all time favourite post?
 

Mine was the one about how much to tip the pilot? I did a search for it but couldn't find it!

A funny one from today is where the person asked if there are laundromats in Spain. I almost gave her a smart answer then decided against it.

Tipping the pilot was my favorite. I printed out to give my husband some chuckes. I remember there was a really top 10 funny list.

oops,chuckles. Also another really funny one was "where to take my relative when he gets out of jail"

Elviras post- she gets too hungry. I've topped it.

long anticipated trip to Italy- I topped it!

most of the ones that make me laugh are deleted within a few hours. wish i could remember them.

oh yes "Nancy". My favourite post was about restaurant tipping. However I think it was on the US forum as a search revealed nothing here. It was about the wedding party who got persued out of the restaurant for not leaving a suitable tip.

Tipping the pilot and vickings and of course bring home the geese.<BR>

Art<BR>can you find the tipping the pilot post? Don't remember the one about the geese!

I liked the original Lucy Trip Report, but when I looked at it lately most of it was missing.

I've never read a post written by Elvira that I did not find entertaining.<BR><BR>Some of my other favorites were &quot;I Was Drunk The Day My Mother Got Out of Prison&quot;, &quot;Are the Vikings Really Bad?&quot;, and the &quot;gnu&quot; thread that was removed within about 48 hours of its debut last year.<BR><BR>Mina's threads I also find very entertaining---I hope wherever her travels take her, she continues to post here, because she's informative and witty.<BR><BR>Ciao,<BR>BC

On the US forum, I enjoyed Patrick's &quot;Nightmare at Tavern on the Green&quot;. It was a classic and so funny.

I see posts alluding to the &quot;Nightmare&quot; but I cant find it. Anyone save it? I loved it too.

Does anyone remember the post from Nacny (note the way she mispelled her name). I don't remember the topic of the post, but I remember laughing at it aloud! I remember there were several tongue-in-cheek responses.<BR><BR>It was not the Nancy-divorce post that has resurfaced.

I liked the original Monkey thread, but I think it was on the US side. I also think it has been deleted.<BR><BR>Someone should be in charge of copying all interesting/funny posts that are in danger of getting deleted and posting them some place else. It is a shame to lose some of these.

our mothers were right!

Some of the Rick Steves posts were entertaining.

Definitely tipping the pilot!

Any posts that ask what to wear in Paris are my favorites just to see what responses they get.

My favourite post was the one where everyone dished on the worst-dressed person they had spotted while on holiday. Two of us, believe it or not, spyed Imelda Marcos at Saks in a wrinkled track suit.

My favorite post or posts are those that answered a travel question that I asked.<BR><BR>We have joke books at home with much funnier stories than &quot;tipping the pilot&quot; and other silly things.

Well, I'd have to say the original Dr. Abate battle - but that was long ago obliterated. The &quot;Beth Anderson Lessons In Narcissism&quot; serial brought many a chuckle to me. God that was bad! And of course, the &quot;Nancy Melodramas For A Rainy Afternoon&quot; series had me rolling on the floor at times. Here is a link to the pilot for that series ---<BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessa...amp;tid=108056

can anyone find nightmare on tavern green? Yes I know its on the US forum but I have tried various keywords and can't find it. Must have been deleted.

another vote for the Italian saga. <BR>

Clara &amp; Herb -- after that the limerick thread that seems to have been deleted:(

All Time Favorite has to be:<BR>&quot;I Was Drunk The Day My Mother Got Out of Prison&quot;. I have shown it to many people to explain why I've become addicted to visiting fodors, and we have laughed at some of the posts til tears rolled down our cheeks. <BR><BR>Does anyone have a copy of &quot;Drunk&quot;? I tried to find it to no avail. <BR><BR>&quot;Tipping the Pilot&quot; is my #2 fave.<BR>

There was one about fat people with an argument made that one must pay for extra luggage so why not room.<BR><BR>I was laughing, having been on both sides.

Another vote for Lucy's original Trip Report! It was a well-written cliffhanger and I wish that I had printed it out. However, so many &quot;fake&quot; Lucy's added to it, the real Lucy will never post again (as in sequel).<BR><BR>Also, giggled over &quot;what do you to entertain yourself on overseas flights&quot;, i.e., &quot;kick the seat in front of me........&quot;

My favorite was the one on traveling light when Jim-I think- said that he saved all of his holie underwear to take to Europe, and pitched them in every country that he visited in Europe. Not only that, he did not have a favored nation-he treated all the same.

actually I rather enjoyed Beth Anderson's posts - she had a lot of verve, as well as nerve. imagine quitting a job to strike out on your own. I do miss Elvira the most though.

The Dr. Abate harangue has got to be one of the funniest ever. What a shame it's gone!

Another vote for Dr. Abate

Why were these two removed?<BR><BR>Author: oh ([email protected])<BR>Date: 01/24/2003, 06:05 pm<BR><BR>Message: Quit living in the past.

yes, strange- not exactly censor material.

Ah I see! Nancy has had posts removed.

i don't understand this post. you mean some of you actually read posts on here all the time? why?? a freind just told me of this website to ask a question concerning train times/schedules in scotland. after reviewing THIS post, i'm beginning to wonder if this isn't yet another forum some of you use as a chat room! shocking to say the least.

Susan<BR>Shocking??! Dear me! You have led a sheltered life. Also, ever heard of capital letters? Still, I'm not sure why I'm asking as you won't be wasting time reading this.

I don't think the question about laundromats in Spain is funny. I looked for almost 3 weeks and only found one (which was closed).

WOW! It seems most of you on here have way too much time on your hands. You seem to be using this website as a form of companionship/chat vs. what it is meant for...information regarding travel. I feel sorry for you!
