General Chat

It did occur to Allan in one of his more lucid moments that Rick hadn't actually yet set off on his journey, just that his name had been put forward.

Surely there would be no hitch would there?

In the meantime Allan made merry.

Ooooo. A lot can happen in 90 kilometres. Especially if you,be been imbibing in Margaret river water.

He was certain that Rick would enjoy being the first person on Mars. He could set up the tents for the rest of the intrepid space travellers arrived a few years later.

Allan immediately contacted NASA and then went to enjoy many of the liquid fruits of Margaret River.

At least he was only ninety kilometres from home.

Oh you don't want to know it involves rolled up trousers legs and winking....

anyway first on the list was feel good send a friend on an adventure of a lifetime....now who to send thought Allan.........

Poor Allan. There he was, thinking he was safely back home - able to get on with -- whatever he gets on with!

So as everyone knows as soon as you get home from a holiday you feel like you need a holiday......so OH opened the computer at 50 fun trips you should take before you get too old to remember them and what should be first on the list but..............

they reached a Scouts' Jamboree, where everyone was singing, or mutilating, that good old scout song. " We're Riding Along on the Crest of a Wave"

That was also the anthem for hordes of surfers in Margaret River, and Allan knew that he and his wife were finally back home in WA

But of course it wasn't there were no dolphins and he hadn't technically hitchhiked...no he was in a Whale so that's what OH was screeching.....

On the horizon were the Whales lips! Allan needed more light so he lit a match....didn't do much good...then as luck would have it he found an old fashioned torch which he lit....it made a lot of stinky smoke which irritated the Whale no end.....spitting him out Allan caught up in a wave managed to grab OH who was waiting frantically outside...they rode off on the crest of the wave until......

Allan kept looking for an answer hoping it wasn’t,...

"This is not the plaice to be.". he thought, but what to do? How could he get OH away so that they could continue their travels?

Looking around, Allan noticed a possible opportunity, there on the horizon was...........

:-D :-D

Now Allan could hear her screeching clearly, a fact he regretted immediately.

What was she screeching about a well, wasn't there enough water here already.....

Suddenly it got very dark.....and he felt claustrophobic for some reason....

:-D

Allan could see that his wife was trying to shout something to him, but it was all a little indistinct.

He immediately put his hand in the water, caught a fish and stuck it in his ear.

That's better, thought Allan, adjusting his new herring aid :-P :-D

Oh for a big burly trawler man from Grimsby woed Allan.he cod put everything right.




:-D

Allan did a double-take.

Cold it be a Jumbly girl, for her head appeared green?

But as Allan drew ever closer he realised that it WAS his OH, who once again was being ravaged by seasickness.

She hung over the side of the dinghy alternatively feeding the fishes then calling for Huey.

Allan could also see that scoundrel, Rick, playing with the young lady's coconuts, but she was being a little shy.

Allan was relieved to se his OH was in a little boat away from Rick but was a bit concerned as Pea Green wasn’t,t really her colour!

Obviously, by these ramblings, one or both of them had been drinking sea water....

There was nothing for it Captain Nemo didn't need a madman on board...well no more as there was a crew of them already so he dropped Allan off in an inflatable life raft...gave him a compass and a flask of his sock soup and wished him good luck....

After a few minutes, Allan thought he heard the woman singing again......he rowed towards the sound...and who did he find but the young lady with the lovely bunch of coconuts with Rick on a luxury yacht and OH little dingy being trailed behind....

What luck thought Allan.....or was it.....

The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, “How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!”
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are yellow,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

:-D :-D

on hearing no more worries...Allan, as men tend to do, jumped to the wrong conclusion........well I never he thought now she's with Rick she has no more worries we'll see about that....

He turned the sub around and yelled full steam ahead he was off to find himself a fair maiden........

Of course, this being Allan and OH nothing runs smoothly.......

Allan’s OH knew that sounds could carry through water. So she got hold of a boat - speed rowed through the ocean and then sat there singing to Allan.

There was only one song that would get a reaction from Allan.

All togther now ——- We,re all going on a summer holiday. No .....
