As usual SWMBO & I will be up for it . Now may be going to be working alternate Saturdays, but can sort if enough notice . Only time not suited to us is last week 10 days in September ;)
-
Up for it. :y
-
Seems a shame not to. :).
That's regulars sorted, a few new faces be nice. :y
-
Probably better to flag it up on Face Ache,quite a lot of 'temporary owners' on there at the moment ::)
-
Not much interest in this then :-\
Shame that . . . .as these have been very enjoyable in the past .
Guess that Omega ownership & OOF participation is dwindling fast :'( :'(

Same here, I could make it if it was on a friday night as I am working/living in Milton Keynes midweek for the foreseeable future. I cannot stay in my flat at weekends for tax reasons as it would become a taxable benefit. Well up for it though :y
-
When are you guys thinking about another curry night ?? I need Serek to perform some magic on the motor which will take the best part of a full day, so to prevent him having to rush, I was thinking about stopping overnight and allowing 2 days for the work, now if that was combined with a curry ....... :)
Get my drift ?? :) a small amount of co-ordination and I get the work done and a good night out .... :y :y :y
-
Well, we had a chat today about a hoof'land curry, and decided its nearly time, so if you get in touch with Serek, or what dates are you looking at to get said work done, then the regulars and others can also see,
Guessing Al and Ken, and Nick would attend, few new faces be nice.

Yes I'd be in . . . but I'm only available every other weekend at the moment . So lets see what date your looking at :y

Think it's more to see what dates entwood can get to see Serek, then we all just tag along.

Thanks for all the interest .. I'm guessing a Friday night would suit everyone best ?? :)

Not me Nige . . . I leave London at 5-30 . . .get home at around 6-45 . . .so no chance of me getting showered & changed & up to Huntingdon by 8 ish :'( :'(
Previous Hoofland Curry nights have always been a Saturday AFAIK
Not really wanting to book a "holiday" day off just for a car get together :-\ :-\
See what other feedback you get from other Oofers :y
-
Would prefer Saturday really :y
-
MMMM, makes things a tad "interesting" as Serek, quite rightly, doesn't do a "full day" on a Saturday, so it might be a tad tight to get all the work done in one day, and I can't really justify 2 nights in a hotel just to have a curry ...... :(
-
We can always start early and finish late if needed
If that help :y

Certainly would, as you know, I can be with you at what time you ask, just concerned about you having to rush the job for no really good reason .. nice as the idea of a curry is !! Only you know how long the job will take you, but you did advise "all day" ... :) !!
If you are happy to do it on a Saturday then 21st October or 28th October are my next 2 free weekends .. otherwise I'll have to forgo the curry and go for a midweek day.
-
Looks like the curry is out .. :( booked into see Serek on Wednesday the 1st for an all-day job, I'll be there early and leave when its done .. :) bound to be somewhere in town to sit and read me kindle for a few hours ..and a decent coffee shop for some refreshment :)
-
Bit late now, but dunelms at top of road, and Mrs entwood could go shopping for soft furnishings.

Present plans are quite simple ... two options, weather will decide which...
1) Rain/cold/windy ... hang around at Sereks until 0930, catch bus (bus pass) into town, make use of library to sit and read Kindle, when bored wander around shops etc etc maybe even do a movie.
2) Warm/sunny/nice ... walk into town, sit in the park and read, when bored wander around shops etc etc maybe even do a movie.
:y :y

Not much chance of us moving up to Hoofland,still looking at an island 70miles off the coast off Syria to finish our days. :o 8)

library is in town, there's Greggs, or costa, bridge hotel is very nice, cinema, is about 1/2 mile up road, next to Tesco.

. park in town doesn't get much sun, lots of trees

They've enough noise, trouble around, near Syria without you blasting around in your car. ;D
-
Nope...no plans to take any of them,because my mate has just shipped out his Espace on a Ro Ro basis and that was £1500, so will probably end up with an Aygo or a similar piece of shite to potter around in......sad prospect really ::)

Greek end or Turkish end ?? :)
-
The Greek end,although I'm told it's a lot greener in the North,but until they sort out their differences, or if even if that could ever come about,then it's the South in the plan.SWMBO isn't to sure about the 40-50c mid summer temperatures that our friends have recently experienced,but I think we'll both benefit from the dry climate healthwise.We're waiting to see how the Brexit issue is going to affect the ex pat community,although our friends have already got full residency and work permits since settling there last year. 8)

Won't make fceks worth of difference.

I'm 'fairly' sure that's going to be the case, but this limp wristed government is frigging around to the point that I'm not going to burn our UK bridges until everything is cast iron.TBH...I can't wait to spend the kids inheritance 8) ;)
-
Beautiful island, fantastic food (mix of greek, turkish and arab) and out-of-town very friendly people .... big towns have been ruined by an influx of "others" .. with a lot of places having almost "no-go" areas due to organised crime. Many say it's russian mafia but in reality it is just groups of criminals in old-style gangs.
There are parts of Limassol, Ayia Napa and Larnaka that I wouldn't walk around after dark, but up around Pomus it is lovely, but a tad isolated. Paphos has been ruined ever since they built the airport, a beautiful fishing village now a major urban conurbation.
-
You are right,my mate is living in Peyia which is part of Paphos,and they seem happy there.Our budget should be healthy enough not to live too near to the holiday hotspots, especially some of the places you mention,as we don't want to be living in an area where there are a lot of hotels and holiday lets. 8)
-
Right.....time to make a decision,curry yes or no? been out there long enough for those interested to chuck a couple of possible dates before the Christmas scramble begins. :-\

Nige, I need to go to Serek's soon and rather than sit quietly in a corner of his workshop whilst he lavishes his usual loving care on my Omega, I'd like to follow your suggestion of the bus pass option as my arthritic legs and other problems won't carry me very far these days, so could you advise on what bus to catch and where from please?
Thanks,
Ron.
-
Think we need more options :D
RE: Waiting I'm working on that to get nice worm place for you lot when you wait to get your car fixed
-
Mmm, that would be great, Serek.
I'll bring biscuits or cake!
I will PM you later this week with details of what I need done as I'm off to The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu tomorrow (someone else's car) and I am definitely looking forward to it. :) 8) :) :y

With the building along the coast road over the last 15yrs, that's almost part of Paphos now. In fact its nearly all conurbation from Paphos to where the Akamas National Park starts at St Georges, and there is more and more building up further into the hills.
Even towards Pomos, which as Entwood points out is relatively untouched, there is widescale villa building going on.
Despite all that, we love the area :y

Took my hire car into the Akamas National Park,gave it a damn good work out, wasn't really up to the job though ::)

Sorry about the misfired 'w'.... just to reply to Nick,the ABS Christmas lunch is in three weeks time, Christmas comes a bit earlier every year methinks :)
-

Done that when we get 4x4s, but a bit much for the usual hire cars. I think a normal car will struggle to get to places like Blue Lagoon - though hiring a speedboat from Latchi and waterskiing there is far more fun :)
-
My mate has got his own boat which we did that......the thing is, he's got a screw loose when it comes to safety at sea...every thing has got to be flat out,which makes us a bit twitchy :o

Nah .. long standing arrangement ... Bath v Gloucester ... very good friends of ours Gloucester fans, we support Bath ... but we go to the derby matches together each wearing our shirts ... causes some looks when we enter restaurants / supporters shops / pubs together ... then we go to the matches and sit together .... football bunch just can't understand it .. but quite common in the rugby world... there is also the matter of the side bet on the result to be considered .... :)

Think I'll just order a takeaway Trev...no mileage,no fuel,no hotel....and they deliver! ;)

Nice to see everyone. A very enjoyable evening was had, and it was nice to see a new member at the hoof'land curry meeting, a warming welcome to Keith abs.
The next gathering is in the planning stage.
A quick word for Ken, didn't you see me this morning as you went past jcn 11 M1 north, in your green rocket.
-
The Metro made it there and back without missing a beat, even though the last time I actually drove it was in December.
I do need to make some trim panels and extra floor for the boot though ;D
-
Damn good food and the company wasnt bad either :D :y
If I am free, will defo do another.
Hotel not bad either for the price
Keith ABS

Agreed,Spiceland is a great place for a curry night,easy parking,plenty of elbow room and the food keeps on coming at a reasonable price,what's not to like? We missed Al and Sally,but hopefully Al will be in back in good fettle for the next get together...wishing him a speedy recovery. Trevor...I did look out for you,but I guess you were probably south bound :y
