Upcoming Cruise

[nailit]

Bit disappointed with my upcoming holiday cruise.
Booked on a weekend cruise to visit Amsterdam and Antwerp next week.
Received the itinerary and the boat leaves Amsterdam at 5pm.
Wanted to sample Amsterdam's red light area at night!!!!

Guess that I will just have to make do with Antwerps diamond industry instead :-(
What a let down...

Window shopping never harmed anyone!

I never called you deluded.

Dear old Willem Ocean wouldn't go there on his Dutch tours ;-)

"I never called you deluded."

Then i would love to know the meaning behind "^^cloud cuckoo land?^^"

You need not answer, it's a rhetorical question. We should really just leave this overscrupulous back and forth.

[Rockrose]

Cloud cuckoo land is a state of absurdly, over-optimistic fantasy or an unrealistically idealistic state where everything is perfect. Someone who is said to "live in cloud cuckoo land" is a person who thinks that things that are completely impossible might happen, rather than understanding how things really are. It also hints that the person referred to is naive, unaware of realities or deranged in holding such an optimistic belief.

Incidentally, were all the thimbles used for prick protection?!

And that differs from the word deluded how?

[spathiphyllum]

"Incidentally, were all the thimbles used for prick protection?!"

LOL that was a good one :)

If you don't know the difference you should have paid more attention in school!
