Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

When that vile 'person' is caught I'd like to see how they fare in a lions enclosure at a zoo. Even things up a little.

 

Me neither. Whoever is doing this has given up any right to be called a human being.

 

Don't read it H or you chilco .

 

No, I won't. Sounds as though it would make me physically sick and sob at the same time We see enough neglect in our Cats Protection branch, seeing purposeful cruelty just leaves me desolate.

 

Chin up

 

I've got Poppy purring on my lap, which helps

 

Our three are asleep on the bed .

 

Hms Hermes was an Aircraft carrier .

 

Was he praying to the same God that created the hurricane in the first place? (I assume that's how it works with divine weather control)

 

Just booked a little trip to Budapest next spring. Has anybody been, and do they have any must see/must do things that they recommend?

 

Always somewhere I've wanted to go. I've flown there and then headed straight off to another City without seeing any of the city.

 

We're going there next month. Wifey was running in the Budapest marathon but has since damaged her knee so we are spending the w/e sightseeing. The spas are one of the attractions but I have to admit to not really searching out what else is on offer yet. When we've been I'll send you a note if you like.

 

Is Budapest where they have the brass shoes on the river as a war memorial?

 

It is and I'm sure Fran went a year or so back.

 

I didn't know that, but have just looked it up. I think it's about time I started investigating what Budapest has on offer ( I've got about 4 weeks!).

 

Yes, bronze shoes....so realistic, down to the creases. Very thought provoking. Budapest is gorgeous with a Parliament building based loosely on ours. A cruise at night is unforgettable when the city is all lit up.

Always appreciate advice/ideas, thanks IOAG

 

First thing my wife looked at was river cruises so will definitely do a evening river trip. The shoes memorial is also something I want to see, as you say, very thought provoking and we need to remember certain aspects of history

 

I've booked for a river cruise up the Rhine in Germany and Switzerland for next September. Have booked early, because early gets a small double room as a single for no extra cost with Riviera.

Magic.

 

Sounds good Fran, you're obviously pretty good at solo holiday booking as it's the little details that make a difference

It's my brother in Law's 50th so we're going with him and his wife. I arranged it as I'm Mr Bargain when it comes to internet shopping. Really looking forward to it although we're not going till March. Got a great hotel deal for 3 nights and return flights for less than £160 each in total.
