wowzz Posted March 3, 2023 #102 Share Posted March 3, 2023 In reality, isn't this whole Godmother malarkey just a flash in the pan, designed for publicity purposes, with little long term impact. For ten points each, name the Godmothers of Ventura and Azura. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at Wolverhampton Civic Hall, my hearing was shot for a few days. Attending those concerts and playing drums probably contributed to my hearing loss in my late 50s. I still favour guitar bands, never been keen on manufactured groups, they rarely last very long as they are more of a product than a genuine group of artists who have worked their way up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura - Dame Helen Mirren Azura - Dame Darcey Bussell Do I get the points?? 😁 Aurora - HRH The Princess Royal Arcadia - Dame Kelly Holmes Britannia - Her Majesty The Queen Iona - Dame Irene Hays Do I get extra points??

I saw them at the start of the world Cup rally at Wembley Stadium about 1970. I said to my son, ' I have recorded the cream reunion concert, you may enjoy that '. He thought I said Queen......who's that old bloke playing drums?. He's pretty good. Edited March 3, 2023 by zap99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted March 3, 2023 #116 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I admit that I am more impressed with the likes of Darcey Bussell and Helen Mirren as godmothers, if they are indeed a good idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would be sorry to see it go even though it makes no difference to my actual cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted March 3, 2023 #125 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I've seen TV type adverts with Nicole promoting P and O cruises whilst walking through the ship already I assume shes replacing Rob Brydon in their promotional campaign She sure adds some glamour to the adverts!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
