Didn't that same rubber ducky grace Sydney's harbor not too long ago where it experienced some problems?

Is anyone sure that that it isn't Chris himself being pulled by the tug?
He has been quite quiet recently...

I thought is was very nice of someone, to actually give Chris his own ducky!
He probably hasn't posted here for a while because he is too busy trying to get it in his bath tub. :laugh:

Chris will have to wait a bit - the rubber ducky won't reach Toronto until July the 1st...

Yes, but it sounds like a foghorn. :bananas:

I emailed Chris yesterday to see why he might be absent from The Lounge. I had lunch with Chris a couple of weeks ago and he was experiencing some "walking-issues". Yesterday he informed me that the issue still prevails and he hopes to be back in about a week.

His closing remark was "My regards to all at Eileen's Lounge."
Regards,
Bob

It's that old fashioned thing that still resides in some Bath Rooms.

I actually meant practicing getting it in your Bath Tub but I'll leave it to your imagination to do whatever! :innocent: :grin:
