When will you be round to administer it then ?

Just as soon as she's collected the blunt, large-diameter hyperdemic needle....

[qbman1]

That's an improvement - it was just a blunt instrument last time !!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I have no qualms about my lifestyle as I suspect you don't about yours ?
Corporate entertaining is all part of the modern business world and I don't feel guilty about it for 1 second.
so my conscience is crystal clear

Quite right Batty, as I feel no conscience when my pension, paid for by your taxes, lands in my account (but only briefly before being passed on to one holiday company or another)

[qbman1]

Your distribution of wealth is admirable, Merv

[Mervyn and Trish]

Certainly is. I like to ensure that the poorly paid people in the hospitality industry benefit from Batty's taxes, albeit via me, especially as he's too mean to go on a proper TBM cruise these days.

[qbman1]

I know, I fear for his welfare. You know what happens when you pay peanuts......

[Silver_Shiney]

... you end up as the lead role in TV adverts for PG Tips....

[qbman1]

Coo-eee Mr Shifter

After this one Merv, I won't be going on any cruises and I can rest easy knowing I won't have to listen to another boring a*se telling me how many cruises they have done or which is the best ship/line/captain/port etc etc

[qbman1]

No, you can break out your shell suit again and enjoy your stay in Torremolinos and fish & chips in the English pub !

How so, sir (if I may be so bold to ask)?

[qbman1]

He's banned !

Buying his own yacht.

Had enough SS
there is much more to life than doing the same ship, same ports and same itinerary every year, I mean is it really something to get excited about when people have done the same cruise 4 or 5 times ?
we have done the itineraries we wanted or will have soon and we refuse to cruise , just for the sake of it, so we are looking at a Sandals resorts, Hawaii, Iceland and a few other places in the next couple of years

[Mervyn and Trish]

Fair dos Batty. When we've been everywhere we want to go, or if we get fed up, we'll change tack too. But even after our 500 cruises on 600 ships on 700 different lines there's still a bit to do yet!

[Dark Knight]

no disrespect to folks, but I am not yet 50 and lady D isn't even 45, so whilst we are working ,we are limited to 14 night cruises and we have done 8/9 ,so now its time to do other types of holidays.

I can understand that. We like to have a mix of both cruise and UK holidays. Mainly UK unless funds dictate otherwise.

[qbman1]

It's one of the reasons we like to go at Christmas - I can have more than 14 days without a great deal of time off work

Work, you

[Mervyn and Trish]

I didn't go on my first cruise until I was 50 do I've still got some catching up to do

[Dark Knight]

We might go back to cruises at some point but not for a good while , too many other things to do and see
Merv I was 37 when I did my first cruise

[Mervyn and Trish]

We probably do one a year, but when you're not tied to 5 or 6 weeks annual leave that still leaves time to try other stuff. Same reason we can now go to Madeira twice a year. The limit is money, and you can't take it with you.

Fair comment, sir
