Virtual cruise from Venice along the river Po with the option to learn some Italian

ok, thanks for clarifying. I am not usually rowdy hen party, but do sometimes have a " toilet" sense of humour, so maybe it would be best if I didn't join this time around because I don't want to get anyone into trouble or in fact detract from your efforts. But I hope you all enjoy your sail!

HI - don't all laugh at once, but what is Argy humour, please? I don't want to get chucked overboard once we set sail because I didn't know. I hope this isn't a derailment.

Basically, rowdy hen party smut.

River Po is lending itself to Argy humour

But it would take a human being to apply it.

It is a matter for you as to whether you make a choice to do that, or to respect that this is mixed company.

I haven’t heard the term ‘mixed company’ since my pearl clutching MIL died, bless her.

That is interesting to know.

What's wrong with Argy humour, please? Why is it not allowed? I enjoy it and have seen all the other women here enjoying it on other threads.

If you would like to discuss that please consider starting a new thread, For example in Chat or in Site issues. Or wherever you consider best.

For the avoidance of doubt I did not say it was not allowed, as if dictating,

I wrote the following.

> Can we have tacit agreement that the ambience is non-Argy please, as it is mixed company, and anyway not everyone wants Argy humour. The river Main virtual cruise was non-Argy.

I would have preferred vegan, but I have swayed in the breeze over that.

However, if Argy humour happens amongst some people then I would need to leave the thread. I will not become embrangled in it.

I am entirely willing to discuss that and debate the issue, but not in this thread as such a discussion would derail this thread.

Just seen on the map that the Po runs close to Modena. I'd love to stop off there and visit the Casa Museo Luciano Pavarotti.

Sorry to hear that Fanny maybe a kip in the stateroom is called for.

Okay, will do
Do you know, (of course you don’t!) I’ve been awake since midnight ?

Hello
I just meant that I thought that a lot of posters would be upset (there really are a lot of deletions) and that it might be difficult to get things going again.
Not that I think that it shouldn’t (get going, that is)
Good luck with your German one too SD. (I love Durer and will look at that museum later)

Best to just move on. Live in the present and the future. Dream forward.

Excuse the pun, StarDreamer, but I think that that ship may have sailed

No, the cruise ship is due to depart on Monday.

Some travellers are currently in Munich, hoping to arrive in Venice on Friday afternoon.

The plan is to start a new thread for the cruise on Friday afternoon, then have the weekend exploring Venice.

This thread has become a planning thread.

What do you mean FannyCornforth?

FannyCornforth

I’d better be quiet, I suppose ?

Your participation is welcome Fanny as you are always delightful and kind.

I hope you will try to join in the language learning too please.

If we could have a bit of a wander around over the weekend, before starting the cruise on Monday, that would be great. I'm happy with the non Argy ambience too!

Does one Duolingo learning lesson each day meet general approval?

If so, should it begin on Saturday in Venice, or should it begin on Monday as the cruise ship begins its journey from Venice towards the mouth of the river Po, or something else?

After the first Duolingo "circle" (what is the correct parlance?) of learning lessons is complete then revision exercises lessons will become available, which can optionally be done, and if done can be done either all at once or bit by bit later, returning to reinforce earlier learning after the learning lessons of other "circles" have been completed.

Participation in learning some Italian using Duolingo is entirely optional, however I hope that people will try at least the first lesson if they feel they can please as that does not need registration.

Can we have tacit agreement that the ambience is non-Argy please, as it is mixed company, and anyway not everyone wants Argy humour. The river Main virtual cruise was non-Argy.

Ma che diamine

I caught up with this thread in the early hours.
I must say that I’m shocked at the amount of deletions.
Some of the posts were a bit over the top, maybe a bit daft, but hardly worthy of deletion.
I didn’t realise that posts could be deleted for ‘derailment’.
