Chief Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 HiI am on the 20:30hrs overnight crossing if anyone from here is also onboard and fancies a pint and a crack. Returning on the 22:00hrs crossing on the 03/03/2007.cheersChief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 forgive me, chief, what is a crack? it's not an expression i have come across. pardon my sheltered upbringing.i MAY well be on board; but sadly, that depends on whether edf will have given us a date for connecting us up to the grid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastines Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 On the same route but not the same time----- If anyone is booking family trips end July early August, I suggest you get your booking in quick. Nearly every permutation I tried to bring at the weekend to book my daughter/granddaughters holidays were FULLY BOOKED on B.F. in the end I had to book on Condor.Poole to St.Malo. I hope they'll forgive me.Regards. 5 mins St Malo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 thanks, russethouse. it's not anything illegal, immoral or fattening, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Only in so far as it is usually accompanied by a few jars which could lead to all of them [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Stop teasing us! What is it please? Would my students understand the term? Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Alistair - Click on the link ! Are your students French or British ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I did that before, but was still unsure of which version to take. Surely it isn't coccain - but it might be the Irish slang for fun? I was aware of most of the other meanings. My students are mostly British with some from Far Eastern countries, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and small, exotic distant lands. There is one who is fluent in French. Would he help with my understanding of "crack" in this context? Thanks, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've always taken it as ' the Irish slang for fun' [:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The word for the Irish, is craic but the people I know have alway simply called having a bit of fun, as having a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Katie Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I thought everyone knew what "the craic" was. It is frightening that you have really got to be careful what you say to people these days havent you?Anyone fancy a St Patricks day craic with me on P&O Dover to Calais? Yep, it will have to be a quick one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Not that day - I'll be hung over, (with a bit of luck) just escaped being called Patricia![:)]Isn't that an awfully long drive for you JK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We are used to the long drives Gay. My family in London have this strange idea that the world ends beyond the boundaries of M25[:D].We will leave at 6am which will give us plenty of time for the 12.00 crossing. Well it is about 12 but I cannot remember now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
