DashDaley

When I was flying a flight simulator under the Golden Gate Bridge as Dash Daley, little did I know that I would soon be going under the Bridge for real! This is a record of our voyage from San Francisco, right across the Pacific Ocean to Auckland New Zealand. When The Grand Princess was built she was the largest passenger ship in the world, bigger than The Titanic!

Stroll the cobbled streets, where the river meets (the Liffey meets) At the break of day when the old town greets (the city greets) Hear the kettle hum, in the morning rise Dublin stirs, under waking skies Wake up, wake up, wake up to a steamy cup [Verse 1] The grinding beans, a welcome break of dawn Through Irish streets, as the daylight yawns Rich aroma fills the chilly air A hint of Jameson, without a care Pour it, pour it, pour it, the morning brew [Verse 2] Met a barista down in Dublin’s heart Had to queue up, just to get a start The lassie there, her skills were bona fide She steamed the milk and then she caught my eye [Chorus] It's the coffee rocks, coffee rocks mornings Smiling, smiling, smiling, she's the jewel of the shop A crafty pour, her art in every drop On Grafton Street, under Ireland's sky Her coffee warms the soul, makes spirits high Stir it, stir it, stir it, a spoonful of delight With every sip, this dreary world's alight Fill it, fill it, fill it, cup's edge it nears The city wakes, shaking off last night's beers The rhythm of the block, in sync with each pour Dublin's pulse in a cup, who could ask for more? Drinks are on, drinks are on, drinks are on fire [Verse 3] From Temple Bar to the banks of the Liffey's flow The tunes spill out, as the morning grows Each coffee sip, like an Irish ballad shows The beat of drums from the cobblestone streets In every heart, Dublin's song repeats Sing it, sing it, sing it, let the guitars chime This city's symphony in caffeinated time

"If you are down and life is making you lonely, you can always go..." (see Petula Clark :)

This actually happened! Our crazy neighbours assaulted my Mum. Don't worry, she was sore for a couple of weeks, but she was OK. Still, not cool! Then THEY called the COPS on US! Clever trick I think. Commit a crime, then be the one to call the cops so that you look like the good guy! Anyway, the cops came and I had to explain our side of the story. While I was talking to them, our pet dove "Honey Puff" landed on my hand! On top of that, I actually caught it on film! Obviously, if a bird of peace lands on you, the cops are going to know that you're the good guy! Of course it went fine with the cops, no one was dragged off to jail or anything like that! So that's my legal advice, if the cops come calling, get a bird of peace to land on you, like Jesus when John the Baptist baptised him!

We fly under the Golden Gate Bridge, then we buzz the famous Fishermans Wharf Sign, then we fly under the Bay Bridge as well. In the cabin the passengers watch clips of Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Harvey from Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and also Rob Brydon on the British Airways Safety Video. Dash Daley almost crashes while singing "I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside". The flight simulator is X-Plane.

Dash Daley sings with himself. There's a spot in the video where Dash Daley makes a funny sort of squealing sound. He's actually trying to stop a 747 airplane from crashing, so do give him a break.

Which town is doing better?

Even birds of peace need their play time!
