CYBER CRUISE TO THE SOUTH EAST COAST OF THE UK

WELCOME TO THE CRUISE !



For the worried women about her hairdo, this is not needed !

Before we start it is maybe better to eat something especially for our captain Mrs. Lifecruiser because she is always hungry. And from stopping her to say all 5 minutes that she is hungry, here are some sausages and and icecream. Sausages are very good in the UK and there are a lot of different kinds.


Beer is very good too and of course the traditional cup of tea which is a must !



When we come back from our excursion you may have a glass of champaign which I brought with me from Belgium. Alcohol is very expensive in the UK at least 1/3 more expensive then in Belgium. This counts also for tobacco, cigarettes cost about 8 € against 4.30 € in Belgium. But these prices don't hinder people to smoke like chemneys. A lot of them roll their cigarettes then it's cheaper.

Since a few months smoking is not allowed anymore not even in pubs which even bothers non smokers because there is not the same ambiance anymore. Not to loose their clients Pub owners put table and seats outside when they have enough space and to many of Pub visitors this looks too "french". A lot of them complain that the typical charm of a Pub is lost with this law. Pub is the abreviation of Public House and exists since the 13th century. As many houses had no heating, people used to go in Pubs to warm up. There is a whole history about Pubs here.

And now please open here



This is for Captain Mrs. Lifecruiser after the visit !

HOW TO BE A GOOD JOURNALIST

Sitting in front of my screen I thought if I would be a journalist and had to write everyday something for a newspaper what would I write if I had just nothing to write ?? For reporters of daily news there is no problem at all. There are every day catastrophes, wars, people killed or kidnapped, that's a very easy job. But the poor journalist who has to write about people what should he write when nothing has happened ??

That really is a big problem but can easily be solved. For example you see Camilla looking a little fat, you write "Camilla pregnant ??" and knit a story around how amazing it is that at 60 she is now expecting a new heir to the throne and the next day you ask the population in which position would then be the other members of the family. After that you can write that it was an error and that her butler was wrong. Or you take the poor Elvis and pretend you had seen him just yesterday on the street eating fish and chips with mayo and that he lives now in Scotland ! Not only Scotland will be very thankful to you because the Tourist Office will have a lot of work, Hotel rooms will be booked and the whole economy increase. Your newspaper will have an enormous sales increase and everybody will be happy. Nobody cares that poor Elvis is still in his grave in Graceland.

There are such a lot of things to write about with a little phantasy and that is also why these papers never run out of subjects.

But I am not a journalst not even a reporter and instead of inventing that I winned a "certain" amount in the lotery and would tell you tomorrow what I intend to do with it (to have another subject for tomorrow) I found something very interesting on my friend and compatriote Sanni's blog !

I draw a pig !! Just to know who I am !

And this is my pig ! Drawn with a mouse !! not easy at all !


And the pig said :

You drew the pig:

Toward the middle, you are a realist.

Facing front, you are direct, enjoy playing devil's advocate and neither fear nor avoid discussions.

With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker.

With 4 legs showing, they are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.

The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are.
The bigger the better. You drew large ears, you are a great listener!

The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.
And again more is better! You drew medium sized tail (only because I didn't have any room left on the top !!!)

And if you also want to know more about you thanks to a pig, just go here.

Don't forget that tomorrow I will take the Cyber Cruise to the North East coast of the UK ! To become member contact our captain Mrs. Lifecruiser.
