Hello everyone, love me or hate me, the 'Wild Man' is back!

Thanks for all your support and threats (i.e. come back or else). I did not realise that I had so many friends out there! In my absence my head could have easily expanded to twice it's normal size, but instead I feel rather embarrassed and very humble. I certainly agree with the comment 'too much fussing!'

Remember, CruiseTalk is bigger than any one individual (except Joe!) It will carry on regardless! And no, I'm not anyones alter-ego - I'm very real!

Ok, enough silly stuff, lets talk ships and cruises...

I returned for the sake of my fans!

Joking aside, I had so many kind Emails from a great bunch of folks, I just got too home sick.

(Plus there was the fear that someone would overtake my number of posts!)

SOOOOooooooo .... Malcolm ? ( I think )
Barryboat ? Joe ? Who really cares ... ?
I think it was begining to get out of hand
wouldn't you say ? It's a good thing Joe
( I guess Joe ) pulled the " plug " before
everyone mutinied, ( awful funny though )
just before things got out of hand entirely.

One thing for sure, your little fiasco, or
whatever it was, sure made some of us look
foolish, and some of us will have a HARD
time believing WHO you claim you are.

Delete this if you want, Joe, but there are
some of us that have more than a seventh
grade education.

In closing, this would be a lot better
forum if some of us could stop playing
games ( you know who you are )

John B. ( or so you think )

Kbozman, I think that the games/fun are truly over!

I'm certainly not Joe or Barrboat, that is an insult to them both. The reason my handle is 'Malcolm' is because that's my name. I really am sitting here in London, at 11.20pm and it's raining outside.

Lets all concentrate on ships and cruising, and regard recent events as a bad dream!

Thanks for the kind comments Terri

I don't have a baby, unless you think Barryboat and myself are the same person? Heaven forbid!

WB-welcome back
I must admit that I love the idea that anyone would have the time and the material to create 3 very different e-persons as malcolm, barrboat and joe.
But back to the business at hand. And that seems to me to be learning about classic liners, keeping up with the ones still in service, and spreading info on saving any possible.
(BTW, joe, if I went to far in the mission, please feel free to emend.)

Here, here, very well said! Although I enjoy a joke and some fun, "ships" are the reason why we are all here

No problem Terri.

Has Magnum been here recently? CruiseTalk is turning out to be more like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'!
