Virtual plane trip for Club Gransnet - where to?!

Italy please

I won't be stopping off in Oz if Les Patterson is there. Not unless he has washed the stains off his tie

AGAA4 If you don't mind, it's Sir Les and he'll never wash off those badges of honour, even if you're coming all the way from Wales.
It's a Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) tie and it's one way of smelling his presence when he greets you all!
OoRoo {That means cheers!)

Somewhere hot and tropical. Don’t worry about a return ticket.

If you’re talking First Class, even better.
A stop over in Melbourne and then on to Christchurch NZ would be great. FaceTime is wonderful, but I do miss seeing friends and family over there.

I would be happy just being on the plane, as i have never flown and it has always been my dream to do so.

I’d like to stop off at New York to see our son and family please. I’m not too choosy but business class and a constant stream of bubbly would be rather nice. Oh, almost forgot, can we please have door to airport transport?

Now there's a conundrum, Tweedle24.
Sicily for me, too, please, as a stop-over if you can conjure up the delightful commissario. (Might even unpack my cossie while we're there ?).

It does take a long time to get to grips with the vernacular, Pamela!

Callistemon
So tricky these foreign languages!

I love Sicily. May we drop off for some of those gorgeous blood oranges, please?

And some cannoli .......

Surely Europe is out at the moment as it’s Winter? Madrid has had heavy snowfalls.

I still think the Caribbean is the place to go this time of year.
We may get our pictures in newspapers, frolicking in the sea!
We may even be mistaken for footballers’ wives!

Footballers grannies more like.
The Caribbean does not contain my son ! So no to that one ta.

DD and SIL have a tinny too, Pamela

A tinny is a can of beer as well as a boat, I think
A stubby is a bottle of beer (I think)
But I don't like beer so I could be wrong

I won't be stopping off in Oz if Les Patterson is there. Not unless he has washed the stains off his tie.

callistemon
Do you mean stubby?
My DD has a tinny. She and her husband use it to fish from?
Up the river.

ronnie?? Who's ronnie?
Tinnie!!

Come on, Rufus, I remember that photo of yourself you posted online in your vest and thongs, ronnie in your hand!
Now you're trying to tell us you're all cultured like Sir Les Patterson, Cultural Attaché

Can you cope with a plane load of us?

He's an Ocker, if I dare say so
Calliistemon. No, you don't dare say so!
The term doesn't befit your cultural attache to Victoria who's not a "roughie" and doesn't speak Strine.

Looks like the strain of being locked down is beginning to show; you appear to have chewed about 5 of your corks.
Don't rely on replacing them here as we have gone up-matket, using screw-tops, at least on the wine bottles in my price range!
If you do replace the corks please bring the rest of the bottle and contents but don't bring that head-piece, otherwise Customs will have to take it out the back and have it shot!
Yes1 we still have a few flies left!

Thanks LauraNorder... how very obliging!

Of course, Nanna58!
Would love to hear more.

Can I get off at Namibia please, of all the countries I’ve visited I think I loved that the most !

Coo..ey, Rufus
We're on our way.
Put another snag on the barbie!
(Have I got that right?)

LauraNorder

Calli if you mean who I think you mean our cheerful Ocker was on Maws ‘reason to be cheerful’ thread.

Oh, I'll take a look, thanks LauraNorder

A relentlessly cheerful Ocker!

Already retracted notspaghetti, was just curious to see the Burj Al Arab as the interior ott decor looks pretty amazing. More than happy to strike it from the itinerary.
