My redundant stickers are stuck onto the outside of my kindle case along with Covid injection ones. Don’t ask me why but it seemed a good idea at the time.

Things that are must haves to add I feel:

 

Swim up bar from Arvia

710 club from Arvia or Iona

Sindhu from one of the early ships that had it (when quality was higher)

Green and Co from Arvia

Mizhuama from Arvia

Big TVS from Arvia or Iona

Mini Golf and High Ropes from Arvia

Golf Nets from any ship that has them

Escape Room from Arvia

Need a sportsbar for watching sport?

And a casino?

The Acadia Theatre needs the big screens at back and sides from Arvia

 

And Godmother has to be

 

Dame Darcey

 

Also needs a captain?

 

Entertainment it needs:

 

Prime Roy Walker and prime Bernie Flint

 

 

Thanks for your comprehensive wish list. Looks like she may need to be even bigger than planned. If Princess of Wales is her godmother, at least we won’t be short of photographs.

Good morning everyone.  Another early morning  I have rejoined the early risers getting up 5:10 am.

A little grey here but I have put the washing out on the line, hopefully it will dry.because a few bits of blue sky are trying to break through.

The for sale sign is due to go up either today or tomorrow, we have told the neighbours next to us, it was a difficult decision but we have to do what we think is best for us.

Sorry to hear that you are selling your house and moving in these circumstances.  Hopefully you will find somewhere nice, close to your family and friends.

Let’s not forget the 115 charges they face from the Premier League if they ever get round to hearing them, the PL had more important matters with Everton & Forest. 

I suspect that the ownership, financing and business dealings of most top clubs would not stand up to scrutiny. Lower down the leagues, financial fair play rules seem to have a big effect on limiting clubs’ spending but those in the Premier League and other top leagues throughout the world (where there are rules) appear to be toothless.

Congratulations to City for an amazing achievement of 4 consecutive titles.

 

Sorry @brian1 but there will be no claret and blue/red and white photos - my tears will make the colours run. 

 

Right, I'm going to get over myself now. Sorry to bore.

 

Have a lovely evening everyone. Jane xx

 

 

My commiserations Jane. Regardless of my feelings about your club, they have had a fantastic season, in the end losing out to an outstanding team.

Didn't know that - fingers crossed for Crewe 🙂 They can swap places with the Vale then .....

Looks like they will be playing the Vale next season I’m afraid.

I see the viking could be.in your team soon ?

On his last game at Rotherham, he bought a lot of supporters a pint each. A true gent in the world of footie.

He signed a 3 year contract yesterday. I prefer him in goal for us rather than for any opponent because whenever I have seen him play, he has looked a class above any goalkeeper we have had for a few years. As for the 600 pints of beer he bought for supporters, I am sure there will be a lot of takers in the Potteries.

Hi Everyone

 

Very warm and sunny here today - probably 22c but it feels warmer as there's no breeze.

 

Anyway, never mind the weather, it's the finale of the Premier League today and there's a very very very slim chance that Arsenal can win the league - and when I say slim think Kate Moss losing 4 stones! So @brian1 please can your boys do their best to help us out today-relying on you now.

 

For those who don't follow football please scroll on as this is a very boring post for you.

 

It's a day of goodbyes too, as the lovely Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpol and the fabulous Ian Wright is leaving MOTD. There will be tears - mine amongst them.

 

Have a great rest of the day everyone. Jane xx

My apologies before you read this Beckett, but as a Stoke City fan, I am a founder member of the ATBA club - Any team but Arsenal.

Have just returned from a fabulous 2 week break in Pafos, Cyprus so lots of reading on here and catching up with what you've all been up to for the last 2 weeks or more. 

 

 

Not dis-similar to where we are at the moment, apart from the hotel building and pool (there is snooker in the bar though).

One reason we book suites is because the third person goes free, so son or brother in law comes with us. Per head it is not far off the price of two in a balcony cabin but with the, admittedly limited, advantages a suite provides. Maybe it is just outside school holidays (not good for families with school aged children) and obviously just in cabins that can take a third (or fourth) person.

Morning all, had a busy day yesterday, had my grandson over in the morning ( my son text me the day before could I have him, of course I say - what time- 8am!!) Had a lovely time with him, he has a bit of a lisp now he’s lost a tooth 😁

Then I went to a surprise 30th birthday for my friend’s daughter in a local social club held at lunchtime. John joined  us for the last hour after he finished work, plenty of food was left for him! There was also money behind the bar but he was happy with the coffee urn!

Then we flew in for a brief-ish visit to mum! Phew!
 

Looks the best day of the weekend today but John is working again. I’ll watch the Liverpool match later.

 

John has tomorrow off but typically the weather doesn’t look too good.

 

Have a good day all, one day we might get a day out!

A glorious day here sitting looking over the Irish Sea. Quite cold in the shade but lack of a breeze makes it pleasant in the sun. The only drawback is that I needed to pop to Tesco to buy a pair of shorts having left all mine at home. Typical.

Not a follower myself ,was keeping an eye on the football,some amazing results .

Rotherham woke up too little too late and Wednesday woke up when needed 

and congrats to them for surviving the drop .

And an excellent 4-0 win for Stoke City, the mighty potters.

Pete's ship is taking shape , just needed a few more decks 🙃

 

 

Not quite what I first imagined it to be like. Seems to be the design of somebody who had the ‘mega mega drinks and other intoxicants package’ for a whole world cruise.

So a vote on No.26 which was Ventura's arcade to bribe the kids?  

If it is adult only, it won’t be necessary but perhaps a small arcade can be squeezed in for grown ups to use without the need for the excuse of taking kids in there.
By the way, you now have a yellow card for breaking the rules and introducing stuff from a non- P&O cruise line.

Did you take your cruise yet? We are scheduled to sail w P&O in June. I just found out that P&O requires insurance. I am unable to find a $2ml coverage policy. Wondering how we should go about it. I have my primary medical but not sure if it covers global.

There is a thread ‘Is travel insurance a requirement’ that may help. Host Sharon included a link in the final post (at the moment) that you may find useful. You should be able to find it easily. It is currently on page 2 of the P&O listings.

Are you referring to the beautiful Lalique statue in Aurora’s atrium? I don’t remember glass artwork on Arcadia but I may have missed or forgotten it.

We already have aft pool on Aurora but prom deck has already been chosen (Arcadia) although some may say there is room for two prom decks.

On another thread, an esteemed poster expressed the opinion that Ventura has the best glasshouse in the fleet. This set me thinking what our perfect P&O ship would be like. Adding to the glasshouse on Ventura, I would say the aft cabins on Arcadia. If you would like to help us to design the best P&O ship, just quote the previous post and add your suggestion to the bottom of the list. This should collate the list for us all in one place. No arguing please and nothing that is not P&O.

I have been to Tesco this morning too and when I saw the wine offer I bought 6 bottles red to top up our wine rack.  Too good an offer to miss 🍷🍷

Just got back from our home from home wine merchants having stocked up. Maybe not as cheap as Tesco but always nice and good value.
