You pulled an all nighter then Notso?

That's a bit unnecessary, calling my Blod an "all nighter" !

[qbman1]

I thought it was a muscle he'd pulled....

How are you today Shiney boy - not picked up the "bug" - I hope all the family are well

Scanner Man's still in the bathroom after last night's curry !

Did anyone see this on the BBC this morning? - the best chortle I've had for a long time.....

Thanks, folks. Not feeling 100%, but I was like that before I went to the curry house (run by a Bangladeshi...) and enjoyed a very nice lamb korma. The Lady C is much improved and returning to work today, Welshie is better, Seren is back to full health but her daddy is now poorly

Tends to lose a bit of its impact without the sound !

[qbman1]

I've worked out what it is all about now. Mrs Krankie certainly seems to have let herself go !

[Silver_Shiney]

she never had it in the first place...

[qbman1]

Think I'd prefer a night with the gorilla !

[Silver_Shiney]

this can be arranged....

[qbman1]

Let me know in advance so I can get some bananas in

Looks like Naga Mingemuncher or whatever she is called, was struggling to keep a straight face !

[Not so ancient mariner]

C*ck up - or conspiracy. That's the question. Nice one though......

My money's on deliberate

Looks like it's me then.........losers

[Ray B]

Stephen, to busy with your wine to see what's happened.

[Not so ancient mariner]

My money's on deliberate

If it was, I'd like to buy the culprit a pint!

[Mervyn and Trish]

An easy mistake to make.....

[Stephen]

I agree.

Now, what was the question

[The Tinker]

Not long until I return to the good ship Arcadia - have any of you been to Venice on a cruise ship and is it walkable in or do I need a water taxi/shuttle?

I would not pay for the ships shuttle water bus which goes back to St Marks via the Guidecca canal, the way the ships go in.
Take the people mover from just outside the port entrance to either Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto then take the Vaporetto down the grand canal to St Marks square, much more scenic. Tronchetto is less crowded just make sure you get on the Vaporetto going via the Grand canal.
After touristing round St Marks you can either go back to the ship the same way or stroll back to Piazzale Roma and the people mover back to the ship. There are lots of pages on the web giving interesting sightseeing routes.

Thanks Towny et al - don't mind walking when I'm not in a hurry. Its a few years since we visited Venice and that was when we were staying in Italy so different scenario. Are P and O crafty and charge you for the ships shuttle water bus or is it inclusive for select passengers?

[towny44]

Unfortunately they will charge you Tinks, but as I said you can do it easier, cheaper and more scenically yourself.

[Not so ancient mariner]

Aren't the natives revolting at present?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Cutting off noses to spite faces

Cutting off noses to spite faces

Ouch

[Not so ancient mariner]

They evidently think you CAN have too much of a good thing!
