Hi Fay, It doesn't matter who started it, so long as it keeps going! The humour has I am sure kept many of us from the depths of despair when things haven't been going well! There are still a lot of people out there who still don't have cruises so apart from advice based on our experiences, we must bring a little brightness their days, and of course our own too! Speaking of brightness, where is Juro anyway?

We have 7 members cruising in April! Hoorah!
Wallecan & Explorer on 8/4 just 10 days to go!(cabbie)
Alii on 16/4 (cabbie)
Tone on 23/4 first of our MSC cruises(Opera)
Orchardweb and TonyC on 24/4 and(Armonia)
Lavenderlilly on 25/4(Rhapsody)
I am looking forward to hearing their experiences and seeing their photographs!

Daveoc,
Please don't worry Dave, The sharing scenario is only being used now to help people who have NOT yet been allocated cruises. It doesn't affect those of us who have already had cruises allocated.
Given the other alternative offers people are receiving, flights, 1 week Portugal/Spain, 2006 cruise or cash, I personally think this is quite a good option. I honestly think if I was in the position of those who have not yet got cruises, I would give the sharing option a lot of thought!
Congratulations to Goose who got a cruise by this means, Lirica on 21st May.

Smokey dear, perhaps you would kindly explain what you mean by "i am better for laying down a while." :lol: This tall rich handsome man does need to know what he can expect (or what you expect from him) - and so do we :!: :rofl :rofl :rofl

Haven't you all forgotten something? The tall, rich, handsome men will be on my Back Garden Cruise - so none left for you, I'm afraid.

After several monthts of this thread. the lyrics from Freddy Mercury ring so much truth :shrug :hmmm

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear


:hyper :hyper :pele :pele :rofl

Hi Vivien

No I didn't receive your PM, sorry. :? Re the HT car sticker, it shouldn't take 6 weeks to arrive so there must be a problem. I suggest you post in the Help & Assistance forum for Van/Glynis's attention here:

http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=50

Will see what I can do in the meantime.

Hi Fay

Yes, I am still following this thread... just :roll: As for going :offtop I think I've given up as you've all gone a bit daft, although I appreciate that the humour is what is keeping many people going. I just wish there was more news of people getting booked up although I see that new member Goose has managed to get booked for the Lirica after agreeing to share.

Gotta go as I'm at work and shouldn't really be on here. :oops:

Hi Luci - thanks for replying, I haven't seen you post for so long I was worried we'd all driven you up the wall. :roll: So very glad you're still sane - do keep it that way :rofl

Best Wishes :wink:

Fay :) - you talked about senility a page or so ago. Well, I've just realised I ought to take note:

I've just been shopping in Sainsburys and a dreadful woman rammed me with her trolley and then I heard her mutter 'b----- pensioners'. I'm in shock :shock: :shock: I'm not even there yet - I have a few (not many!) years to go..... or so I thought. Now I really ought perhaps to have a rethink on my wardrobe - when I think of the posh frock I've bought for this cruise, the words 'mutton' and 'lamb' come to mind!!

Trainers and skimpy tops - I'd better have a rethink!!!

I haven't read it yet, but there's an article in the Daily Mail today about older women wearing jeans.

This is SO depressing.... :(

I've read it Allisu and fully intend to ignore it, as you should. I would draw the line at trainers and skimpy tops though unless you look like Goldie Hawn, and even she's not immune as I've seen pictures of her cellulite :lol: I feel that once one gets into one's prime (or over the hill as some would say) you should have a pretty good idea of what you can get away with. Also, many of us have children who would no doubt let us know quite quickly if we looked too ridiculous. :lol:
