I will start a story and set the scene with a'fortunately' comment. The next person continues the story but begins with 'unfortunately'. The next switches with 'fortunately' . I hope you are happy to join the talk. Here goes... Late last year I decided to load up the van and go to the beach for a short holiday. Fortunately, it was just before the school holidays and I had the choice of plenty of camping spots..... (Your turn, starting with Unfortunately.)

Beth54 · Guru

Unfortunately there wasn't a skerrick of shade! I always like to have shade nearby to sit under with a good book and a cool drink.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Fortunately I found a spot a little further down the beach where some palms waved their fronds over the van giving afternoon shade, so I settled there.

Unfortunately I didn't realise until later thatthis spot was under waterwhen the tide came in.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Fortunately, there was a lovely exotic man called Katoot, who walked out of my dreams, swooped me up in his arms and took me away to his palace....................

Beth54 · Guru

Unfortuately Katoot turned out to be all smiles and a slob, and his 'palace' turned out to be a tin shed....

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately it was airconditioned and the fridge was full, curtesy of his hired help.

kandagal · Guru

Unfortunately the hired hands had their hands out with an expression on their faces that said"where's my tip?"

Firefly · Guru

Unfortunately he did!

kandagal · Guru

Fortunately I had a tetanus shot recently

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately the water was still rising, and the caravan began to float. Katoot waved from under the palm tree, and sipped his sexy ****tail. Useless in a crisis.

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately, his sister, Katrina drove the tug boat to my aid and we floated down stream to calmer waters.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, as we eased gently into the shore, we were greeted by Katoot's mum, who accused me of being a gold digger. "you only want his Winnebago" she shrieked.

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately, Katoot's mum only had one leg and couldn't chase me fast enough as I grabbed the keys to Katoot's winnie, now mine, and headed for a freecamp by the sea.

the rocket · Guru

unfortunately, there were signs everywhere that said "no overnight camping"

spida · Guru

Fortunately they didnt say 'By order of the .... Shire' so I knew they were put there by the local Caravan Park owner and so ignored them and stayed anyway.

Firefly · Guru

Unfortunately, I was wrong and they booked me anyway, leaving me a little exasperated.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Fortunately, I'm a self funded retiree, I paid the fine, have plenty left over, and I moved on to the Great Ocean Road.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Unfortunately I spotted Katoot's Mum in the rear vision mirror, chasing me, and it looked like she has a shotgun. The Winnie couldnt go fast enough to get away....

Kiwi-as · Guru

Unfortunately he went over the side, so i done a uee and headed back and fished him out of the drink. He showed his appreciation by....

tcp99 · Senior Member

Fortunately by dropping dead and leaving me to continue my journey

aussietraveller · Guru

unfortunately the winnebago didn't make it I had forgotten to refuel as I was still dreaming of Katoot and the life we could have had together hitch hiking now seemed the only option.

Unfortunately, I've been lying here on the ground for over an hour, trying to wake up enough to get up.

The sun's already set, and its getting dark.

The terrible thumping in my head in getting worse.

Bugger Firefly and Dico, I think.

But it's getting louder ... and closer.

Thump. THump. THUMp. THUMP.

"Hey" says a voice like a she-devil and I open my eyes to see a woman built like a tank.

"You seen my man? Bald skinny fella? Might have a new hair do, found this price tag for a black nylon hair piece in the bin in town, next to the dentist's office".

Unfortunately, Firefly's van was parked up the rise, with a good view of the rest of the camp.

Dico lifted himself onto one elbow, took a good drag on his cigarette and sighed.

He sighed as he groped for his wig and his trousers, "I'll be off now."

With one swift and masterful move he lept from the Avan, positioning his hair as he fled over the hill and away from his rampaging, one-legged wife.

Fortunately, I'm a self funded retiree with a health super balance.
I bought a little pop top and a nice ute to drag it along!!
So, after the drama of the past few days, I swung by the bottle shop for a wee dram and headed off to find a quiet camp enjoy happy hour and watch the sun set.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Fortunately a young japanese couple just pulled into the camp and parked their whizz bang right up close to where I was lying in the grass.

They set up camp and began to cook their dinner

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Fortunately, she's just coming out with her new dentures, and she looks HOT!

They race by me, heading for her van...................picture it.............me sipping my wee dram, her in the lead dentures a chopping and Dico coming up behind with his new wig aflapping.

Well, thank god I'm not parked close to that van!

I settle back, pour another stiff drink, and put me feet up.
