Managed to get my trousers done up - just. Any watering of the eyes was purely due to the constriction !!

I had thought of leaving mine part unbuttoned with the zip half way down on the day/s to relieve the pressure, but who needs 'that' kind of attention.

That would scare the pigeons in the cemetery !

My recent cruise with it's usual crop of people who can't work a lift, follow simple directions or find their way to their restaurant after 28 nights leaves me wondering again how they get their pants on in the morning.....

[qbman1]

...but did you check whether they were the right way round, or inside-out ?!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Honey, I'm home

OK, dish the dirt - how many fights did you get into ?

Not many, though I did witness one man who got angry because someone dared to move his laundry from the machine when he'd only left it unattended for two and a half hours........

Mind you they had stuffed it in the drier and shrivelled his non-tumble smalls. Karma I think.

Surely that depends on whether it's day 1, 2, 3 or 4?

Good to have you back anyway. Hope you had a good time

[Mervyn and Trish]

Fabulous time thanks. Will post a review in due course but nothing to complain about at all! Life not ruined. No prospect of compo.

[qbman1]

I'm sure the greatest brains of the forum can come up with some reasons for you to claim compo

Shouldn't that be on the oxymoron thread?

[qbman1]

Looking around me, we could probably leave out the "oxy" bit !

No compo claim The holiday's ruined.

We must be able to find something for him to complain about Ventura - such as the benefit payments didn't come through on time ?

[Stephen]

....or they wouldn't cash his Giro

[qbman1]

I'm sure a few shouts of "do you know who I am?" would sort it out

[Stephen]

especially now he's gone up a tier. There'll be no speaking to him now without an appointment

[qbman1]

I shall have to get me forelock fluffed up

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm just pleased we got there before they moved the goalposts again. But anyway it's Princess for us next year. Did I mention we were Elite? Get our smalls washed for nothing.

[qbman1]

Seems to me that anyone who has even done a ship visit on P&O is automatically upgraded to Elite on Princess. Smacks of desperation to me !

[Mervyn and Trish]

They just know class when they see it

[qbman1]

They know mugs with money to burn, more like. As evidenced by the booze prices, tips, et al

[Happydays]

You're welcome to Princess!
We were very disappointed on the one we went on in September to New England & Canada. We were "Elite" as well thank goodness because the queues were horrendous. Anyway I hope yours is better and you both enjoy it.

[qbman1]

Merv doesn't have very high standards, so he'll probably be OK !

Got help them with your skiddies

[Mervyn and Trish]

If someone else is doing the washing I might have a clean pair every week. .....

How very top draw
