Hi guys,

Thank you for the welcome.
I have yet to receive a letter saying that the Express were taking over the promotion. I had heard, cannot remember how, that this was happening, so on 26th July 2005 I telephoned the Express and spoke to Lara who said that she would post a letter to me. I am still waiting!
I have sent yet another letter this week! I think they are behaving like Ostriches/proverbial "heads in sand" syndrome.
Like Maureen I shall be a bit sad on Saturday as we won't be sitting on the balcony with our sundowner pimms! We wish!
Must go-having a sleepover tonight-my kids are highly amused, they think I am a recycled teenager!!

Pmad1, Hi Paul I'm game, we might get a second cruise, only though if we can go on 'Ocean Village' if we cause much of a stink - pity 'Finger' is not one of us.

I notice Van is back on an associated site :pele :pele

Phil, I am truly honoured to be allowed onto your balcony and will do my best to keep up the exceptionally high standards you have insisted upon We have a lot in common as I am addicted to e bay too

Good Evening from a very frustrated Balcony
Just spent over 6 hours attempting to get some photographs on to the site a lot of that time just sitting looking at the screen as it uploaded (at the pace of a snail on jungle juice) I have managed to get 5 only 5 photos onto the HT site

Sorry fans I seem to have lost all the photos of me :rofl
It took so long i'm fagged out, I will attempt some more on Sat, as we are off tomorrow squibbing at Bridgwater and may have one or two

night night

Phil

hi phil
will let you off this time. . but you had better be careful or you might get one of those squibs where you least expect it. vivien

Good morning to you Phil Might one enquire as to where these 5 photos of yours are posted? Forgive my impertinence but having been unable to trace the wig wearing photo, I would like to be able to put a picture to a post.

Hi Andylou

Phil's photos are still in the upload album Unfortunately there are no wig-wearing photos.

hil how do you do all your emotions what do i have to have?now i lost the p i think i will get a gin and tonic and see if that helps!!!!!!!!carol

We don't really encourage the over use of emoticons on the discussion forums as they end up looking like a cartoon strip. The odd one or two to express an emotion is fine, but not loads of them.

What about Phil I hear you ask? Well Phil has been given up as a lost cause or a special case Take your pick.

luci

Carol - if you want more emoticons - just go onto Google, put emoticons into the browser, copy and paste and Bob's your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt you have a huge range!

whoops Sorry for swearing!

whoops! Sorry again Too many emoticons?

andylou thanks i will now have to get insruction on how to copy and paste all this clever stuff!!!!!!!! you will know i found a long suffering friend when the odd one will appear!!!!!!!!i mean emotion not odd friend! carol

it would seem Carol, that we have to go easy on the emoticons - see Luci's post above!
