After 3 days, I think EVERY deck would become a poop deck.
(And stay away from the so-called "Chocolate Buffet")

No toilet is not a problem on British trains. Why is it a problem on a boat?

YIKES! don't be swimming in THAT pool!

Just be glad that they didn't have a case of that stomach bug that has been infecting cruise ships lately. That could have gotten really messy!!!!

She was unable to confirm how long the toilets had been out of action for.
Paging Mr. Language Person. Mr. Language Person, please dial 7448.

What they didn't mention was that Mr. Twigg had been constipated for a week before embarking on this cruise. He was much more comfortable after passing a turd that he later said was "the size of Newcastle."
That the plumbing problems followed soon after was a complete coincidence.

Based on the math for cleaning up poo on British trains, this situation sould cost ~£9000000 to remedy.

I'm glad Noah didn't have this problem.

Mayhem is not a good word to describe 1450 people on a boat for three days without toilets.It does not do justice to the situation at all.Might I suggest odiferous goat f**k.
Posted by: ron | October 24, 2006 at 12:18 PM
Ron - Yes, I do believe I remember that from our lifeboat drill....."In case of odiferous goat f*ck, it's every man for himself. And remember, the crew has weapons."

I smell many pending lawsuits . . .

First things first: Yay, Wyo!!
Now,
"A spokeswoman said: "The team of 10 experts will be working through the night to ensure that the problem will be sorted."
How does one get to be an expert on the vacuum system of cruise ship toilets, and how the hell do you round up 10 of 'em?

*channeling the great lyricists who hang out here
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the pipe that's ahead of me
On board, I'm a crapin', so climb aboard
We'll search for plumbing on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to hold on
I look to the bowl, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot for turds
But we'll try best that we can to hold on
A gathering of poo poos appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come flush away, come flush away
Come flush away with me
Come flush away, come flush away
Come flush away with me
I thought that they were poo poos, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their toilet and headed for the skies
Singing come flush away, come flush away
Come flush away with me
Come flush away, come flush away
Come flush away with me

DPC, that was... psychedelically scary.
Wow.
Just wow.
I'll be curled up under my desk, if anyone needs me.

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of stools
Five long days I been holdin' it in
when I saw the state the cabin was in
the carpet was soakin'
but I walked in like a fool
what looked like a snake squished beneath my shoes
Chain, chain, chain, chain of stools
Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll got enough strength
I told you to clean it up
and snake out the drains
or I'll introduce you
to a whole new world of pain
I'll add you to the chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain of stools
One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Ew.
That is all.
Posted by: Clean Hands | October 24, 2006 at 12:43 PM
Stain, stain , stain (Stain, stain , stain)
Stain, stain , stain (Stain, stain , stain)
Stain, stain , stain (Stain, stain , stain)
Stain, stain , stain Stain of stools
For three long days
I thought this was my cruise
But I found out, we’re just a holdin’ our stain
Oh, they got us where they want us
We ain’t nothin’ but their fools

My friend has a poodle that won't go outside if it's raining. He just backs up til his butt hangs off the porch and cranks one out. That's what I'm picturing with all those passengers. Talk about your "moon" light cruises.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 01:21 PM
I have this song...Robert Poot right?
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 01:21 PM
sorry...my bad with the double post
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 01:27 PM
There's Brown Trout runnin' out by the Canaries!
Posted by: Matt | October 24, 2006 at 01:47 PM
Would that be considered flotsam or jetsam? I always get those two mixed up.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 24, 2006 at 01:54 PM
"Look 'ere Maude. An ad for a cruise to the Canary Islands for only £389. Wot could possibly go wrong?"
Posted by: Ernie G | October 24, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Things could just look up at the great Poop Deck in the Sky. (I didn't realize that it was located just behind the big dog).
Posted by: | October 24, 2006 at 03:05 PM
lab -- technically, it would all be "jetsam" ... since all the "byproducts" would be "jettisoned" ... so to speak ...
As to "flotsam" ... only the material that floats would be "flotsam" ...
Sorta gives new meaning to the phrase "That turd won't float ..." doesn't it?

"One couple, Derek and Lorraine Twigg, from West Yorkshire, boarded the ship as a birthday treat."
Happy Birthday, Baby!!! I'm thinking about remodeling the loo at home. Want to??
