Very close! Michael Karl (with a K) is right. I'd rather not post my last name but it is very unusual.

I don't buy download-only games. Never have, never will........Mike

Ah, Terry, - your earnest candour is always a treat for the soul.  I completely take back what I had said in another thread about older vs. younger men, btw.   I had said that just to irritate Caroline, anyway...    [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]        [smiley=angel_smiley.gif]

Then I thought afterwards; "Oops but what about all the older than 35 men on this site that I just adore and that are a tonic for the soul...??   :-[      :-X

I love y'all .  You're great!   8-)

Too late Trav.  Terry and SirDave and Anthony and Inland are on MY boat.  
 I'd have Ivinia but I think he'd prefer to be on yours.

Well, I think we should have our boats travel in tandem with a gangway inbetween, so we can come and go between the two boats as we please...  


Just think: we'll have the best of both worlds that way...

Nah, silly, Caroline thought you fell into the under 35 group.


Contrary to legend, there were actually 13 Knights of the Round Table.


...and the latter knight, it would seem, definitely falls into the over 350 group... when was KA around?   A looooong  loong time ago...

Were that 13 counting with or without the Black Knight? You know, the one with "just a flesh wound!"

Yes I don't want the black knight.  Rowdy, argumentative, messy young man.  Send him to Traveller's boat.   [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]

Mark - didn't Mr Mumbles tell you?  What sort of agent is he?  You should fire him.   You're booked as the pianist for the entire trip.  The pay is lousy, the cabin miniscule but the food will be delicious, the weather delightful and the scenery divine.  What better gig could there be?  [smiley=angel_smiley.gif]

On the other hand, he's persistent, hard-working, and he won't let injury faze him.  He'd make a great boatswain---if he had any limbs, anyway!

Mark is mine coz he's a musician, and my boat is where the artists and musicians also go. Terry is a writer so he belongs on my boat, and so do you, for that matter!    [smiley=rofl.gif]

Did I forget to mention my boat is also where the SF and fantasy nerds go?  I almost forgot: Anthony is mine, because of his oh so very artistic photography skillz, so is Inland because he is a PC tech nerd, Shadow cooks for me, Colpet can teach us Jazz dancing, Arkadia can lend glamour and regale us with horror stories, Karla and Chris will paint the scenery for us... er..   SirDave can.. keep all the nerds informed about the latest news on the iPad, and..

CONCLUSION:  We need to make it one big boat where we can all enrich one another with our various personalities.  I'll relinquish my captaincy of my boat to you, Caroline, if you will allow my under 35 crew to join in the fun.  
Then you can be the Mighty PirateTM, and I promise I shall bow to your rulership...   [smiley=angel.gif]

Lady Kestrel can play us some classical music and regale us with haunted tales from Mystery Manor, as well as provide us with some puzzles and trivia contests, with which SuperEdy would be glad to help, I'm sure,
and... Ivinia and sexy Agustin will keep is in stock with games,  and..

I'm all for big tents, big boats and big parties!

Anyway, Traveller, you shouldn't fight too hard to be captain.  Captains have lots of responsibilities, which just means they have less time to have fun and mingle.

All this quibbling is wearing me down.  I have been yacht shopping and have made an Executive Decision.   Fun though I think it would have been to have slummed it around the Med, BBQing whatever we pulled out of the ocean, the sheer effort of organising the roster for washing up and cleaning the place, has diminished my enthusiasm considerably.  So this is it.     

As the blurb says:  An outstanding addition to the world’s mega-yacht fleet, RM ELEGANT is the ultimate in luxury and style. Built for the ultimate charter experience, her vast deck space includes a Jacuzzi on the sun deck, surrounded by an extensive sunbathing area, ideal for evening parties as well. Her gracious saloons offer an unassuming elegance with live entertainment on the grand piano in the main reception, or home entertainment facilities in the second reception. With her many secluded areas, as well as large entertainment spaces, RM ELEGANT is the perfect mega yacht for both relaxing and entertaining. An exceptional crew will offer silver services on board.

Plenty of spaces for quiet (or rowdy) conversation, trivial or nerdy.

There are only 15 cabins but they do convert to twin beds.  So decide who you can tolerate as a cabin mate and get your application in.

Twin beds? Cabin mate?

I'm bringing my own main squeeze and we would prefer a full-sized berth in a private cabin with adjoining head.

Anybody who might like to share a cabin with me can PM me.  Male or female, provided it is clear that in my case, the sharing will be strictly platonic. (Well, definitely at first, anyway...   :
)
