Last One to Post Wins

I see Towny has arrived in Funchal, well at least Ventura has. Not been able to spot him on the webcam yet. Shame it's not a better day for him - a bit overcast. But where would I rather be....

Perhaps the Goldie stripes need a polish

[Stephen]

Arcadia has pitched up in Brazil too, with our pals from the Christmas cruise who stayed on for the worldie. Looks a but dull there as well but I have e-mailed for a more comprehensive weather report.

Where do these people get their money. Perhaps they have Hatton Garden shares

[qbman1]

They have done the same for the previous three years and are already booked for next - ie take the cruise before and stay on for the worldie. They took early retirement and are now freelance, working like Trojans for 7 months to spend the next 4 on a ship !

[Stephen]

Good luck to them is what I say

[qbman1]

Quite. But I think if I spent that long on holiday, I would find it really hard to come back to reality at the end of it. It's bad enough after just 23 days.....!

[Stephen]

I know allot of people would love a world cruise, but for me personally it would be my worst nightmare.

23 nights would be pushing it. A couple of weeks, tops, is enough for me.

[qbman1]

I could do it.....but I think Mrs C might get a bit fed up being on her own at home all that time !!

[Mervyn and Trish]

We're trying 28 next year. Our previous record was 16. Much as seeing the places on a Worldie appeals I think I might get cabin fever long before we got back. And then there's the price..... A Worldie or two or three weeks a year for a few years to come?

Death in Paradise tonight. Goodness that Detective Sergeant is ugly

Can't say I noticed - was that the one in the bikini ?

Where's Merv's original posting?

[qbman1]

It was on the "Off-Topic" thread but I didn't dare respond on there for fear of outraging the old feller's sensibilities again !

I saw a very attractive sheep on the way home today

It does, however, raise all sorts of interesting possibilities for faking posts, if one is so inclined !

That's no way to talk about the moderator!

[qbman1]

I lives dangerously, me !

[Silver_Shiney]

This is true...

[qbman1]

Sun's out here now - seems Carol was right all along

See you're getting the hang of it now Cubie! I must admit I've used the same tactic to respond without upsetting me.

[qbman1]

Was that the time you suggested to the ModPlods that you should be banned ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Was that the time you suggested to the ModPlods that I should be publicly flogged ?

Very likely

[qbman1]

That wasn't so bad, but I do wish you hadn't told Moby to dress in that nurse's outfit

[Mervyn and Trish]

He does that without asking

[qbman1]

You on tomorrow? I'll ring in for the fish + chips

[Mervyn and Trish]

I am. But the bad news is the F&C giveway is on the Friday Drivetime Show. We have nothing to offer but wit and repartee. And only half of the former.

[qbman1]

Poor show. Radio Oxford used to do some good 'phone ins (admittedly many, many years ago). I once won a signed David Essex LP (height of my fame !)

[Mervyn and Trish]

We've got a Pan Pipes CD you can have. It's our speciality

[qbman1]

Did you get it from that lot who always play on the sea front at Funchal?
