true

PomBearAtTheGatesOfDawn · 28/09/2011 18:18

Oh la!

Hair gels?

Evening Cap'n

Space at your table for a little one?

Pagwatch · 28/09/2011 18:25

I am no longer a gel. I must practice my disapproving glance and possibly mutter "for shame" more often

MadameDefarge · 28/09/2011 18:25

Alack, alas, has been many moons since I had a proper beau!

'Tis monstrous sultry aboard the good ship IPOAT, when next we reach harbour? Can we have a proper adventure?

I missed brotherdullardthecreepy. He sounds quite a catch.
Did you find him somewhere near relationships?

Fiderer · 28/09/2011 18:29

Although if an adventure were on offer, I'm game. Perhaps just one more.

Pagwatch · 28/09/2011 18:29

Here, the main sail needs replacing.

Fiderer · 28/09/2011 18:30

Mistress Hully found him.

I rest my portmanteau is a delightful phrase

After having the good fortune to marry Johnny some time ago, I have kept away from the scandalous goings-on. However, we are now returned and I fear his attention may wander...

MadameDefarge · 28/09/2011 18:35

'Ere we return to the Hall, I feel a briedf (balloon like) stop in Buenos Aries is needed....hark! I see mountains! I hear rhythmic music pulsing from the beach! We approach the port! The longboats await!

Gather your pantaloons and fans and dance cards, and let us frolick with the latin lovelies awaiting us upon the pier!

CaptainHornblower · 28/09/2011 18:35

(I've been trying to have an adventure, Mimi, but the players lack vim of late. I blame the weather)

Land Ho! The Azores hove into view e'en now, my Lady Defarge.

I fear, Mistress Fiderer, 'twill be a long time afore we return you To The Hall.

Ah, yes, I see you are correct! Of course 'tis Buenos Aires, and not, in fact, The Azores. How did I miss that land mass?

I thank thee. They might actually come in handy for trussing up BrotherDTC.

He spends most of the day pretending to pray while being in reality half-cut on cheap brandy and most of the night cavorting with the crew. He claims he moves them in mysterious ways.

RatherBe · 28/09/2011 18:38

An easy mistake. Especially after a pint of rum.

Pagwatch · 28/09/2011 18:38

Ah, buenos Aries. That explains the heat.

MadameDefarge · 28/09/2011 18:39

Welcome, beootiful ladeez! Welcome to our splendid city which never sleeps! High born hidalgos and honest gauchos await you at the reception at my palace tonight! I have brought you mantillas, fans, and rather great spotty flamenco dresses, Hola!

RatherBe · 28/09/2011 18:39

I meant Buenos Aires was an easy mistake!

CaptainHornblower · 28/09/2011 18:41

This one looks a bit wet
