Summergee Posted July 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I received the latest issue of The Cunarder yesterday. Has anyone else noticed that, inside the back cover, 31 January 2009 is the day, according to Cunard, when we usher in the New Year and the new decade?

Yes, but as with nightly dress code, onboard scheduling is at the discretion of the ship's management.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnatt Posted July 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Actually the new decade starts January 1, 2011 not 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed that, inside the back cover, 31 January 2009 is the day, according to Cunard, when we usher in the New Year and the new decade? You know, I just spent 10 minutes gazing at this post and thinking "Yes, so what's wrong with that?" Clearly, I'm getting as daft as Cunard. :eek: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lannp Posted July 31, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would rejoice just in the fact that I actually received a copy of the "Cunarder". Thanks to you I know if one doesn't arrive soon that I should be calling Cunard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted July 31, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2009 See how much we rely upon you to lead us to the light?:) Yeah, but just be aware that the Army once wrote of my leadership skills "Any soldier who follows this NCO does so purely out of a misplaced sense of curiosity" :eek: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite was written on a Subaltern's annual confidential report. His CO had written "On the day that this officer joined the Army, a village somewhere mourned the loss of its idiot". Nice turn of phrase I thought. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted August 1, 2009 #17 Share Posted August 1, 2009 You are not talking about John on the boards are you J?:o Well, poor John had a long and varied career, but I don't think he ever served in the Royal Navy. Might have been quite fun if he had though. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
