Good Morning Cruisers from the Balcony :D :D :D :D

Did it rain last night :?: :?: I hope those awaiting the 24th Oct Cruise are ready for it :sun :hyper :sun - anything to get away from this dismal weather :bawl - it seems so cold back here - even if I am closer to the sun than most (14 floors up for new comers).

Just put the vacume in the middle of the floor but it just stares at me - what am I doing wrong - yes I have plugged it in and there is electric :rofl :rofl

Are you keeping up the excerises vivien :hmmm ( I have a photo to prove that Vivien went :hyper to arobics (it is available to the highest bidder). :yipee

On the point of tipping - (we had one of the waiters (Danal) who waits on the even numbered tables not sure of which - as this happened when we were all in one sitting, but we got a pot of english tea after dinner so I gave him a £5) When they go home, which they mostly do on Nov 1st to Bali only $ or £ are recognised the euro :wlink is like Chinnes Yen useless. Bear it in mind.

With Love and Envey for those going on the 24th

p.s tried to put 10 pictures up on the site but could not find where to put the date and location - still having problems with captions, Mike I will pm you about it.

It`s always the `coming home` that`s the bummer isn`t it Phil?!

There is a vucuum re-training workshop available for disobedient electrical equipment if yours isn`t behaving properly.

It`s called: "Working On Machines And Neurosis"

Also know as W.O.M.A.N. :shock: ........WHAT A COINCIDENCE! :rofl :rofl :bow

Good Afternoon from the balcony :D :D :D :D

Overall the food was well presented on the Melody, if somewhat only just warm, :cry: mind you of the two whom had the lobster none were impressed, :roll: :shrug as one commented it was not caught; :fish it just gave it's self up. :whoops

Just had a lovely plate of Sausage, Egg and Chips :pele grand food with white death bread and butter. :bow ( Yes Vivien Holly Bush from Harrods), well the poor mans Harrods renamed Lidi, well it is just as exclusive, exclusivly for the decerning palate. Do not on the cruise ask for 'Horse Raddish' for the steak besides near causing bedlum you will proberly get tomatoe ketchup. as Bill (Romeo) will verify.

Thanks for the tip TonyW I will look out for the classes. if nothing else it goes to show you must be as daft as I or more so. :rofl :rofl :rofl You sure know how to live dangeriously :omg

On our cruise we all at sometime met 'Finger' and his Mrs. if vivien or chris have the time and wish to i'll let them tell the tale, 'cause I do not think anyone would believe me and the tale I would tell.
One of the coven is a author, in a smal way I am going to see if I can pursude her to write it - maybe for a prized bottle of Baileys.

Off on Wednesday to see :bhead Himmlers daughters etc.. but after all the encouragement I had from the gang :pele I do feel I have the confidence to tell them to experiment on someone else. :no Be carefull anyone walking around St Tropez they have small bollards, like on the Kennet and Avon Canel easy to step into and fall over. I missed them thanks to the vigilance of Mother and Sis. (Vivien and Chris)

Drying up here now, but still murky clouds and not good weather for taking photos for ebay :bawl .

Just a reminder that Watchdog is on at 8.30 tonight ( Monday) for one week only. I thought I might mention this in case you-know-who are featured.

Good Morning from the Balcony :D :D :D :D

'Oh what a buitifull morning 8) Oh what a buuuitfull day, something just got in my waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy' 8) 8) 8)
Come on join in - :oops: it's a wonderful sunny morning. Number 2 just left for work, that means that only her will be calling tonight as she'll be staying - I can feel another song coming on :shock: :offtop :bow :bow

Were we on Watchdog last night ? :shrug I never had the tele on until 9pm when 'Waking the Dead' came on. (thinking of it the title could be used for our friends at Rise and the Daily Express it's a bit like that getting a responce from them) :bhead :bhead . Since I had the confirmation of the cruise the head aches stopped. (I wonder why)

TonyW I tried that
"Working On Machines And Neurosis"
on Number 2last night, it did not work her reply was, Dad just put it away, if your not going to use it, (Uh so much for caring children) She then came back with 'useing the vacume will be good excersise for your hand' :omg any excuse so she does not have to do it. I did get a cup of tea in bed this morning so it's not all gloom at the glums (that'l test your memory) :hmmm

'Fingers & his Mrs' story may be published on the net, number 2 could not stop laughing at my retale of it, so she may well write it - if she does I will email all thiose who want it.

Bye for now

Phil :kiss

No mention on Watchdog last night, but they did say in an earlier programme they are keeping an eye on the situation.

Phil,

Thinking of changing my username to "The Oracle" :lol: :lol: :lol:

`Watchdog` are turning out to be a `wet nosed puppy` on this aren`t they? Or perhaps a `lapdog.`

Mind you, the DE group are pretty powerful........they are probably safer oicking on a sole trader or someone who can`t afford to take them to court.

Good Evening (Yet again)

Well there's not much on the box, and I need charlie, my 8 year old grandson to work the vidieo - so thats it. :bow :offtop (I know - but what the hell -live life to the full) :bow

Where does one go after a 5 star rating :?: :fly or perhaps become a :pele :pele How does one become a line dancer :?: (answers on a £50 note please - I need to start a cruise fund some how) :rofl If not a LD :pele
Perhaps on another cruise :?:

Hi all

I got home about 8.45 yesterday evening from the 17/10 Melody cruise but have only just managed to catch up with things. The cruise was excellent, as was the company. There were about 10 DE cruisers on board and about 100 Brits all together, the majority of the rest being Italians and Germans with a lesser amount of French. I managed to meet up with Trevor Burns, Lydia and Cruiser from HT, as well as Rob Martinez who now has plans to check in with us in the near future. I spread the word about this site to many other Brits as well.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience (except maybe for yesterday's flight home that was bumpy to say the least). Decent sized cabin, great food, interesting and knowledgeable guides on the excursions I took all made it well worth £10!

I will post a better report in the Cruise Report section later, when I have got the washing/ironing/work back under control. Great to hear that another cruise has been granted; I hope this is a sign of better things to come. I wondered if Watchdog had featured anything more about our chums at DE/RT when I saw it had been on last night. Glad I didn't miss anything.

Until later....

Hi, Ledzep,

Sounds like you've had a brilliant trip, at last.

Glad you enjoyed meeting me on the cruise and hope you were happy with all the drinks I bought you!

Er, was it my double or my ghost? Or the free ding-dong??

It's true I was 'booked' on Melody, but never confirmed - and here I am still on dry land.

Sounds like there were some rum goings-on at the bar! Did Trevor and Lydia really exist?
