My Cruise Has Just Been Nixed!

[andy-hughes]

I was supposed to be on a week-long cruise from Southampton down to Lisbon and back, but the latest port shutdowns seem to have cowboshed that!

Happily it was a working trip for free, but I still feel peeved that I can't go, was looking forward to it!!

Nothing's plain sailing these days.

[andy-hughes]

Indeed!!

Lots of people's plans being disrupted aren't they?

My holiday to Cyprus might be cancelled as well. Was due to fly out 6th April.

Must admit "cowboshed" is a new one on me. Is that a regional thing?

[Jackdaw33]

The word is kiboshed.

Why worry about the virus - let's just destroy the economy instead.

[douglas9401]

Mr Hughes is known to be 'cowboyish', Jim, obviously the cruise being kyboshed has cross infected.

[andy-hughes]

Douglas - Can you explain what you mean by 'cowboyish'?

When I have read your explanation, I can decide whether I need to take offence or not!!!

(LOL!)

[douglas9401]

I picture you as an Aga man, at home with the range.

[andy-hughes]

Interesting - but seriously wide of the mark!!

[douglas9401]

My fault, I automatically assume a like-minded sense of humour.

Stony ground it is, pardner.

[brainiac]

I think it's because you wrote 'cowboshed' and not 'kiboshed' :)

I understood the reference, but it's at home ON the range!
