Double yellow lines. We may as well get rid of them in our town. :crazy:
People are just parking anywhere and at any angle. :thumbdown:

Tried hammering a spike into the ground for a new Bribantia rotary washing line. Failed miserably after following their instructions. Spike head now knackered :thumbdown:
The size of this thing, it looks more like it should be supporting a BT mast.

Now dug out hole ready to cement new spike in tomorrow.

We are boarding Arcadia from the QE 2 terminal.
Are the CPS parking arrangements the same. I assume it is but you never know.

Basically the same arrangements but the entrance id a bit confusing if you don't know. You drive into what seems like a multi-storey car park then you have to go to the end by the terminal entrance to offload your bags then drive to the other end to hand over to CPS before walking back to the terminal entrance. The 2 or 3 times I have been there, there was no one to tell you that - all a bit trial and error

If you want to see "life" I highly recommend a weekend booze cruise ! On ours there were at least 5 large hen parties. Plenty of drinking but no "offensive drunks" and everyone seemed happy and jolly. We went into Southampton on turnaround day and when we returned, I thought we had boarded the wrong ship, it was so quiet !

Okay so I'm home and the place hasn't been turned over by burglars or trashed by you lot - a worry I always have (irrational maybe) if I publicise in advance what I'm doing. You never know who reads this rubbish!

So it was QM2 to New York, a week with friends in New Jersey, flight back, all travel fixed round trip from Manchester by Cunard. A review will be posted in due course. Promise. But overall a great trip.

Been there, done it, at least twice. Can be quite amusing. I remember our last one, all the hens were parading across the deck in their outfits when one lad from a group next to us called out in his East London accent, 'OY OY GIRLS, OVER ER'E IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME'. Needless to say they ignored him.

Laugh, I nearly got the next round in.......nearly. Let's not get silly :D

Lovely morning here. The sun is shining, the birds are twittering and there's a pussy currently sleeping between my legs.
