am.

I had one of those audio guides when we went to Bath. Guess who dropped it into the hot springs ? After that, surprisingly, it didn't work. Maybe it was something to do with the water sloshing around behind the display ?

I didn't have the balls to tell them when I handed it back.
