Whitey Grandad

We loved Aurora in its early format but they ruined it when they changed the wooden steamer chairs on the promenade deck to metal sit up ones. ”Gobby Mancs” are a serious problem on the Caribbean fly cruises with direct charter flights from the northern airports. Mind you, the golf club types on the Southampton departures can have their heads stuck up their arses too. That’s why we changed to Princess.

Please don’t remind me ☹️ Killed any business I had left.

We all know that’s not true.

I got the impression that once they had flunked their goal nobody was interested in trying to get back into the game. I wonder if knowing the next round opponents before kickoff played any part in this?

As long as he doesn’t have to go in goal what’s the problem?

More importantly, what are we all going to do with the three weeks?

Arvia generates strong views. Peter Boyd-Smith runs “Cobwebs” in Northam Road not far from St. Mary’s and is a frequent guest speaker on many cruises. He said it was the only cruise ship which he wanted to get off as soon as he got on. His shop is well worth a visit but check the opening hours.

You’re not wrong. The original colour photographs were taken on a Hasselblad. https://www.hasselblad.com/about/history/hasselblad-in-space/ I remember staying up late to watch the first landing. I couldn’t work out what was happening and I couldn’t understand a word but I was there.

The Spurs song always used to be “Glory, Glory Hallelujah”

Smallbone on the bench. The threat of him coming on will terrify the opposition. As they say in chess, the threat is greater than the execution.

Thanks for the advice. We had done hundreds of nights on cruises and a few hundred on P&O but they annoyed me a few years ago so we jumped ship to Princess. In general you have to pay for the whole cabin which means that any companion goes for free. I did manage to find a ten night one back in November from Southampton to Civitavecchia which wasn’t too expensive for single occupancy. I did a couple of 7 night cruises back to back on Star Flyer in January in the Caribbean and their single supplement is not too bad. I’m off on the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage in a week or so and again, they have a reasonable price for singles. I have just booked a 16 night cruise to Iceland and Greenland at the end of July and my 21 year old grandson is coming along to keep me company. This will be especially poignant as it was one that my wife and I were booked on last year before her illness overcame her and I had to cancel. She really wanted to go to Greenland and I shall probably take some of her ashes to leave there. I recommend cruising to anyone and as you say, Ventura is one of the best of the P&O offerings. Once started it can be addictive. I have now done over 600 nights at sea.

Yet he didn’t. Puss the ball past and run after it doesn’t work against and experienced defender.

But that doesn’t guarantee that there will be ‘progress’.

It’s style over substance..

‘Unbeaten’ doesn’t mean ‘winning’.

That’s a load of clap.

None of that means that he could turn out like Mane.

48% according to the BBC but we all know that means nothing.

Charles was offside.

Did anybody learn anything from that?

This game has been full of them.

I know how they feel.

Aren’t there laws a against that?

Has Smallbone ever won a fifty-fifty challenge?

Whatever the problem, Smallbone is not the answer.
