Congratulations Tom. Well done, and have a good holiday.

Hard luck again, Taz . Don't give up though. Enjoy life and have fun finding the right girl

Well done Tom!!! Have an awesome holiday!



Good luck Taz, the UK is a pretty big place so hopefully there are some nice girls there

Sorry, Taz. You don't need a girl who messes with your head! There are lots of nice girls in the UK. One is waiting just for you.

Yay for Tommy! Did you have a big graduation ceremony and all?

I'm sorry, Taz *hug*...Rocky Road ice cream does a great deal of good for a broken heart ...

I can't guess what Plastic was up to at the weekend

Right there!

Thanks for all the thanks and stuff. I love you guys! There was a nice ceremony, yes, chika, and I got my diploma after waiting for three long hours.

I'm very sorry for you Taz, but I hope you've cheered up by now cos I've been late in reading this again! Oh well, there's more than one spoon of ice in a box of ice-cream, so grab a spoon!

Ok, after some requests, here it is: my holiday story.

My brother and father have a small boat together (a sort of tug boat) and we go on holiday with it every year, together with my uncle on his boat and a friend of his with another boat. This year we planned to tour around Belgium. But on the third day of the holiday, we were in a lock that morning, my uncle's friend gets a heart-attack. So we called a doctor, and an ambulance and he's taken to hospital. We bring the boats back to a harbour and go to the hospital to see how he is. There we here that he's been taken to Antwerp, a bigger hospital, where he is in intensive care. The only problem is that we and the boats are about 20 miles from Antwerp, and we still have the man's wallet and phone and keys and all his stuff. So the next day we leave the harbour and set for Antwerp. In the hospital we meet our friend and see that he is ok. He will be transported home soon, or to a hospital closer to his home. So we decide to sail on, and after a couple of days we return to take his boat back home with us.

In our home harbour we meet a couple on another tug-boat, who ask if we want to go with them on holiday together, with the boats. The problem is that they are these kinda people you're better off without, but you can't just say no, so we do that. The evening before we leave we all have dinner together, and the man who had the heart-attack is there too, so everything came off well for him in the end. We go with these other acquaintances (or however you write it) and set for Tilburg (in Holland) where there is some kind of boat-happening in the harbour. Problem is, the guy on the other boat can't sail properly, so he nearly rammed our boat twice and some other rather stupid things happened where someone nearly got hurt.

When we reach Tilburg, we find out we have problems with our propellor, so we'll have to get the boat out of the water to fix it. Three days later we have found one, and the problem is fixed. We sail on to Willemstad (in Holland too), where we meet some other friends who have a tug-boat too, and who are really nice people. We set off again to have another week of nice holiday. So we thought. But only two days later the toilet on the boat is not working properly anymore, so for that last week we didn't have a toilet on the boat, which is not pleasant, I tell you. Luckily we could use the toilet of our friends, but still... It's not nice anyway. Well that was it so far. Next month I'll be doing a holiday job, but I hope nothing unpleasant will happen anymore. I've had my share of bad luck, I think.

Actually sounds like quite a good holiday, Tom, unless you were the chap who had the heart attack. Toilets on boats is one of the things I'm still getting used to... None of the fishing boats I worked on ever had such a luxury. After all, with all that ocean around you, what's the point?
Far more pleasant for those around you too if you stick your.... No I won't go there!

'Wish You Were Here'
by Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell?
Blue skys from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish
How I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year.
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Sorry, I was extremely bored and I've just been dying to get that off my chest.

Thanks Val! All fixed now! Whew, almost got myself sued to death!

No I have not heard the Orb version, but it sounds interesting. Hmm...time to go MP3 hunting again!

[Edited on 8/11/02 by ProgHead777]

No, I have not heard it. I assume than it was recorded so perhaps I shall go hunting once more... I'm gonna need a bigger hard drive. David Gilmour and Douglas Adams. Never would have thought they'd be friends... seems an odd pair, dunnit?

The job is going fine, part from the fact that I cannot feel my arms anymore and I feel muscles hurt where I did not know I had muscles... I'm rubbing wooden furniture before you ask: "What are you doing?!".
