Make it so.

We need our Spaci fix

[RVW]

Hey Eric good to hear from you Be even better to see you HOPE you can make it.

[RVW]

I have another idea bubbling away in the background

[paa100]

Got new front tyres today. Handling back to normal! Wallet empty

[paa100]

A question.
Are we meeting on -route?
Can we get on the boat early?
Should we meet in a nice pub before? I might be willing to sort one?
Departure time is very late.....

Thats 4 questions Or maybe 3 and a statement.

If at all possible, but where?
Dunno
YES for a meal So I will have something to bring back on the long boat trip
Could ask the Captain if he can leave earlier

[Beastmaster]

For us the late departure on Thursday night means we are working to 5.30 so yes will have to see if we can get there earlier, realistically though I think earliest we can get to Portsmouth is 9.30. Will ask Peanut about this though. meeting before hand and convoying down is possible but dependent on what time we are all free from. Definitely a possibility though. If a meal is the way and we can't make it maybe we would join up with you where you have the meal.

Now, for the attention of our on board translators - Chris and Jax! Please ensure (for the safety and well being of the trip members) that you are able to translate the following key words and phrases into french at a moment's notice:

1. morning coffee
2. lunch
3. ice cream
4. afternoon tea
5. dinner
6. wine
7. beer
8. round
9. it's your
10. You can't blame the Brits - he's Swiss
11. I have a massage from Michelle
12. I will say this only once.

Your help is appreciated on this one.
Additionally if anyone else can think of any key words I have missed can they ensure that Chris and Jax are aware of them.

Thanks

Ade

I'll sort out a pub near Pompey.

Suggest we meet there at 1930 - 2000 for a bit of dinner.

Could meet somewhere on route for a thrash across the tank ranges for those interested.

Additional key phrases for translation;

Today my day will be sucessful if..........

Peanut has the afternoon off, we wont make 2000 but 20.30 is realistic just so we will join you for an after dinner drink!

[Jaffa Racer]

After dinner drink here as well

[RVW]

Like the idea of a bit of tank thrashing before dinner
