I do - it is a secret shame ! I'm fine on big planes, but in very small planes and on ships, I get seriously bulimic. On any kind of sea voyage, except in the Med (no waves) it is a given that I will toss my cookies at some point. I just get on with it, it's inevitable anyway, so get it over with and moveon.org. I always feel much better afterwards. I once spent 9 hours of a 10 hour evening crossing between Plymouth and Roscoff, wedged in a corner out on deck in a howling gale, soaking wet, just so I could be outside and look at the horizon (that helps, btw) - I was never so happy to see France in my life !

Don't mind rough seas at all, prefer hitting the waves straight on though because it's easier to walk if your not going from side to side all the time! I think the worst crossing I've been on was from Plymouth to Roscoff, 10ft (20ft) waves hitting us side on and a force 8-9 gale just to top it all off.

Bulbous ?! I'm young and beautiful and thin and gorgeous, I'll have you know. I am cursed with a finely tuned sense of balance, and so anything unbalanced (such as yourself, Kirk !) causes me accute intestinal distress. It's is the price one pays for being so damn fabulous, I guess.

But you'll notice now that all the ferries departing Pudding Island for Civilisation are now all owned by European companies (Stena, Britanny Ferries etc) - we can cut you off any time we like bwwuuAAHHAHA ! So watch it, moosh.

Re: JGPH1A, there's a tunnel now, you know. I was always conviced it was a mistake to build that thing.
Yes, but don't worry, it's sorted - we can always have the French farmers and truckers to block it in protest - happens all the time Besides, we need the tunnel to send all our illegal immigrants through to England.
Banco - re the airports - we have our secret weapon for that too. French ATC. You might be able to get to Europe, but it will take a VERY long time (provided they're not on strike !).

The only time I get sick when I sail is after I have been drinking. And I love to sail. Especially on long distances. I feel so free on a ferry all alone in the middle of the ocean.

Come now, Banco - the UK loves immigrants, you get to mock them on TV and co-opt their cuisine as your own, all part of the rich multi-cultural fabric of the UK. Blimey, you let Kirkie stay, so your standards can't be THAT high

I haven't the least issue with immigrants. It's the sodding French that do my head in.
