8 Years ago (or so) there was a Ship of Fools Duck Meet. Rather a lot has happened in 8 years and I decided it would be a good time to organise another one, now that we are all older, wiser, etc...

The duck tour is a unique tour of London on an amphibious vehicle, and rather fun. We will be bringing rubber ducks. Duck Tour London Site

We are booking for the 1.30 Tour on Friday 3rd August and will be having a picnic on the southbank first if the weather isn't too atrocious. Yes it is over the Olympics but we won't be near the main traffic and more importantly this is the only day we can do!

Tickets can be purchased from above site. I won't be booking a group ticket this time, so first come first serve - there are currently tickets available, but they do book up.

So book a ticket, take a day off work and bring a duck...

Do you really think we're all that quackers? It was an amazing day out last time- just try keeping me and the Smudgelet away from it this time. Count us in (and I'll worry about getting the time off work later!)

Ooh, I'd love to come. I'd have to bring the two small niminies -- are other people bringing children? Will have also to think about the practicalities as the eldest niminy isn't at all good with groups of new people...

It's not officially recommended for under 3s I think, but I will have a 3 1/2 year old and a baby (will probably have baby in sling). Smudgie will have a teenager in tow.

Well, if the Smudgelet won't mind elder niminy being adoring (he loves teenagers) I think we may be in! Will cross fingers there are still tickets left when I get paid later this week.

I reckon that if I'd waited to afford things before doing them I'd have missed an awful lot in life!

Have fun on the DUKW - we did a tour of Singapore like that and it was magic!

Yay!

WW - We did a Singapore tour but it was just the airport freebe one. I remember seeing a duck tour when I was either in Vancouver or Seattle (I know, I know I really should know the difference) and now I'm thinking I want to see how many duck tours I can get on...

ken, Tree Bee, fabula rasa, Tractor Girl + offspring, me, ** Leon ***? Yangtze, Marvin? Smudgie, Emma, Auntie Doris - that's 12 if I've got them all right - was rosamundi there? And those poor three people who weren't part of the Ship, who didn't quite know what hit them. Somewhere there are photos - but they're not on Auntie Doris' or Marvin's or ken's or rosamundi's Flickr streams that I can find. And I'm not guilty of that one.

The link needs editing. It goes http://http//www.flickr... etc or somethng like that. It's mucked up at the front end.

I'm keen. Just hesitant because of doing a touristy thing during the actual games. I can get there easily on foot but I would be concerned that more distant folk will struggle.

My little bruv [Big Grin] Real Life moved on for him I think! He's still living in Brum, now married and working with teenagers [Smile]

Spike and I would love to come to this Duck Meet - we were too late to get tickets for the last one but joined y'all for lunch afterwards - however we're hopefully moving house that weekend so it may be tricksy. We'll work on it ...

I was also struck by how little Smudgelet looked in those photos - a lot littler than the fair-sized guy I met back in May - but he's still a charmer.

Goodness, was he ever really that small and adorable?

Yes, he copes very well with being adored by small people - well, well for a teenager... though he does end up exhausted by the sheer effort of being nice! After a couple of hours being adored by Teacup, he generally declares his intention never to be a dad!

I love my Smudgelet [Big Grin]

Gill - you obviously should just take a slightly longer lunch hour... [Big Grin]

Tina - I think you need to do something "fun" before The Big Move to help with the stress levels.. or something...

[Smile] I'm so looking forwards to this!

When I booked I asked how many tickets were left - could the next person to book ask too? Thanks [Smile]

So - people definitely coming ...

Emma-louise, aj and 2 small people.
Smudgie and not so small person.
Niminypiminy and 2 small people.
Pants and Alien
CK (12 so far!)

Possibly

Deputy verger
Spike and Tina

and if boss could just turn a blind eye to a long lunch break..... Gill H.

I do suggest we all bring a rubber duck each. If anyone needs spares let me know... we have plenty.

We will be having a picnic beforehand on the South Bank, if it isn't tipping it down, do join us if you would like to.

Well I'd love to come, but I'm volunteering on the South Bank as a 'London Ambassador' for the Olympics at the time. Look out for a small person in a vivid purple and pink polo shirt,a nd I'll look out for people clutching rubber ducks.
