Cruise Snobs

Neville

Cruise Snobs

 

Here on the uppermost deck

where there

is not one single Adonis

  or Aphrodite ..

A whole shit load of posers

and masses

of cellulite, bad manners

and cheap bling

appear to have been thrown

together and then

tossed like some grandiose

ego salad

  around the hot tub and bar ..

Which is maybe

why I feel most comfortable

  down below ..

    The height of bad taste. You brought me some imagery best left covered up but you made me laugh out loud. Always best to feel comfortable down below. Hilarious and a reminder of why ocean cruises aren’t on the bucket list. Good morning Neville.

      KP always dashes to the uppermost deck. She has to, or the fishermen will catch her, being an old trout! lol.

          'Tis why she don't stay on the lower decks - too near the sea. Though they would throw that trout straight back in again, if they caught her!

          He he! This made me chuckle while I was sympathizing with you. Flamboyance is what they call a flock of flamingoes, I learned today. I thought of that when I read about your Cruise Snobs…

            I learnt something today also .. thanks a smillion my friend .. Neville

            I still have disturbing flashbacks of seeing beer gutted middle aged men wearing g-strings.

            • Neville



              Yes, there were those too .. we called em speedo snobs .. 😎

              Bad bling bad manners and bad taste in music , brings to mind two important observations
              While its so logical and easy to decide an immediate plan of avoidance ,
              It’s impossible to fathom how that culture not only exists but seems to recently exponentially grow?

                I do believe my next cruise starts off in Miami, in June .. but I get your drift & so glad you got mine Bobby O .. Neville

                  Simpatico !

                  Cringe, my waistline has now reminded me more than is adequately required that I’m just like everybody else. To body shame oneself is quite an inconsolable situation. But hey, happy new year N!

                  • Neville



                    thanks and back at you my fine fellow .. N 🙂

                    Excellent. You can't buy class and character.

                    • Neville



                      Thank you Tom, that's for sure .. well the bit about class & character is anyway .. Neville

                    • Christina8

                      OMG! Your imagery you paint made me laugh! I wonder why they are attracted to the upper deck when they are clearly not suited for it. Priceless!

                      • Neville



                        thank you Christina .. I could let on but would probably get banned from MPS again ..

                      • Teddy.15

                        Are you sure you weren't on a cruise somewhere in Croydon! LOL hilarious stuff.

                        • Neville



                          Hey Teddy its so good to see you .. Hope you are back now for the long haul ..

                          Nothing there to cause the slightest disturbance down below........

                          Floating horizontal tower blocks occupy much space at Circular Quay, Sydney on a weekly basis...but never enough, as the dollars bought in with them mount say one and all (nah - strike the one...)

                          • Neville



                            ................................ Cheers Dave 😎👍
