[BITList] palin qe2

hugh

you are right -  tina fey was the gifted comedienne taking le piss, but a remarkable likeness in mannerism and appearance to ms palin

however, tina was only a few degrees off the real sarah palin, governor of alaska - who, but for a few million voters and a pull of a trigger, would be the president of the land of the free, home of the brave!  not a pleasant thought.....................

from what I have seen of the real palin in tv interviews, she is as ditzy as the saturday night live parody..............................................

farewell from the clyde for qe2 -- I was onboard her each time she arrived in southampton in 1969 - almost weekly. someone in a white boiler suit would present me with a long list of claims against the builders risk policy, we then had a run round to see what the items were. after some months it suddenly stopped. I was a staff surveyor with the salvage association at the time. 

hope your colds are over rapidly. a tumbler of whisky (I almost typed, "scotch" - is there any other kind?), lemon juice, honey and boiling water is my favourite remedy for a cold; no doubt you have tried it.

does nothing for the cold, but it sure gives a good nights sleep - tastes good too.

  Colin,

  Despite her new found fame, I wouldn't know Mrs Palin if I fell over her on Sauchiehall Street on a clear day, so I trust that was a gifted comedienne taking le piss.  If otherwise, for god's sake don't tell me.

  We missed the farewell from the Clyde to the QE2, Janet being in bed with a nasty cold, and me coming down with one. Daughter and son-in-law offered a lift down to Greenock to see her, but it's just as well I declined - they didn't get near. They tried vantage points on the hills, and these were packed out also. We saw her last year, and I was aboard her in drydock when she was fitting out just before her trials, so that will have to do.

  Hugh.
