2738 A New Adventure

Welcome back Tink Good to have you aboard!!!!!!!!!;)

Hi Nobby..

Tinks.. what are all these buttons? My goodness, you have been busy! Ooooooer.. look at that big shiny one up there.. what does that one do?

Right.. fasten seat belts folks.. here we go!

Oooooer.. come on, let's give this thing a spin!

:) :)

We must have our coffee first. It's just nicely brewed - we have learnt a thing or two recently, haven't we;)

Now, did you bring the Sfogiatelle Aliena? This could be a long ride :)

Nobby, I can't make head nor tale of these maps.:) Can you recommend a nice sunny place where the inhabitants are warm and friendly, property is cheap, the legal process "as easy as in England" and there is no crime, polution or corruption? ;)

Don't ask for that Tinks..

Nobby will take us to the bl**dy Moon.. and we've been there and done that!

I forgot to pack the sfogliatelle so we'll have to make do with a panino al burro di arachidi for lunch.. anyway.. what's Saturn like at this time of year?

:) :)

Why not the moon? We could have brought back soem bottled moonshine?:)

Oh well, we'll have to make sure we pick up some star dust on the way. We can hand it out at Pesacara airport when we get back ;)

Let's go somewhere where the grass is greener Tinks.. and stay off the Moonshine.. it's playing havoc with your sense of direction!

Anyway, whats happened to your green light?

:) :)

Aha, we have the green light ;)

Nobby: "hey guys, I represent House Around the Galaxy! We are going to go on an inter-galactice property tour, but the end of which you'll wish you went to Skegness instead ";)

Aliena, you'll find a button on the left...

Shurrup Nobby.. or I'll turn you off.. 'cus some miserable person keeps voting on these threads so I have to counter vote to balance the Status Quo.. as if we haven't got enough problems without that band wanting to buy a house at the end of a magical mystery tour..

Good morning Sgt. Pepper.. are you musical?

:) :)

well I been goin in and outta syle;)

Tinks..

The space ship aint half making some funny noises.. have you left a spanner in the works?

:) :)

Nup, mussa bin summin else :)

Hey what's that I can see out the window ....land!

Oooer Tinks.. it's Vesuvio.. fancy a cuppa?

:) :)

Wow ! Nobby, is that Vesuvius?

"Yes sirree, AD79, August 23. Shall I dock the ship?"

Oooooooer Tinks.. hit the override button quick.. looks a bit too hot down there at the moment.. could make the water for our cuppa boil a bit too fast.

I may be a vecchia strega.. but that cauldron is too big to handle.. even for me!

:) :)

Nobby! stop mucking around...we want to go the the land of milk and honey:)

"The Parmalat Factory, Sir?"

What are you doing Tinks? This Nobby is a serious problem and really is of no use at all..

Why on Earth would we let Nobby take us to Parmalat? Unless they are doing a bit of 'restructuring' these days.. cus I hear Enrico Bondi is an Extraordinary Commissioner.

I wonder if he knows the Chief of Police?

:) :)

Nobby, do you know the chief of Police?

"yes sir, Sting sir"

Oh... I think Nobby needs a little re-education. Aliena ;)

So does Aliena Tink..

I cant find the Blogs and the Rogues Gallery anymore.. have I gone blind?

:) :)

did you take the spoon out of your coffee before you drank it? If not, its possible ;)

Ooooooer Tinks.. you are clever, no wonder I've gone blind.. poking my eyes like that!

It's a good job I have some more in the back of my head! We must keep our eyes and ears open for any stowaways!

Nobby, make yourself useful.. check the space ship for dissidents immediately!

Put the kettle on Tinks while Aliena has a look at the latest edition of ItalyMag to see what everyone is raving about!

Oh I say, Tinks.. they have a Forum.. should we give it a whirl?

:) :)

As long as tis not the Ides of March... I hear brutal assassinations go on then ! Fancy !;)

Tinks..

According to this article they have about assassins.. brutal assassinations must be a figment of your imagination.. or have you been smoking the [SIZE="4"]حشّاشين [/SIZE]again?

Bet ya didn't know Aliena is an etymologist did ya? :p Or is that an Egyptologist? Ooer I dunno.. I get confused!

:) :)

Oh I say, Tinks.. they have a Chatroom.. should we give it a whirl?

Welcome aboard Why not indeed..

Phew.. was almost parnoid for a minute.. thought it was another voter! Oops.. spoke to fast..they've been at it again! :D

:) :)

[QUOTE=Aliena] Ooer I dunno.. I get confused!

:) :)[/QUOTE]

Never a truer word spoken ;)

Maybe you mean entomologist - the study of creepy crawlies? ;)

Damn! I've already told you that you know Aliena too well!

Which taxonomic specialisation is yours?

Mine is.. Chlorophyta, Euconjugatae, Zygnematalis, Zygnemataceae and Spirogyras! :D

:) :)

anyone know from where the word assassination is thought to derive - me thinks Aliena might?

Yes. Arabs. Hashish.

Now lets back serious. :)

Nobby, where are we headed?

"We're 24 hours from Tulsa"

Aliena, are you sure that was the correct wiring diagram, and not the Naples street map? ;)

The word assassination is from the Arabic word for Hashish and if you read the thread properly you would see it in post 23 above! :D

Would you like Aliena to spell it for you? Here you are.. [SIZE="4"]حشّاشين[/SIZE]

Tinks.. is this new space ship of yours giving you hassle too 'cus it's playing havoc with my Arthritis.. far too damp around here!

:) :)

Oops..crossover posts.. I really must get up to speed.

I thought Nobby had short circuited.. no bloomin' wonder.. we are in Poggiareale at the back of the carcere.

Mio zio lives next door.. so we could pop in for a cuppa and a rhum baba if you like.

:) :)

does anyone know where they got the name rhum blah blah from?

Yes dear..

Sei tu un rhum blah blah eh?

Tinker.. the space ship has died!

:) :)

our plumber has advised us about this.... he fits these wood burners and runs one in his own spaceship.... at the moment we have a solar warp system... the wood burner will need to be situated in a large cantina and will not be one that does cooking only for flying the spaceship....

the reason... if you buy one that cooks as well then the combustion area is small...ie smaller logs ...less speed and less hyperlink functions.... so as we have around twenty phasers to heat up it will not work....for us...in a smaller spaceship it will though....

so if you are thinking big get a dedicated wood burning type furnace....it takes longer logs but for a galaxy quest you will need around a hundred quintale ...

to be continued...

Aliena, is your uncle certifiably insane? Does he have fresh sfogliatelle?

We'll drop by and see.:)

Meanwhile, Nobby, activate dehimidifier and flush out the wets that have stowed away....they shouldn't be in the circus ;)

Tinks..

Dunno about certifiable.. unless you've noticed somat and don't want to tell me as things do tend to run in the blood.. but this is only our Circus and the show must go on.

I love the water and I'm happy God has chosen to make me a dolphin.. I don't mind at all.

The only drawback to joining these wondrous creatures of the deep is the manner in which you have to do so: head over heels and backwards off the space ship!

Uno.. due.. tre.. :D

:) :)

"I love the water "

????? ntch ntch ntch

Grappa is better !!

Ugo

If Tinks and Aliena can't get this ship going we may have to call in that stout stalwart Colonel Blimp to have a go at the controls ... and Tinks stop looking at page 3 all the time.

Coo ee, Anyone there? Gone very quiet. Come on guys rally round get this ship ahoy!

No.. we are sulking and both looking at page three!

Oi Tinks.. wotcha fink of hers.. plastic?

:) :)

Stodge, David Low described Colonel Blimp as "a symbol of stupidity, and stupid people are quite nice." Is there some connection as you brought him up? :D

"Master" says Nobby, "there are some very silly people who have stown away in the hold; shall I give them a new labour welcome"...

..."exactly so, Nobby, blast the scroungers into outer space...press 1849 on the space counter and let's go!...

I have just had an out of the box experience - I am convinced Aliena is going to publish her experiences of this forum - Terry Wogan here she comes or is Tinker a publisher testing the waters?

Ah.. the good old days! :D

Hey where are you all going ? Don't leave me alone here on earth !
