Exactly ....eejits then lol:

Jail on water, simple as.
Poor hygiene, and stuck on a metal hulk with possibly many 'cocks and robins' that you don't want to be near, all being bobbed along by a pissed up driver?
yea, sounds like a right 'barrel o'f that does. noooo:

Been asked would I care to go on a cruise next year with Mrs G and the monster in law. happy001
Triple helping of lushnuss then ey? whistle:
Asked could I be given a couple of years to think about it. whistle:

Went on one with school ... was seasick for three days lay on the deck under some stairs thought I was dying .... ::)
Great once we got to the med tho ... They recon these modern ships are like floating villages they are so big ... people I know love it but not sure I fancy it.... Perhaps fly to Miami and cruse round the Caribbean I could manage to see a different island daily ... struggle but I could try ... surrender:

Be careful of long train journeys too. Even after 12 hours you want to push some people into the bogies

Yes them as well

...and then bury their 'ed down the pan for a FULL flush. :thumbsup:

There's a train that takes several days to go from Vancouver to Toronto. We got off after 1 day and flew the rest. Several of the other passengers had that "you lucky bastards, you got parole" look about them
I guess on a cruise you have more space to move around and it's easier getting rid of the bodies of those that offended you but I reckon 2 days is all I could take

I might make an exception for the Fjords.
Great and possibly the best way way to see them? rubschin:

Who are Mr and Mrs Fjord? rubschin:

Well SHUT TF up then, tar. :thumbsup:

Fjords? Weren't they the ones where Slartibartfast designed all the crinkly bits?
Prolly like the Alps, once you've seen your 9th one they are just that little bit dull

Sheeple say that about me and 'me 'ill' tbh. ::)
Been up there hundreds of times now, but NEVER get bored.
Just so nice to get away from every day dramas and general crap, and to soak up the tranquility and clean crisp fresh air with no one to nag you. cloud9:
Went to The Alps last year and spent most of the time just standing around ogling at the sheer immense beauty of the place. cloud9:
Wouldn't be good if we all liked the same things.
Some come from all over the werld to visit the biggest shit 'ole very near here that exists on the planet apparently.
It's called Cheshire Oaks outlet village, and is overflowing with over priced over rated pure and utter shite, and also overflowing with utter dead brained cock a doodle do 'eds too. ::)

I used to work on a gorgeous cruise ship. Absolutely beautiful. What I never understood was the two huge swimming pools on the top deck????? rubschin:
I got sea sick in Southampton but the rest of the journey was fine. Bare in mind I get seasick in a lift. It wasn't the biggest or bestest in some ports but it was like a palace. Food was out of this world and there were buffets in diffferent places 24 hours a day.
The only thing is that when you dock you obviously are restricted to how much time you spend in each place, which for me takes the fun out of a holiday. I prefer to come and go as I please. Saying that, there was little need to leave at all as the ship was like a 5* hotel. Fuck exploring the sights, wait til the tourists go to buy nicknacks then you get the pool all to yourself. :thumbsup:

Depends entirely on the terms and conditions; for me they were very favourable. I don't think it'd be your thing for an instant ... but the Fjords were amazing!

I worked on one for a couple of months. The only fun we had was running a book on how many of the coffin dodgers would cark it before the end of the cruise. I would never, ever, ever pay to go on one.

Everyone to their own. I really enjoyed the cruise and would happily go on another. Plenty to do, plenty to eat and drink, got to know some interesting people and a chance for a bit of sightseeing at the stopovers. Great way to spend a holiday.
Also, long train journeys are an excellent way of holiday travel. I've travelled across the Rockies, travelled down the Californian coast and made trips across India. Yes, there were some boring bits but mainly they were highly enjoyable.
It seems to me that some people hold a contempt for others that says more about them than the people they meet. Yes, there are some real dipsticks in the world but most are fine and interesting when you take a bit of effort to get to know them.

Fancy a train trip.
That Siberian railway trip sounds good to me. Thumbs:
Not so much the sheeple that worry me, as i ignore most nowadays, more the same old boring view of water water water, oh and of course the fear of stormy seas too.

I think you will find the Trans-Siberian Express window view is more snow than water.

Best train journey we did was the Ghan that crosses Oz South North and yes we did talk to some interesting people. All of two of them who we really got on well with and went eating and drinking with post train journey.
But most were just shallow and there was a truly awful couple who could only see the decent couple's politics and insisted on talking to us at length one evening about how awful they were.
And the Oz Outback which is brilliant to drive through just doesn't work for me when viewed from a train (must be the line of sight angles)
But each to his own and if cruises work for you Uncle then brilliant and I hope you get to do many more.

I have to admit that when crossing the Rockies my then to be wife was heard to mutter "not another bloody mountain". She was underwhelmed by the Grand Canyon as well. noooo:

Dunno what it is about them. ..just luv 'em..loads.
I'd be quite content living on one tbh.
Love heights with stunning views. cloud9:
Meet some really top people out in the wilds too. :thumbsup:
Same interests i suppose.
Never meet a chav or chavette up a BIG 'ill. noooo:
Do meet the odd one up 'me 'ill' at weekends though sometimes, usually wearing high heels or flip flops. ::)

Don't take Mrs Uncle to see the fall in New England, once you've seen 100 red trees the prospect of another 20,000 fills you with zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
