  1. Agreed, he certainly would. Now Charles is making a cringeworthy speech. Dreadful.
  2. You are missing nothing by not watching the concert on TV. Even Robbie couldn’t be as bad as this. Lots of has beens, virtue signalling, fawning and never have beens with a few exceptions………………… (fill in your own). Elton John has had the best idea, sending in a video rather than turning up in person (although I believe he may not be very well).
  3. A lot can happen within a year so it seems prudent for P&O to leave it nearer to departure date. People already complain if excursions are cancelled or changed (understandably). Whatever they do, it seems as though they are not going to please everybody.
  4. I guess it depends on whether or not the driver is confident at reverse parking 🥴
  5. Do you know whether they do factory tours?
  6. Lovely sunset in Wales last night followed by bouts of heavy rain which seemed to start just as I had managed to drop off to sleep again. I don’t know why the pictures are upside down. Sorry, but you get the idea. Mind you, upside down, they look quite artistic and if painted could sell for millions, especially as they are not separated from each other.
  7. Had they played the first half like they played the second it could have been different. I don’t think Forest will stay long in the PL without considerable investment. As a Stoke City season ticket holder, I wouldn’t mind Sorba Thomas swapping his blue and white for red and white. He certainly impressed me when they visited the Bet 365 Staduim.
  8. My initial guess about the ‘second painting’ was that it was going to be an electricity / gas bill or a petrol station. Both probably more painful than a Lego brick. 😱😱
  9. Hopefully we will be creating a little more noise on the A55 tomorrow.
  10. Shuttle buses are free on P&O as a benefit for those who pay the ‘select’ fare rather than either of the cheaper ‘saver’ fares. In many ports, they are not necessary.
  11. I thought I would leave it to somebody else. Had I known it would be you………! 😊 Being truthful, I didn’t notice ☹️
  12. It may be me being thick but I am not sure I understand🤔
  13. Different and better. Maybe introducing charges for individual dishes has contributed to this.
  14. But the limited capacity of Limelight means fewer people would get to see him. Personally, I think that spending £10 for the chance of a ticket gives a high probability that they will be successful. I would be interested to find out after the event how many people had no interest in paying to see him. Don’t forget, apart from new bookings, nobody booked the cruise expecting Gary Barlow to be performing so the demand may not be so great.
  15. It all looks very nice and very different from when Atol Kochar was ‘in charge’ of Sindhu.
  16. The reason we purchased new (for only the second time ever). The deal we were offered (£1500 discount and 5 years free servicing) made it at least comparable to a similar 12 month old car.
  17. It is a Honda but don’t get too hopeful. The one I am getting is the only one that was on the books in UK when I ordered it and happened to be the colour I wanted. Otherwise, the wait would be months rather than weeks.
  18. I agree. The coach ride up an down is scenic but not for the faint hearted but on a clear day the views are spectacular. There may even be some snow on the top of the mountain, even in summer.
  19. Geiranger is beautiful but there is not a lot to do there. The little church up the hill is nice, the walk alongside the waterfall is worth doing if you can cope with the uphill / downhill walking and there is the fjord centre further up the hill. The gift shop sells the same sort of tourist items as elsewhere in Norway and there is a place to buy coffee. I guess that private tours may be few and far between because they are likely to be used by any other ships or relocate to Hellesylt for Iona. If you like sitting outdoors in a beautiful, peaceful place, Geiranger is an ideal place to be, if you want activity, you may be disappointed. I have not stopped in Hellesylt, but having sailed past it, it seems to be little different from Geiranger.
