No photo's from DW on her FB in case our son sees them. Too embarasing for him.......second thoughts, he embarassed us often enough. Dad, what's Bluebeat.?🤔 With Parkdean resorts when you book the ferry thru their website you get a massive discount.Don't know if Warners are the same.

I suppose the latter is no good Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look next time we there, although we will wait until the summer crowds have dispersed before going again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted August 19, 2022 #37256 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I cannot cook and Pauline is not keen on cooking so we decided to go to our local beefeater in Durham for their lunch time special. Pauline had fish and chips and I had a steak sandwich. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half price. We may try parkdean next year. They have one in West bay and one in Devon that me and some friends went to when we were in our teens. 2nd thoughts, perhaps best to avoid that one.🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your daughters a star saving the day .😍 Like you I'm not much of a fan of voicemail due to my Nan inventing voicemail when I was just a teenager . When my parents were out and I was having a lie in ,she would shout through our letter box until I answered her voice .😑 I also love how people always leave voicemails when I miss their calls. It's like they want to be ignored twice by me .😉 Keep smiling and you will be better before you know it 😊 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap99 Posted August 19, 2022 #37267 Share Posted August 19, 2022 5 hours ago, Dermotsgirl said: Family history is one of my interests, and it’s amazing you can dig up. My great grandfather was a Relieving Officer at Mile End Workhouse, and he left comments on paperwork relating to the committal of one of the paupers to Colney Hatch Asylum. That person who was sent to the asylum was Aaron Kominski, one of the suspects in the Jack the Ripper case. Regarding the posting of food photos. As long as people keep to the forum rules, they can post what they like, and I don’t think it is up to forum members to tell others what is acceptable to post. As always, if something is not of interest, you can just scroll on by. Isn't it a funny old world. It seems our great grandfather's were acquainted.🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted August 19, 2022 #37268 Share Posted August 19, 2022 All I can say on the photos subject is it’s a bit ironic to post on a cruise forum about flaunting wealth!! At the moment I can afford a meal but not a cruise! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted August 19, 2022 #37269 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) A visit today to Redhouse Glass Cone & Glass Museum in Wordsley, Stourbridge, the glass cone is one of a very few surviving examples. Stourbridge became the centre of glass making in the 19th C with glass makers coming here from Germany, what is now Czech Republic, Eastern France and other parts of Europe. A pleasant afternoon out and some Christmas shopping done as well (sorry I mentioned the C word) Got home to find an email to say our Netflix account has been hacked, Netflix helped me sort it out very quickly, excellent service. Was hacked allegedly from Columbia, at common location for hackers apparently. Password change and account now secure, appears password had been leaked on internet as found out via Have I been Pwned website, so now change any sites that use that password, only a few thank goodness. https://haveibeenpwned.com Edited August 19, 2022 by Snow Hill 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted August 19, 2022 #37271 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Just back from a week on the lovely little Bolette. We went to the Fjords. It was so relaxing.. no hype, no upselling, just relaxation, in fact at times you could walk half the length and see no-one. A few kids on board, who were a credit to their parents, they joined in and were fun. One thing that struck us was that the Captain and his Senior Officers were out and about constantly and were very approachable. Luckily I investigated the weather beforehand. I was surprised it was so warm. We were very glad we took layers. Most of the time it was just tee shirt tops. Embarkation was about 30m and we were off before 8 this morning. We are quite chilled out at the moment! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Graham, that looks nice, I know the layout of Durham reasonably well as I lodged there for several months when I worked at Bearpark pit, however that was many moons ago and I am sure there are many changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted August 20, 2022 #37275 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Personally I love everyone’s photos on here whether it’s gardens, sunrises , hotels, dinners, celebrating a special occasion, a new car , booking a new cruise, I’m celebrating my life !! As on numerous occasions me and my husband have had several near misses, ie , being rescued in Yellowstone national park fire in 1988, caught in the great San Francisco earthquake 1989, being late for our ferry the Zeebrugge ferry disaster 1987 ( god rest all the 193 that died then ) we being a family of 4 with 2 small children under age 3 , to saying goodbye to my husband in 1990 for the gulf war not knowing if I would ever see him again and numerous occasions after that , I certainly know what’s going on in this world at the moment and feel for everyone going through hard times as we are too, so we are living for everyday while we can enjoy your life as much as you can everyday is precious, so I love to read when others are able to share what ever they can do even if it just going to the beach and having a McFlurry, favourite pizza restaurant, etc , this is a everyday thread and we should be able to post what we’re up to if we want.Rant over I hope I’ve not offended anyone but I’ve kept quiet for a number of years now and I think we’ve all gone through some tough times and still going through them . 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
