It seems LG just entered the rock bands world! 8-)

Marius Halsor ★

If you’d like to meet me to chat or maybe play some games in Oslo on May 11th, send me a message, kpato, and we’ll see if we can make it happen! :-)

2012-04-27
Hjallti

I guess you want to replace Zeebrugge for Brugge. (Zeebrugge is the harbour of Brugge), and Brugge is one of nicest medieval cities in Europe.

2012-04-27
Tim Shih
And if the meeting between Kpato and Marius does take place, please take some photos and post them on LG for us to see, as Klaashaas and ypercube did several years ago. :)
2012-04-28
kpato

lets do it Marius, let me check my schedule, i will send u a message with the hours.
Thanks for the tip Hjallti

If someone want to share a cool place to go and visit, please fell free to tell me.

Today I’m in Italy, i came to Pisa and i just saw the tower.

2012-04-28
Hjallti

If you are in Flamm, take the “Norway in a nutshell” tour... I liked it very much. It seems you do the tour twice. I don’t understand... you travel twice on everything

2012-05-02
FatPhil

Wowsers, that sounds draining. Helsinki (where I work 1 day a week) and Tallinn (where I work 4 days a week) are both places I can, and would be my pleasure to, show you the sights.

2012-05-02
kpato

tellme 1 day and i will tell you my hours availables :)

2012-05-03
FatPhil

Assuming I’ve tracked your boat down to the right one, your free/onshore hours are on Cunard’s website. Nothing between 8am to 5pm is particularly compatible with either my sleeping habits or my day job, but I’ll do my best!

So – are you the jazz band?

2012-05-03
kpato

there is no such thing like a Jazz band.

Im in one of the orchestras of the ship, but yeah, sometimes we play jazz :)

and the hours onshore, doesn’t mean that i do not have dutys on board at that moment.
but usually i don’t have , hehe

“Just in cases”, so that kpato doesn’t miss it: here

2012-05-16
FatPhil

May 15 Helsinki
May 16 St Petersburg
May 17 St Petersburg
May 18 Tallinn

Kpato – I might be in Helsinki tomorrow (14th), and can possibly stay overnight, and therefore can perhaps meet you in Helsinki on Tuesday. I can’t make any promises, alas, as it depends if I get a call tomorrow morning. (In which case, I’ll be darting off onto the next possible boat, and won’t have time to write a message here.)

Some time early on the 18th is still booked for you in Tallinn.

Do you have a pay-as-you-go mobile phone, so that you can receive SMS’s in real time (and if necessary send them)?

2012-05-16
kpato

i dont celphone.

Helsinki I’m available since 9.30
I’m still good for tallinn , tell me what u do think tomorrow.

I can ask for a bike here in the ship, so if u say a location i might reach that place (near the port)

2012-05-17
FatPhil

Don’t miss the tour of Suomenlinna that Cunard lay on (even if some of the stuff they tell you will be false!). To be honest, I’m not so good with touristy stuff in Helsinki, as I only lived there!

2012-05-17
kpato

i don’t care too much the tourism. Just a cup of chocolate and game would be fine.
I don’t take any Cunard tours.

So??? Helsinki? or Tallin?
answer as soon as possible.
if Helsinki, tell me a place and an hour, I’m gonna be there in bike and wearing a grey hoodie

2012-05-17
FatPhil

I didn’t get the call this morning, so didn’t go over.

Tallinn is definitely on though. I live really close to the Harbour. (But I don’t know exactly how to get to your harbour, I’ve never been on any of the fancy international cruise ships, scumbag that I am).

2012-05-18
Wakai Yushi

I drink for that!!

2012-05-18
Ricardo (Santos) ★

I hope you make it!! :)

2012-05-18
FatPhil

Well, I got the call, so I shall be emerging from a Lindaline boat at Makasiiniterminaali, which should be very close to where you’re berthed in the South Harbour, at about 11:30 today.

Look for someone in a black hoodie, faded blue jeans, and carrying a heavy laptop case. Long-haired, scruffy-looking, and unshaven. I’ll hang around for a short while, but will be expected at work before after lunch.

2012-05-18
kpato

im in Helsinki.
a main street. In a place called CafeJava on a corner of the street.

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=60.169828,24.937154&hl=en&ll=60.16929,24.936025&spn=0.007365,0.019033&sll=60.169828,24.937154&sspn=0.007365,0.019033&doflg=ptk&mra=ls&glp=1&t=m&z=16

i dont trust to much in this , but here is my location.
if there is not enough time, tallinn is the day.
Im in day off, but a need to be back at 5.00

2012-05-18
FatPhil

getting off the boat now. can be there in 15 minutes

2012-05-18
kpato

we should look for another place maybe, I’m a little hungry

2012-05-18

Incredible!!! What game did you play?

2012-05-19
FatPhil

kpato thrashed me at Four in a Row, but I had the upper hand in Dots and Boxes.

It’s a small world after all.

2012-05-20
MRFvR

kpato is quite strong in 4iR

2012-05-16
FatPhil

i don’t think I can train myself up enough in 4iR in 2 days to be able to dominate in the (first) Tallinn leg.

And by 2 days, I clearly mean 172800 seconds ago! ;)

2012-05-18
ypercube

haha

2012-05-18
ypercube

yeah

2012-05-18
kpato

I’m here, beside a big church in a hill :/

2012-05-18
FatPhil

That must be the Orthodox church on Toompea? There are some viewing platforms that look out over the old town. As I mentioned before, we live very close to the tallest spire, St. Olaf’s. We’re up for coming out to lunch.

2012-05-18
kpato

thats alright, i can stay in tall in until 3.30pm
i was in the Olaf Church a few minutes ago.

Im carrying my EWN board,
i u want tu met me, give me some instructions

:) bye

2012-05-18
kpato

after lunch, of course hehe i don’t want to bother you

2012-05-18
FatPhil

Cafe recommendation if you want to be lazy – Kehrwieder on the central town hall square.

For food, it would be good if we could eat in the authentic medieval restaurant “Olde Hansa”, just off the town square. (All the other “medieval” restaurants are fake – they all have dishes that include potatoes, a foodstuff that simply didn’t exist at the time in this area.) I can take a break from work at about 11:30.

2012-05-18
kpato

give me instructions, i don’t have any idea of where is the NORTH!!!
send me a map or something like that.

2012-05-18
FatPhil

At 1pm, the sun’s due south!

2012-05-18
kpato

is that a joke?
why 1pm ? i thought u wanted at 11.30

2012-05-18
FatPhil

It’s not a joke – it’s a law of physics!

I’ll see you at 11:30 at the town hall square (Raekoja Plats), next to the town hall building itself (Raekoda) http://www.tallinn.ee/raekoda

2012-05-18
kpato

town hall square,
I’m going right now, i hope find it!

im starving

2012-05-18
FatPhil

yay – victorious at EinStein!

realtime EWN: I would love to try it sometime! 8-)

2012-05-18
Ricardo (Santos) ★

Did you meet in Olde Hansa? It seems to be a really nice place :)

2012-05-18
FatPhil

Yup, we had lunch and a 5-point game!

2012-05-19
Hjallti

Realtime EWN I have played with my pupils (4th grade) and they will recieve a question about it on the test next week...

2012-05-22

The flemish radio 1 had a report of 2 british cruis ships in Zeebrugge yesterday heading to Southampton... must have one of them with kpato on...

2012-05-24
kpato

yeah, the Queen Victoria and the Queen Mary 2.
im in the Victoria :)

July 9 Tallinn

I am unable to take a day off work to meet you...

... 'cos I’ve lost my job, so work doesn’t exist! Which of course means that if I’m in the country I will have the whole day free.

(And no, this is not a cry for sympathy, I’m neutral to the whole thing (I’m just a prostitute there, I don’t get emotionally attached) and this has been on the cards ever since we got the Microsoft Trojan Horse as our CEO, I’m amazed our division lasted as long as it did.)

Yeah Fatphil, if I’m getting off that day we should play other games.

2012-07-02
Marius Halsor ★

Aww, sorry, kpato. I’m busy tomorrow, taking the kids to Tivoli. I can’t make it, I’m afraid.

2012-07-02
kpato

that’s alright, I realized that I’m in bankrupt and also, I’m kind of sick so I’m coming back to the ship soon.

cheers

2012-07-09
kpato

Fatphil!, im in tallinn.

But i will be back in the ship soon, i just got off to do some internet.

(which i haven’t with me yet.)

bye

2012-07-09
FatPhil

wah! I was looking at other things this morning, and have only just looked at LG (not strictly true, I was looking at a RoRoRo crash :-( )

At least we did meet once in each location! Enjoy the rest of your tour.

2012-09-09
ypercube

Kpato, have you returned home? How was the experience?

2012-09-09
kpato

Awesome!!!!

All the places were incredible!!! very very pretty!!!
and the professional experience in this last company was challenging!

I won an EWN board game!, i met a lot of new places, play a lot of music with excellent musicians
also i played in reallife with Fatphil.

Now I’m relaxing at home again. Im not thinking in comeback to the ships soon.
