Staistics please, Karl, Kim Paul?

I have been asked if 50 is a record for the number of responses in a thread. Which of course it isn't. I think. The DF Light postings made more, and the speed at which the "buy a marina" responses reached 60ish was quite surprising. But I think that there was a posting a year ago by "tom", pre re-build, which reached over 100. So, what's what eh?

So What the hell happened to the marina. I've had the cash waiting and now jetting off to Lagos of all places to spend some money. What you done, lost the marina or what!!

Re: Portugal again?

Aha. I sense some mad-english-type plans hatching, such as buying holiday houses, or a berth, or even moving to the med. Nobody english seems able to go to anywhere foreign without looking at estate agencies or berths for sale. It's genetic, and explains why we had the British Empire. Unfortunately, (also genetic) we bought the wrong bits and when the "foreign country" market crashed in the middle of the last century it was all dumped. Tho not before they all learnt the lingo.

Re: Portugal again?

Don't we still own St Helena? Or did we put the froggy rugby team on there and sink it, after Saturday's match?

We'll be moving onto the boat permanently in September this year to get ready for 18 months trip round the med, setting out next year. Can't wait !

The Voyages of Pauline!

Ooh you total git! I mean er that sounds wonderful. Full iteinerary required please. Praps a separate post so we can all stick our oar in.

For myself, I'd go first to St Tropez. Then, after checking the weather, and if the weather's good, i'd get off the boat and go to the Girhelia restaurant (if it's open, ahem) and then mebbe the bar in the hotel Sube. Of course, I wouldn't simply stay there: I might get on the rib and go to see friends in Cogolin, or the go-kart track in Grimaud, or even round to club55 althought this would mean take off the ropes and taking the actual boat cos it's at least 10miles round trip.

Ummm...not actually kept a note of that one and the old days of unregistered bandit country are largely buried on ancient back-up tapes, save for the last few months that got rolled over onto the database.

As you say it's certainly much more than 50 and that's about as much as I can offer without delving.

Re: The Voyages of Pauline!

This is why I was asking you about Port Galice; we want to stay there for a while

[tcm]

ah mebbe the counter is calculated on the fly, not held with the post itself. Useful info/reports to have for analysis, imho, cos if there a 20,000 posts with no replies, that's a bit rubbish in terms of involvment, whereas if er there are longer threads then it shows that's it's a "destination" site. or that massive DFL scmas are going on, of course, but we won't tell the advertisers bout that.

Aw go on Kim delve!....they can't arrest ya for it (least I don't think they can?)

Around the world (almost!) in 18 months.........

Pauline, sounds like you and MrB are going to have the trip of a lifetime, all of us left behind will only be slightly green, presumably you plan to keep us all posted as to your progress.

When do you plan to leave and what's your anticipated schedule and do you need a cabin boy??!!
