Am I wrong to feel no sympathy for the matador who died after getting the pointy end of a bull up his jacksee ?

I think it was through the chest and into his heart and lungs, but I understand your thinking Cubie.

It's called 'payback time'

No.

How's your rabbit? At present one of mine is lying on the lawn sunbathing, stuffed to the gills. Grrrr.

Had a very expensive hair cut last Friday, someone slightly dented and scratched a rear wheel arch while I was parked, I am still searching for a note giving me the other drivers details, but no luck so far.

Thanks for asking !!

If you had enquired yesterday, I would have said the problem was largely under control but this morning, I found they have had a serious overnight feast on my brussels. I think there is a new young family out and about and the little ones can squeeze through the smallest gaps in the protective fencing. I'm not happy !

Could have been worse. Someone could have left a note to the effect that "someone is watching me so they think I am writing this note to leave my name and address"

On our recent cruise of Aurora we found the following notice in our cabin on arrival.

"As many of you will be aware, unfortunately we have recently experienced numerous toilet blockages around the ship. Our plumbers have found that these blockages have been caused by a few of your fellow passengers flushing sanitary wipes down their toilet".

Well I think we all know who they mean, don't we Cubie?

[qbman1]

Certainly not - we stuffed all ours down the back of the bed

[Mervyn and Trish]

Perhaps your excellent Steward found them and flushed them?

[qbman1]

Ah, Sachin - hope he got his just rewards !

[Mervyn and Trish]

At least he wasn't sacked after your complaint.

[qbman1]

No, but I won't be surprised if there isn't a new reception team and new captain and deputy captain !

Just clicked onto "active topics" and cubie had a run of 16 straight last replies. Never seen that many before.

Well played.

RB

[qbman1]

Not sure that's anything to be proud off - sign of a mis-spent life ?

Once I get my next promotion, I think I might retire !

[qbman1]

I've reached a pinnacle. Had one of my tweets re-tweeted by Monty Don's dog !!

You could ring up and do it. Better for your blood pressure.

Don't do it ... I had to make an 0845 call to Calamity and it cost me £8-20 + Vat

The P&O system does go pear shaped now and again but the Celebrity one is naff ALL the time .

Oooh, I do hope FK doesn't see that - he'll have apoplexy

I'm not convinced he's got a job. I think he sits in the local library all day hooked up to their power supply and free wifi with a book in front of him to make out he's studying

[qbman1]

You mean this isn't what I'm paid for ?!

I am a bit thicker skinned than that Cubie, and clearly if Moby does not know how to use 'saynoto0870' to get geo phone numbers, then it does not surprise me that he had difficulty with Celebrity's website.
But at least he was able to get into their website to try and enter data, my attempt to set up the CP still has the little wheel running round after 48 hours.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Did you have the 14 year old captain who has to stand on a box to steer?

Well I eventually got into the to do list but P&O customer service could not really help, the CS assistant could access it at his end using both Chrome and IE, but my laptop still said no to both and also to MS Edge, however my request for a ring back did work, please note Moby.
So in desperation after I had finished with P&O I tried Firefox, and wonder of wonders it worked, now maybe some of you tech savvy guys can explain this, but even adding the P&O website to Edge compatibility did not work, and doing the same on IE MS told me I was attempting an invalid action, or something similar.
Why on Earth have the computer industry made life so complex.

That's the feller - he must have had his mum with him too as she didn't let him out to mix with the beastly passengers much

[Mervyn and Trish]

He was okay with us. Not that a Captain up the Fjords gets to go out much. They are on the bridge while the ship is in the tight spaces of the actual Fjords, mostly at night, so they spend a lot of time kipping in the day. It's mostly the sea days when they get to come out in daylight among the great unwashed.
