lighting the blue touch paper
« on: February 03, 2010, 08:50:02 AM »
it occured to me while helping translate the new 2010 calis carnaval parade entry form.
having read last year all the criticism of the canival parade and the huge verbal mexican wave of criticism of the critics
actions speak louder than words
why not se some of that energy.
get out your arm chairs and get a cbf float together for the carnival

you never know it could be fun!!

Stuart, is the "huge verbal mexican wave of criticism from the critics" you speak of the negative posts of Captainjon and Chris Tippet?

I didn't know you could make a Mexican wave from just two people [:o]

it's a non-starter. As far as I know Chris Tippett has returned to the UK, having been shocked that there were so many bloody foreigners in Turkey, and Captainjon has already confirmed he came to Turkey to retire and has no intention of helping, whilst neatly reserving the right to criticise everyone else's efforts.

Great idea! What about a Lance Treasure Hunt too? He has to park his car somewhere in the morning, and the first Lance to find it wins.
