Loony Log
Im starting training for CC in a couple of months, can't wait to be back in the land of the mad and the sad!!
I used to work for a cross channel ferry company and we used to keep a Loony Log at reception where we recorded the classics of the day; the crew used to love reading it.
PAX "How long is the crossing?"
ME "Five and a half hours sir"
PAX "Is that in English or French time?"
Der....
We used to have a cinema on board and showed recently released films but they were in English with no subtitles. One day a French guy came to the desk and asked in very broken English....
PAX "What films you show today?"
ME "Rob Roy and 101 Dalmations" [shows how long ago this was!]
PAX [clearly not understanding] "Er...en Francais?"
ME "Rob Roy et cent et un dalmations" [hardly any different from English]
PAX "OK Merci!"
Bless!
These threads have just reminded me of what Im going to have to look forward to...I cant wait!!!
