The world now feels at least as dangerous as it did at the height of the cold war.
Welcome to OOF
On our most recent cruise, we heard that some old chap had been taken seriously ill so when we saw the Ambulance in port from our balcony we thought it was him being taken away. There was also an old lady sat crying in her wheelchair on the dock so we assumed it was her husband being taken away. We then heard that the old lady was nothing to do with the old chap, and that she’d been thrown off the cruise ship for being violent towards her own family and other passengers.If ever I went on a cruise, knowing my luck, I would be couped up on a floating hotel with people like that.
I contemplated a cruise, but the more I think about it, the more I know its not for me. I mean, I hate hotels with a passion. A hotel you can't really escape from all day, every day, is just a prison
My thoughts exactly.
I used IPA and went at it gently. Its a long job that can't be rushed.
