Viro-Noris is a bit unkind, how about the Jitter Bug, it could be themed on the 1920's perhaps !!

The verb declines as follows:

I unfortunately catch the virus off mucky beggars on the ship
You are a mucky beggar and don't wash your hands
S/he has ruined my cruise
We demand compensation from the cruise line
They say it's not their fault, but here's $50 off your next cruise.

Ah, thanks for that Bosscat. Now I realise why this wasn't in our textbook. It's a modern verb.

Back to renaming

QM2 is commonly referred to as "The Block of Flats" and that was started by Nick Girdler of Radio Solent fame.

But as a celebration of another remarkably good Friday for Northern Ireland/Ulster wouldn't it be great to have a cruise ship called "The Stormont Castle" or is that still a bridge too far? .....Neil

Perhaps the next RCI ship might be named 'Impossibly Large of the Seas'? Its sister ship might be 'Ludicrously Large of the Seas'.

That's not a bad name that, 'The Stormont Castle' sounds good, although I think better suited to a 1960's Pacific class steam train, but I do agree it's got a good ring to it.
