ekco

Lol, you two are the biggest countdown clock culprits!! I've got no skin left on my fingers scrolling down.:eek:

I quite like cruise and stay. It's nice to chill out after a week at sea as we never keep still, exploring new places from the ship.

Jan

Hi Jan, don't know what's wrong with Aligarter's countdown clocks. Mine have always been wiped off automatically once we've sailed.

 

You keeping OK? Only 5 weeks today till we're on Majesty :D:D

Berwyn

Hi Berwyn. Not recovered yet, we've had the grandchildren for 2 days. Aargh!! Shattered!

I have to go in and delete my countdown clocks. Lucky you going on Majesty, I've got a bit to wait yet. I'm sooo jealous.:):)

Jan

cut out the liquid shampoo and conditioners by using lush solid block ones make clothes smell nice as well.

Funny that, I was just passing Lush this afternoon. Perhaps you could explain what this product is and how to use it. Thanks.

Would you be so kind as to cut down some of your countdown clocks. There is so much scrolling to do when there are a lot of them. They soon add up to half a page. My scrolling pad is getting worn out, lol. Thanks again.:):)

Jan

Best to be careful I think. We take the cards on lands trips as a backup just in case but changed some pounds into euros the other week when the rate improved. Not that we've got anything booked at the moment as we've got a trips to London for the Paralympics in a couple of weeks. They sent us free travel cards for each of the days we are attending which should come in very handy.:):)

Jan

Lol, Kruzseeka do you think that 27,450 of them are you and me?:D:D

I saw that item this morning. We were given a Halifax debit card on a savings account which was a bit odd in the first place and we definitely won't be using it abroad after watching that.:eek:

Jan

Good heavens, I've just noticed we've got over 27,500 views on this thread.:eek:

Jan

You're right - emma royd!!! Found the thread but of course all those offensive posts have been removed but there is reference to the poster from us in our posts - and with a robust defense of Berwyn and our forum!! :D;)

Can't you sleep Kruzseeka, lol? I realized later that I'd put the wrong spelling. I'll give him one thing though, that was a clever name.:D

Jan

I forget what started it off the last time Kruzseeka but I was thinking the other day that the troll hadn't been on for a while. I think that his membership was cancelled and he kept re-registering under other names. Oh! it's driving me mad trying to remember the female nom-de-plume, it was a play on words. I know! it was Emma Roid, lol. I think it was you that spotted it.:D:D

Jan

The troll used to pop up every 3 months or so under different names and was deleted by the mods. Then he changed tack and pretended to be a woman but just as nasty, he gave himself away by using the same turn of phrase. I forget the name, Kruzseeka might remember, and I haven't noticed him on for a few months but perhaps he's on another forum. Nasty piece of work.:eek:

Jan

Hi Jan

This has to be the best thread ever on here, well done starting it :) I've had some laughs on here :D

Lol, and they said it would never last.:D It still makes me laugh thinking about false teeth flying past my window. I hope it never happens.:eek:

I miss Berwyn, remember the troll who came on and saw his photo's then had the cheek to say that

he and his wife always looked miserable. How rude.

Jan

Hi Janflan. Berwyn has gone awol again as he does from time to time but I'm sure that he'll catch up when he's back on. What an awful thought thinking about someone washing their glass eye.:eek:

I'm amazed that this thread that I started is still going strong after all this time but all the hints and tips are still valid and more are always welcome.:):)

Jan

Haha Ekco, nothing like Onslow - he does wear a shirt over his vest I'm glad to say :D he's talking of getting a white tux as we're never going back to ordinary holidays now we've discovered cruising and I've seen a no fly Caribbean next year we might go on if the price drops a bit :)

Hopefully not white trousers to match.:eek: lol.

Jan

Thanks for the link grannypops. I've just watched it again, oh! how I laughed on this grey day.:)

Tell me, does your OH look like Onslow? Is that spelt right?

Jan

The old ones are still the best girls :rolleyes:

 

Stevie

And you should know more than most.:D:D;)

Jan

lol just thinking of Hyacinth Bucket on Keeping Up Appearances when they went on the cruise :eek:

OMG! I remember that episode, it was repeated last year. So funny! I'll think of you next time it's on.:D:D

Jan

Lol, please don't tell me you've got a sailor suit and a captains hat.:eek:;)

Jan

Once, and only once, did a suitcase not turn up on holiday and it had all my clothes in it. 3 days I wore a t-shirt and cotton skirt which was not a good look on the beach. Ever since our clothing has been split down the middle and put into 2 cases, just in case.:D

Jan

Hi grannypops. You are not alone, we picked up the wrong large case from the quayside in Palma last year and brought it all the way back to Manchester before we realized we had 2 large and not 1 large and 1 medium. We had an unusual pattern and just didn't double check (or should I say my husband didn't double check, lol). Luckily we didn't get charged overweight as the case was 27kg at weigh in. The penny didn't drop then even though we had made sure we were well under on the trip out. All was sorted out by the nice airport people and we got ours back a couple of days later.:D

Jan

Bumping this thread up again.:):)

Hi Jan:D:D

Hi stranger, lol. Lovely day today.:)

Jan

Bumping up this thread for jan1234

Thanks for that Berwyn. Lol, I meant the eggs you had ready to throw at our car.:D:D

Jan

Lovely, the only thing you'll miss is the rocking up and down from the waves

 

Berwyn

It's the same chain of resorts that we cruise and stayed in Turkey last year. Mix of nationalities and everything included with no wristbands or drunks. Tried the archery, mountainbiking and Tai Chi in Sharm but probably a bit hilly in Fuerta for cycling. I don't do hills, lol, gears are a mystery to me.:eek:

That Zoo site looks good and thanks to grannypops for that. I'll have a good look later on.

Sun still out. What is the Victorian Extravanganza? I think I'll go and park outside your house, lol.:D Put the eggs away Berwyn.:D

Jan

Well, that was nice. The sun came out nice and hot so I've been in the garden all afternoon while you two have been chatting. Saves getting a tan on holiday, only 41 days to go to Fuerteventura. Ta Dah!!:D:D Couldn't get a cruise to suit on the days we have off so it's a 5* AI.

Jan

We live about 10 minutes drive away from Manchester Airport on a nice road just near a hotel that serves the airport with a shuttle bus for guests who stay and park there. This doesn't stop people parking outside our houses in the night then beggering off in a taxi to the aiport and leaving their car here for a week. We had one a couple of weeks ago just opposite and we were all on full alert to catch them when they came back but as usual they sneaked back in the night. Posh car too and obviously someone who could well afford to pay, I bet they wouldn't have left it in Moss Side for a week!! They should think themselves lucky we didn't have it towed away!! Would these people like it if we parked outside their house for a week and disappeared, absolutely not!

So my hint and tip is, unless you really want to rub the local residents up the wrong way don't do that.

Sorry to sound grumpy but when you have to put up with this it's no joke.

I could go on, lol. There's more, so much more.:eek::eek:
