Joan Hickman was a wonderful Agatha Christie as is Julia McKenzie, I still watch them if their is boring tv on. Agatha Christie must have had a brilliant intellect.

I read crime novels, well I would, but get annoyed when the author gets procedures wrong, sloppy research. My real passion is historical novels set between 1100 and 1700. My history teacher would be astounded because I hated history at school, I blame the boring teaching methods.

To be honest I love mince pies but after two or three weeks of daily eating, I get fed up with them.

I refuse to eat mince pies before December, it's just wrong. 😁

Cold day but dry. Last grass cut for me, next will be mid March. Emptied the lawn mower of petrol, Fresh in the Spring. I made the mistake of trying to start it a couple of years ago with stale petrol in it.

What a game ! Incredible rugby.

They won,just another great match up to follow.

There's only two of us so don't need extra space. The money will go towards another winter cruise in March, if there are any bargains 😁

I saw that. Not worth the extra.

Good morning, bright but cold. I have just received an upgrade offer for our Jan cruise on Azure. We are in a suite, first time, and been offered a penthouse suite, minimum bid £660 each.. Not bothered but interesting because I understood offers were only sent to people who hsd booked direct, we booked through an agent.

Well done Selbourne, definitely a result !

I have a Nationwide Flexiplus account. Opened with £100 and I top up to keep in credit. No stipulation to pay in any amount per month.

You can contact the insurance company through the Nationwide web site and they will go through personal details and give you the cost before you commit to opening an account.

Absolutely the correct decision. We have Nationwide Plus account which is at least 50% cheaper for annual insurance. .

Too Many people have a similar attitude, I want and to hell with how it will impact others. Well done.

Not P&O I assume. Some other lines have tips added and you have the option to remove/adjust them.

Very simple, either tip or don't. We try to get the same table every night, we arranged this on our recent. Arvia cruise, so tipped the waiters. We also have our cabin steward some euros. Personal choice Don't make a big deal our of it

Wrong years, 25 and 26.

After our experience with Iona, 35 nights Jan 25, I will not book at launch again.

I have never ben loyal to one brand and have sailed on most of the medium priced brands. The passenger make up is changing with cruises become competitive with hotels. I am lead by price, itinary and ship. Great choices these days and long may it continue.

Good morning. Light rain, with the promise of better to come. Off to Chester today for a reunion weekend. First time in the area so will explore. Looking forward to seeing ex colleagues and friends I served with many years ago. It was an annual event until you know what, but started again two years ago. Held in different cities each year, 24 in Stirling. Weather is forecast to be very good, a bonus. Still got my fingers crossed !

Wednesday night Grab a granny in my Navy days in Chatham 😁

Good morning. Cloudy, little rain, got to be positive, mini heatwave starts tomorrow. Still got fingers crossed !

Interesting. As I said, I have been to Limelight Club 5 times since September 21 to September 23. Each time it was first come, first served.

How did they stop people from arriving first from sitting at you table if no name or cabin number onit?
