However, given her reaction, maybe it was a wasted effort

Chance would be a fine thing. Had a small increase in my pension but not expecting a pay riseNot so ancient mariner wrote:Mervyn and Trish wrote:Nope, even with the "for" in, the picture I'm getting is still iffy!
Are you suggesting that SS might have had a small increase in pay?

You need to be up a bit earlier to get ahead of me Shiney boy, no matter how convoluted you make your posts.Silver_Shiney wrote:towny44 wrote:A very soggy good morning to all my followers.
How can you be behind the back of the queue and have followers?
A very good morning to you anyway, from your esteemed leaders.
You're even later Merv, and therefore further behind and I wouldn't want you exerting yourself and causing a heart attack by trying catch up.Mervyn and Trish wrote:No need for us leaders to get up early when you so generously reserve our place at the front for us Towny. Most kind. You can stand down now.
No need to exert myself dear chap. I just surf on your bow wave and stay ahead effortlessly. Thanks for the push.towny44 wrote:You're even later Merv, and therefore further behind and I wouldn't want you exerting yourself and causing a heart attack by trying catch up.Mervyn and Trish wrote:No need for us leaders to get up early when you so generously reserve our place at the front for us Towny.

See I told everyone, Batty, that other ships are available and now you've found one. First Sleazy Cruise and now Calamity. Even the riff raff on Calamity are sofisitikated enough to wear M&S string vests instead of Poundshop. Get your rip offs booked before those posh Americans get them all.Dark Knight wrote:morning also ran's and laggards
I have given up subsidising Blod, she is too expensive and now we have gone all upmarket and gone with Celbrety sofistkated cruises, I need all my cash to pay for the rampant upselling of rip off's and things I don't need
Good news for us then! But you'll be back. Trust me. Meanwhile enjoyed Sleazy and Calamity.Dark Knight wrote:I know other ships are available, which is why I don't cruise with Pile it cheap on the TBM's ,coffin dodgers cruises, like wot u do
I know what you mean but I think it's the same with all the major cruise lines once you've done the various main options. The number of ports within reach of the UK geared for cruise ships is finite so maybe we have to do more fly cruising, which we're less keen on.Dark Knight wrote:We have been sent 3 different brochure things form Pile it cheap and not one of the offers appeals to us, we will try Celeb, to see if its worth continuing with or go back to Thomson on the "newer" ships
Pile it cheap seem to be struggling to come up with interesting itineraries?
We've done and can recommend Alaska. Also done Iceland, but thought you'd done that too. Would like to do Northern Lights but more likely to do that as a land trip. The unpredictability worries us that we could end up with a two week cruise in the cold and dark and see nothing! Having done a Rhine cruise the Danube and Douro are on our list too.Dark Knight wrote:our list is growing
North cape/Northern lights
Alaska
Hawaii
Iceland and Greenland
river cruise through Portugal
Danube river cruise
and the real biggy, Cape Horn and south America
No wonder I cant keep supporting the pension pot sloths
