I certainly do remember him and for all the wrong reasons. We were once on the same cruise. Self opinionated and egotistical, his table companions didn’t seem very impressed with his superior attitude either.
I remember he wore a pair of brown plastic framed glasses but the two lenses were different shapes. The man looked a fool but it clearly satisfied his ego.

I certainly was uncomfortable with some of his posts.

But QBman, or Cubie. There was a gent.

Didn't he ask you to do something with a bucket during one of your many forum encounters

[Stephen]

Put money in it for his next cruise

I wonder what happened to “Dennis the Menace"…I do recall him having some health issues prior to the publication of his ….? Goes Cruising book.

He did! It was a badge of honour that I managed to get under the skin of the pompous, attention seeking individual. He certainly brought out the best in me
Actually when he wasn't attempting to enforce his superiority on the rest of us he was a mine of information and very helpful to beginners to the cruising world.
Yes I remember Dennis the Menace who was a very amusing poster. I wonder what happened to him?

he was a mine of information and very helpful to beginners to the cruising world.

The problem was that half his "information" was his own interpretation and was totally wrong from the cruise line's version.

How about HKphooey, Dancing Queen, MrsShiney and Quizzical Bob?

[Ray B]

Not forgetting the King of Tupperwear Dark Knight.

What I do remember of the old site when it was run by P&O was that when I was on a cruise I could write a message, a report of how the cruise was going by logging onto the site on board for which there wasn't a charge and the message would appear on the site. My daughters could then log on to the site using my log in and read how we were getting on. I don't remember how long the ability to use the site on board with no charge, you didn't have to pay for internet access to use it, until I assume P&O realised that this was what people were doing and it stopped. No free access on board. It was certainly a very lively site with lots of information for people and many members. I would have thought it was quite good advertising for P&O and may have attracted people who were thinking of a cruise.

One thought, Foxy was Derek married, if so did he have his wife with him, if so what was she like?

Yes he was married and from reports that I read at the time she was the total opposite!

[Stephen]

Yes she looked a nice lady
