Title: "See" you in a few weeks
Post by: 38thBeatle on April 20, 2009, 10:23:33 PM
Yes the Missus and I are off on holiday for 2 weeks on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean ( her choice as she is paying!). I am going to miss the Strat and all of you argumentative lot so play nicely. I am not sure if I will be able to access the t'interweb. I have heard that there is a band on board so I will go check them out.

Have a good 'un! Hey, why not take the Strat and see if they're willing to let you jam with the on-board band?  :D

Used to have a teacher who worked in a cruise ship band for a few years, he got so minted it was rediculous, because he basically just hung out like any other passenger on the ship until it was time to play, amassed a bunch of money as there was little opportunity to fritter away his earnings (everything on the ship, bar included, was free to staff!) and when he finally got back to shore after a stint he'd find his bank account looking overly bloated.

Wish I had taken an instrument to grade 8 when he told me about that.  :?

Thank you guys-I am back. I had a great time. Blimey you have been posting like crazy and I have been on here for ages trying to work my way through. Don't ask for pics-Mrs 38th filled up two 2gb sd cards with pictures that silly b*ll*cks here will have to sort out at some point.

Hey dude, welcome back.

Yes yes I know, "it didn't happen etc." I just have to find the strength to download the 2000 pictures that Mrs 38th took and the 700 odd that I took and perhaps post one of those. I am a bit busy with our paperwork for the business plus have gigs this weekend so it'll be a little while but I'd sure hate to disappoint my forum bro's.

Did you go around the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia? I've heard its supposed to be amazing there. 2700 pics ouch!

Yeah its been pretty quiet around here...oh yeah something strange did happen, Roo succumbed to the shape of a Tele, tried one out, couldn't believe what he's been missing all these years and commissioned Wez to make him one.  I know, I had to sit down for a bit too.

Yes we sailed up and down the Dalmation coast and it is beautiful. It is just like a branch of "Islands R Us" or "Islands U Like" ( yes we get the picture). I am still wading through the pictures at odd moments- tis truly a mammoth task. The grass needs cuttings, windows cleaning etc etc plus a stack of paperwork for the shop and gigs, I am a tad busy right now.

I only got back from Majorca on Saturday night.  If only I'd have known you were there we could have met up for a couple of dodgy beers and some Tapas.

That would have been good- you are right. Meanwhile I have posted some pics on my Facebook page but haven't here yet and I have a rehearsal tonight and I am out for the next four nights so I doubt whether I will get to it and by the time I do you will all be past caring.
