Hilarity100

Our Townace passed its first Hilarity100 challenge when it successfully drove from London to Newcastle without any parts falling off. Simon and I did have to make several calls to Mot and Ness, who were waiting to be picked up in Newcastle, to put back our time of arrival an hour at a time; but the Townie's all about class, not speed.

Then while we were waiting in the Townie to drive a board the Fjordline ferry we noticed something odd about the side of the the ship. It you look closely you can still see the outline of the previous name of the vessel. If you looked even closer again, because you have an hour an half wait to board the ferry, then you could resolve that outline as the letters "Spirit of Tasmania".

Yes indeed, the good old Spirit of Tasmania that had once faithfully ferried people - including thirteen year old Mot - between Melbourne to Devonport is now zipping backwards and forwards between Newcastle and the fjords of Norway. And with that realisation we had Day One's official moment of hilarity. Only ninety-nine equally hilarious moments to go.

I've heard that my ex- colleagues have started a sweepstakes as to when the first day of non-hilarity will occur (feel free to add your own prediction). I'm not sure what the pot is up to, but I hear that Day 32 is the current favourite. What argument do you think it will take to turn our European fun into awkward driving silence?
