Nick and Sam got married in America, so had their post-wedding bash at the Grain Barge in Bristol at the end of July. I’m not a big Facebook user, but as they used Facebook in part to get the bash together, and quite a lot of people there are users, I uploaded my pictures there. They are nothing special – just a bunch of people chatting, eating, drinking etc. in fancy dress, but if you know any of them it can be interesting. You should be able to see them here.

Thanks to a series of coincidences we got invited to a free lunch on the Arcadia. (I suppose P&O are still trying to improve their image after the sorry Dianne Brimble story). A tour of the ship followed. I was a barnacle in tow with Sarah who was there as the daughter of her father, Les, who had very fond memories of a trip many years ago with some of the other friends at our table.
The name of the ship was historically important to Australia – I think quite a number of the Ten Pound Poms, for instance, came on an earlier bearer of the name. To be sure there are a lot of people with better reasons to have been there, but that was the luck of the draw. Note the cameras and media presence in the slide show! Facit: food not at all bad, service excellent. What would those Victorian gentlemen who amused themselves dreaming up plurals call a large assembly of waiters? A canteen? Friday February 13th, 2009.

What’s a trifecta? It’s an Australian word, thought by Australians to be English. It means three things happening at once. So today, we start with happy birthday to Sarah:
Talking of Australia, you might not know that there is something here called a “Freedom of Information Act”, which means that you can pay a lot of money and wait quite long before being told officially and in writing (that’s the benefit to us) that – for reasons it has no need to explain and is not required to disclose – the government doesn’t want to give you the information you requested. You’ll all remember the Ministry of Truth? And the Ministry for Public Enlightenment? |
