Whitey Grandad

No time spent on checking is ever wasted.

Of course I knew its origins. You don't spend hundreds of nights on its cruise ships and ferries without knowing something of the brand and its history. As I have said above, I am or have been a shareholder in both enterprises. The Peninsular bit came first with the Oriental added later. The four quartered colours on the house flag combine the yellow and red of Spain with the blue and white of the Portuguese royal colours. The founders Brodie McGhie Willcox and Arthur Anderson are still recognised in the names of bars on their cruise ships.

Life is transient and fragile and gone before you know it. Waste not one day!

I had high hopes for him but as time went on he seemed to get slower. I bear him no ill will and wish him all the best in his new career. Nevertheless I'm glad he's gone. Next !

I have had shares in Carnival PLC for twenty years. They entitle me to a useful on board credit whenever I cruise on one of their brands. I also used to have shares in P&O Ferries until they were taken over by Dubai Ports. They used to give me a useful discount when I used to travel several times a year to France. Believe me, there is no connection between them.

It's a brand, a trademark. It doesn't have to stand for anything.

Yours?

Not in Kent we haven't.

I would too if only I could.

I think it's only fair that the receivers should be allowed a grunt too. Maybe even a loud scream now and again.

He'll run around it five times before turning back then heading off in the wrong direction.

On another note, it's Debbie Harry's birthday today. She's 80 😳

Best keep quiet about that. You wouldn't want it to leak out.

You try not giving Google your information and see how far you'd get. I understand your concerns but Big Brother has already got more than enough to go on.

Yet I suspect that almost all of the complainants have a smartphone and have no worries about the information that Google holds about them.

He was expected to do too much whilst playing on his own up front. None of these managers knew anything about attacking or trying to score goals.

I've watched bits of a couple of games but the games mean nothing to me. And the TV coverage is poor. Like most TV screenings these days the director doesn't 'get' football with too many different camera angles, endless replays of nothing and shots of the managers, the crowd, anything except what's actually happening on the pitch. It's designed for background showing in an American style sports bar where you only need to look up from your buffalo wings if a goal is scored or there's a penalty..

Various sites are suggesting a medical today. Or tomorrow. Or soon.

That all depends on how we fritter the proceeds.

Glastonbury That is all..

Surely you're Joshing?

Don't be sad it's over, be glad it's over.

When will we know the TV dates?

So fans could get transport as far as the maintenance depot? Seriously though, there's no point in building a station if the rail companies don't want to run trains to it.

Tasering is too good for them. 😉
