My redundant stickers are stuck onto the outside of my kindle case along with Covid injection ones. Don’t ask me why but it seemed a good idea at the time.

Thanks for your comprehensive wish list. Looks like she may need to be even bigger than planned. If Princess of Wales is her godmother, at least we won’t be short of photographs.

Sorry to hear that you are selling your house and moving in these circumstances. Hopefully you will find somewhere nice, close to your family and friends.

I suspect that the ownership, financing and business dealings of most top clubs would not stand up to scrutiny. Lower down the leagues, financial fair play rules seem to have a big effect on limiting clubs’ spending but those in the Premier League and other top leagues throughout the world (where there are rules) appear to be toothless.

My commiserations Jane. Regardless of my feelings about your club, they have had a fantastic season, in the end losing out to an outstanding team.

Looks like they will be playing the Vale next season I’m afraid.

He signed a 3 year contract yesterday. I prefer him in goal for us rather than for any opponent because whenever I have seen him play, he has looked a class above any goalkeeper we have had for a few years. As for the 600 pints of beer he bought for supporters, I am sure there will be a lot of takers in the Potteries.

My apologies before you read this Beckett, but as a Stoke City fan, I am a founder member of the ATBA club - Any team but Arsenal.

Not dis-similar to where we are at the moment, apart from the hotel building and pool (there is snooker in the bar though).

One reason we book suites is because the third person goes free, so son or brother in law comes with us. Per head it is not far off the price of two in a balcony cabin but with the, admittedly limited, advantages a suite provides. Maybe it is just outside school holidays (not good for families with school aged children) and obviously just in cabins that can take a third (or fourth) person.

A glorious day here sitting looking over the Irish Sea. Quite cold in the shade but lack of a breeze makes it pleasant in the sun. The only drawback is that I needed to pop to Tesco to buy a pair of shorts having left all mine at home. Typical.

And an excellent 4-0 win for Stoke City, the mighty potters.

Not quite what I first imagined it to be like. Seems to be the design of somebody who had the ‘mega mega drinks and other intoxicants package’ for a whole world cruise.

If it is adult only, it won’t be necessary but perhaps a small arcade can be squeezed in for grown ups to use without the need for the excuse of taking kids in there. By the way, you now have a yellow card for breaking the rules and introducing stuff from a non- P&O cruise line.

There is a thread ‘Is travel insurance a requirement’ that may help. Host Sharon included a link in the final post (at the moment) that you may find useful. You should be able to find it easily. It is currently on page 2 of the P&O listings.

Mrs Pete has just requested the ship’s bell from Arcadia.

Are you referring to the beautiful Lalique statue in Aurora’s atrium? I don’t remember glass artwork on Arcadia but I may have missed or forgotten it.

Seems to be shaping up quite nicely. Any possible names for her?

We already have aft pool on Aurora but prom deck has already been chosen (Arcadia) although some may say there is room for two prom decks.

So: 1 Glasshouse on Ventura 2 Aft cabins on Arcadia 3 Seascreen on Azura 4 Cinema on Iona 5 Aft Pool on Aurora 6 Promenade deck on Arcadia Please ‘quote and add’

On another thread, an esteemed poster expressed the opinion that Ventura has the best glasshouse in the fleet. This set me thinking what our perfect P&O ship would be like. Adding to the glasshouse on Ventura, I would say the aft cabins on Arcadia. If you would like to help us to design the best P&O ship, just quote the previous post and add your suggestion to the bottom of the list. This should collate the list for us all in one place. No arguing please and nothing that is not P&O. 1 Glasshouse on Ventura 2 Aft cabins on Arcadia 3

Just got back from our home from home wine merchants having stocked up. Maybe not as cheap as Tesco but always nice and good value.
