Cymro1953 Posted June 10, 2010 #151 Share Posted June 10, 2010 PS In case you've missed it there's a major sporting event this weekend and I've been getting myself in the mood for it by watching the Classic Canadian Grands Prix highlights on the net. :D I'm not ignoring the W.C. totally. We watched the Come Dine With Me with the football WAGs last might and the one with the footballers cooking is on tonight. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekco Posted June 10, 2010 Author #152 Share Posted June 10, 2010 You lot have far to much time? just signing off the safety docs here at work????? Will post my day later, it's been hilarious :D He's only jealous Berwyn as he's not signed up for the cruise yet, lol. Honnisvaag is the most northern village in the Europe and maybe the world. I think they go there for the Northern Cape and the midnight sun. Get your camera ready, lol:D:D Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekco Posted June 10, 2010 Author #153 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I could always go in those hot thermal springs in Iceland. :DAt least you've seen some sun today. Cloudy all day here. Berwyn Don't they have those hot mud pools as well? Yes, you will need your swimwear then. The trouble starts when you have to get out into the cold air. Then again, light bulb moment, they might be near that nice warm volcano, lol :D:D. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the only reason to go there. The ship doesn't get there till late afternoon ready for overnight sunshine. Crazy. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely keep clear of them and definitely don't walk anywhere outside with food in you hand. Have great fun watching tourists try to eat ice cream etc. while on the prom.

ekco Posted June 10, 2010 Author #161 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Got a text from my son who is in St Ives. They bought the kids fish and chips to eat on the beach and were promptly mugged by the seagulls who took the lot off them.:eek:. I forgot to warn them about St. Ives seagulls, they're like other seagulls heavyweight boxing brothers.:eek: Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekco Posted June 10, 2010 Author #166 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just been checking out the Aida website and am wondering if there are 2 of them going around as the Iceland itinerary doesn't have Liverpool, I will investigate later.:) We might have to jump ship, lol, we might be on the wrong one.:eek: As you were, just checked and it looks as though it was a repositioning cruise coming up the Irish Sea, via Liverpool and Greenock.

Flags, large and small, bunting and 2 inflatable chairs with the cross of St George on it. Need to get more bunting and more car flags.

Cymro1953 Posted June 11, 2010 #174 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Really good debate on the lunchtime phone in on Radio Wales. Whether us Welsh should be supporting England in the World Cup. Some of them are really getting wound up about it. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
