Posted by one of the Mods, so Vivien it was not your fault

Have you all adjusted your clocks in your profile

and have you all read the latest reviews, Phil, Vivien, Stephen (dogleap) posted theirs about a week ago.

Peter

I am still here lurking in the shadows case packed ready to go at a moments notice.

Too right, Muncher.............the time for action is just over the horizon methinks.

................and now with Vivian as our secret weapon we can blow tyheir whole computer system before we go!!

(Sorry Vivian, just having a laugh, I`ll stop now............before you mess with my computer!)

hi tony
could'nt have been me I don't know where my iron is, I think I maybe saw it lurking in the cupboard a few month's ago. sorry vivien

............That`s right Vivian, you keep up that story then the DE won`t see it coming!

Seriously though, are we all up for a protest if they don`t get the proverbial finger out?

There has to come a time soon when the "We`re working on it` line doesn`t hold any further hope as there are not any noticeable improvements in chipping away at the outstanding promises.

I`m sure that if it were organised properly we could get some TV coverage plus Watchdog (sorry, Lapdog or Hush-Puppy) and a rival newpaper group to run the story with a new angle.

The Peasants are revolting!!

Good Eveing from the Balcony

TonyW I resent the remark

The Peasants are revolting!!

I am not revolting I got 8 new pairs of socks today and Vivien is my witness. :rofl :rofl No i did not win the lotto, we went to Primark

i don't know about Vivien but as I remember Rumrat he could waltz with an iron, judging by his shirts on the ship
maybe even tango so perhaps it was him that shorted out the national grid :rofl :rofl

Yet Again from the Balcony

Petera
I note the message from 'Wizard' is that where Ray Wood has got to

Nite Nite

Phil

TonyW I resent the remark

Did you mean `resent` Phil........or should that have read `resemble`???

Hope you and your socks have a long and happy life together.

Many thanks to Luci and Craig for the info- will leave details on the links.
Could well be why I have't received a reply from Rebeca if she has left but why would her voice mail/ recorder still be accepting calls? another deviouse method of delay tactics by DE ?
I would put little past them
Sorry about the C word Craig, just thought I'd be the first Anyway ,has anyone yet received their invitations for the DE Christmas party yet?
Living in hope

I've been off line for the last few months and seem to have missed out on all these names I'm supposed to e-mail I've been writing to Head of Marketing but clearly that's not done anything as I'm still here. I've sent an e-mail to the one contact given in this page of letters. I'd love to bombard the lot and clog up their post Give me some names please guys or where I can get hold of them :
Mai

I'm still around too! If it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't have eventually go my cruise. I don't think we should stop until everyone has got what was promised I think the DE are relying on the fact that the more time that goes by the more people will give up. They mustn't be allowed to get away with it. I wonder how many other people who have had their cruises are still reading these posts I would certainly be prepared to do something to help ensure that everyone gets what is owed to them

Good Afternoon from the SUNNY Balcny

Gooday each and every one what a lovely day, never mind Tunis Bristol is basking in 18c. On the Balcony it must be nearer 22c because of the windows etc.. (Pass the Pimms - no I don't want cucumber if I did I'd have ordered a salad - one can not get room service anymore can one ? ) Well I can dream (just saw Luci and Van in a leotard must get out more).

Good on you andylou The more the merrier, but to join the protest one must first of all join the club, the fee is £50 and I'm the treasurer (before TonyW jumps in) The island cruise could be setting up soon so you should be one of the first to jump on.
mal thats why I had to get new socks yetsterday,

I've been off

you needent know about the rest of the clothing.

muncher; what this about Shadows have you joined as Ray Wood Has how many musicians do we hav ein this HT site. perhaps we could start a revival (a bit like the WooooooooooooooAhhhhhhhhhh baldy on the Melody) With all thoes forgien johnies and the inability to make either coffee or tea we should lauch a take over. (you are right I do not have clue waht the hell I'm going on about.

So I'll cut my losses - going to join the unemployed single mums in Primark

Bye Bye

Phil

I've just been looking at the whos going where/when forum and have just noticed a pattern. If the update is accurate and everybody from this forum has updated their going by making their name bold, it looks like all those already gone have been complete cruises. The ones left who are not bold are again complete cruises.

Maybe they will charter a ship and send us all away somewhere. Any thoughts?

It seems to me that all along the DE/R*** have been picking and choosing who should go and who should not looking at the list of who has and hasn't gone on a cruise, there are also a lot of discrepancies regarding price. How on earth did they arrive at each sum? The whole thing is a complete mess!

hi all you would be cruisers
DO NOT GIVE UP as when you go you will have a fantastic time.
phil have just been for a walk by the caine hill locks did'nt fall in. vivien

Good Evening from the Warm Balmy (no Not barmy - but some would argue the point) Balcony

Good Evenin Wull am I barmy or just in need of a pint of Ding Dong

If the update is accurate and everybody from this forum has updated their going by making their name bold, it looks like all those already gone have been complete cruises. The ones left who are not bold are again complete cruises.

what do you mean by "complete cruises" a none complete cruise would go on and on would it not Just a thought (Pass the 'medication' juro)


The washing machine must be reading TonyW postings it has revolted and stopped half way through my wash How do I retrive my smals, well not so small - as Chris63 and Vivien will verify

Phil (up to his arms in it)


Nite nite

Hi
Like the others I too am still watching and waiting. Have heard nothing since my last communication asking me to be patient. Have had years developing patience with battling children and a difficult boss, this is something different though should we put a deadline on when patience wears out??
Dont get to post often but do log in most lunch times at my own particular funny farm (Place of work!!) for a little light relief and escapism, thanks one and all.
I have a good friend who is also waiting for news of her cruise allocation, she admits to being technically challenged and relies on me to keep her posted on all the updates from HT, so in terms of numbers count me as two!!

You are right to hang on in there Kate!! I am sure that you will get your cruise in the end so long as you keep pestering them I still read the posts to see what is going on and to lend my support although there's nothing much I can do!

Good Evening from a very wet Balcony

Vivien
You cheated - you were not merry with the pleasure of seeing a rest at the end of a very hard day, also it was getting dark. and I was running/walking fast - (as you've seen me you'll know which part of the statement is true). to get the boat tied up. So no contest I sorry to say.

'andylou' keep at it, as should 'Carva kate' (yea gods where do these names come from) I mean no offence Kate - but from the 'handle' I don't want to meet on a dark lonely road its not you it's the Carva bit that streches the hairs on me neck

Night night. (I'm expecting number 2) so I might be allowed to wacth News Night mind you I'll bet its all about ol Horse Face and Toby Jug in the ol USA.

nite nite
