Today, from just outside of St. Thomas, John fills us in on the Bloggers Cruise happenings… and of course, the weather report for all the places he isn’t.
Look, friends — there are a few things you should remember before you comment. The space below is for you to post your comments about the post I've just written above. If it is something that's unrelated, please use the Ask John tab above. Now, while I may not be able to reply to your comment below, I do sit in my underpants almost every morning and read everything that is here. So feel free to comment on the comments and then if someone wants to comment on the comment to the comment then go ahead as well. Please be courteous unless the poster is French...........then you can say whatever you want.
Here’s a neat idea (at least I think so!!!). Why don’t we start a new video series, John Heald job-shadowing a cruiser’s everyday life! To be followed by the cruiser job-shadowing John Heald.
You teach for me for a week and I’ll cruise with you for a week. The possibilities are endless and fun for all.

Hi John – after the battering about smoking today I thought you could use a little humour (spelt correctly)
*THE ENGLISH are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to
“Peeved.”
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or
even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the
…Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been
re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when
threatened by the Spanish Armada.
*THE SCOTS have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s
Get The Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason
why they have been used on the front line of the British army for the
last 300 years.
*THE FRENCH government announced yesterday that it has raised the
terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in
France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a
recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively
paralyzing the country’s military capability.
*AUSTRALIA, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No Worries”
to “She’ll Be Alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain:
“Crikey! I Think We’ll Need To Cancel The Barbie This Weekend!” and “The Barbie Is Canceled.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
– *John Cleese – British writer, actor and tall person*
Love the release of the REAL treat levels. So what is said about USA, are we at the” Opps I cramped my Pants” state or are we at THE “Gee though we paid them already” stage.
Let Us know ???
Thanks so much for posting this, you had us ex pat Brits in stitches with some good British humour (spelt correctly)
Don’t forget,
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
The Germans also increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and “Sing Marching Songs”.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose.”
LOOOOOOOOOOVE the re-caps of the BC4. Keep ‘em comin’ and thanks sooooo much for sharing, oh bearded ones.
WIWT…
My hubby and I are getting ready to sail on Sunday on the Pride. What is all the fuss about the Chef’s Table? We will be celebrating the 6th anniversary of our meeting on March 9–should we book it??
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! oh and absolutely YES. We did it on the Freedom last week…best meal I EVER ate even better than a $150 dinner per person at Le Cirque NYC

Wish I was there!
