Bon Voyage, Matriarch of The AH!

[Guest]

Perdita, I was going to add to the many best wishes you are getting in Abstrusions, but I thought your wonderful trip warranted a thread of its own.

You will be greatly missed around here, but don't think of us while you are riding a gondola.

Have a great holiday and a brilliant Christmas.

Now, take a few deep breaths and do a few cartwheels or sommat.

Aw, Loulou, thank you soooooooooooooooo much. I really have to go now (shower, etc., check my passport again, wrap all those condoms ).

Even though I'll be in my idea of paradise, I really will miss my favourite people here. Abby had the best idea: to imagine all of you sending me off at the airport. I'm going to do it, and during takeoff (scary bit for me, and the landing).

Surprize me in Yorkshire, Loulou!

ta, Perdita

(for the head buggerlugs, my fave twat*: )

*no, not you, Lew

 

[alyxen]

Have a safe, wonderful trip 'dita!

 

[Guest]

LOL! So many last minute things to check.

I will do my utmost. Whatever happens, takes loads of pics!

Take care, sweets, and imagine us all flashing you at the airport.

Same here, just don't drink the canal water, look what it did to Kate Hepburn. Not even if someone dares you to.

Get as many of those little bottles of booze and peanuts when you're on the plane, they could come in handy if you find yourself lost or bored.

Ass pinching is acceptable, so don't smack anyone with your purse. Politely say, Grazie.

Don't say to the gondolier man...."My that's a big pole you have there" The translation will be lost in it's true meaning.

Take some spices with you, Brit food can be bland.
Remember: Chips=french fries Crisps=potato chips.

Stock up on Cadbury.

Loo,Lou, Lew are not interchangable.

Don't laugh at Og's cake.

Just some tips so you don't embarrass us Americans.

Have the most incredible trip, we'll be waiting to hear all the good stuff and want a thread full of pics.

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad y Nuevo Ano chiquita. Safe journey and give all the gang hugs from us here.

Love ya babe

LOL! He never did say whether or not he laughed at that. I did.

Be gone!

...Don't laugh at Og's cake.

Why not? Everyone else does.

I'll wear it to be easily recognised. If I can walk into a Yorkshire pub with a cake on my head then no one else has any reason to be worried about making a fool of themselves.

Og who will NOT be wearing the tights (panyhose) that go with my Henry VIII costume. When in Yorkshire, do as the locals do, and Yorkshire men DO NOT WEAR TIGHTS.

There is no need for you to be afraid during airplane travel. All you need to do is light a candle to Saint Joseph of Cupertino, the patron Saint of air travellers and everything will be OK!

Have a good trip!

Yorkshire men DO NOT WEAR TIGHTS.

Oh yes we do! (panto season)

Safe in our softer, femine side and secure in our varied sexuality we wear what we like. Towards the end of the evening during the darker hours we also wear bruises, black eyes and bloody noses to match, kindly donated by the 'real' men who sometimes go to extreme lengths to prove beyond dispute their virility.

Take care Perdita, find a cafe to download your pics of Venice.

See you soon.
