A discussion of the possibility of an enhanced virtual cruise

I’m tempted to open up a new Argy bar……..

A summer jamboree, maybe?
All those bikinis will be going to waste otherwise.

Shirley48 @ 16.19, exactly so, thank you. If you do decide to open a new Argy Bar, I'll pop in if you can guarantee that Big Jim will be there; he was always popular!

Fabulous Turner painting Joseanne thanks for sharing.

Oh, I know Tone.
Tony carpet - used to have a shop selling offcuts years ago.
That Tone?

Antonius surely!

Toni’s Taverna? ??
Go to maintain the Tone.

Have you been looking in my wardrobe, MissAdventure?! I have dozens of itsy bitsy teeny tiny polka dot bikinis (ha! In my dreams!)

Yes, maybe some refreshing cocktails, with exotic names……

Brilliant idea! Pina coladas at the ready? ??????

How about an Italian lake crawl starting with a trip on the Bernina Express to get to know each other first? Any one who derails the thread or causes trouble can be removed at St. Moritz to do a bit of free fall. We might see narmuts and ibex.
Now where have I put Gino d'Acampo's number? ? ? ?

I now have visions of GN members flailing down a snowy mountain, that will teach them a lesson indeed.
I like to read the comments on any foreign virtual holiday tour.

The cocktail names are half the fun of ordering them.

My friend, on holiday asked a barman if he could give her a "screaming orgasm".

Then said "Oh, if I'd known you were going to take so long, I'd have done it myself!"

I thought Argy style referred to a more casual, chatty, friendly, humorous style of communication as previously exemplified on Gransnet on the threads centred on a virtual pub, The Argy. It’s a style of humour that some people here do not like / understand? A bit risqué, a bit letting yourself go, having actual fun……

I was thinking it may be like Gangnam Style and was prepared to do a happy dance.
I do enjoy a drink and friendly chat though so may we have a bar on the this next cruise?

sorry Shirley48 I did not see your comment.
are we all in the bar now? I would enjoy a cocktail right now.

Have fun!

Come and have a cocktail, MissAdventure?

I may pop on for a slow comfortable screw against the wall.
Just a quicky, though.

I’ll alert the waiters to your requirements…

A bit of a mouthful.
And also a quick, slow, comfortable screw against the wall.

I’m sure someone in The Argy will be able to fulfil your needs

I have now started a thread for the non-Argy virtual cruise from Venice along the river Po.

The reason for the delayed start is so that the virtual cruise from Mainz along the river Main can continue uninterrupted towards and then at its destination of Bamberg and any side trips both from Bamberg and during the transit from Bamberg to Venice can take place unhurriedly.

Ok. Just checking that by non Argy you mean no banter/joking? I’m not attacking you… (although I do feel I shouldn’t have to specify that..just dont fancy being deleted) just asking.

If you’re planning Italian learning this you may need to tone down the not mentioning non vegan food…they aren’t big on that in Italy !

Hello Lucca.

You wrote Ok. Just checking that by non Argy you mean no banter/joking?

That is correct.

I think there is scope for there being a number of separate threads, each thread having its own style, then readers can choose to prticipate in one, some, all, or none, as they wish, and if everybody respects the style of the thread that they happen to be in, then that could be good.

> If you’re planning Italian learning this you may need to tone down the not mentioning non vegan food…they aren’t big on that in Italy !

Well, I didn't put it in the heading post of the new thread, so as to, as one might say, meet half-way, but if there are multiple threads where food is mentioned that if meeting half-way in the thread that I have started were to happen, well, then that would be good.

*You wrote Ok. Just checking that by non Argy you mean no banter/joking?

That is correct.*

Ok so that’s pretty proscriptive isn’t it ?

Enjoy your cruise though,

Aperol spritz anyone?
