Sad news and my thoughts are with his family.

I have 'known' Mike C since January 2003 and will miss his wit and wise words on here.

RIP

I don't understand why your colleague would expect to be paid whilst on her extended holiday? I think that it is an interesting point Graham and certainly one we have been discussing at work whilst waiting to see how our organisation is going to handle it. We have some mixed views as you can imagin...

I am not scared of them - well ok maybe a little bit :shock: and I have been disliked for my views on here enough times for it now to be water of a duck's back. I guess you and I, Bruce are very used to specialist forums where, in forum etiquette terms, ones' post count is indicative of longevity a...

Suggestion or request..... As we are in the process of creating a new look...would it be possible to move Word Game, Word Association and the Caption Comp out of CHIT CHAT? Maybe create a seperate section for these games? On that subject, can posts on those threads be removed from the post count li...

If someone can tell me how to move to next topic without having to go back to an index page then I will probably be perfectly happy with the new layout. As I am still waiting for a workaround for that, I have switched to the older style.

Praia Grande is one of the best beaches locally for water sports although I could not tell you concessions are down there this year - I expect plenty of others will be able to though

One of mine always had her birthday on holiday (it falls in Whit week), when she was was little like yours we did tend to take a cake with us from here, primarily as we found it difficult to buy one in what ever country that featured what was 'important' to her at the time e.g. Disney princesses. Th...

I guess Bruce because Bars - like restaurants and attractions like the waterparks, shopping malls, alongside activities like pleasure flights, deep sea fishing etc - are not the bread and butter of paid advertising on here. So information is only available through asking on the site or promoting thr...

I think it is useful to check in with the home page of this site once in a while - as and when you do, it is absolutely obvious why advertising villas on the forum is not in the spirit of the site. In order to sustain the site and for it to pay it's way, the site needs advertising, the primary payin...

Thanks Jon for getting back to us and your criticisms are specific and useful.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday

Hi Lofty I think you have a great time, there is nothing scary about CVO, and it certainly isn't the same style of resort as Blackpool and Benidorm; or Falaraki and Kavos. On the other hand as first time visitor I think many of us would like to hear what you thought when you get back - the positives...

Honestly I am not a "maddi" I really am called Maddi, I am one of those irritating people who gets all sanctimonious sometimes about not hiding behind usernames as I use my real name on every website and forum I use.

This has on occasion been my downfall
