Is that the bar in the right hand corner as you look at the sea, as that was the one we were sat at. Hopefully just a one off then. We get the odd smelly drain here too.

We stayed in Lagos for a few days a couple of weeks ago with some friends and took them to Carvoeiro to show them a favourite place of ours. We had a quick walk round the village and then sat in the square to have a drink. Had to knock back the drinks pretty quickly as it was difficult to imagine st...

Thanks for that. I found the info on the web here http://www.portugal.com/Information/trains_frame_page.asp Seems there is a service from Faro too but that one stops even earlier. We are staying in Lagos, but want a night out in Cvo but don't want to drive ..... so the next question is ..... How muc...

Could anyone give me some info on trains? I would like to know if there is a train from Carvoeiro and Albufeira to Lagos and at approximately what time does the last one leave?

"You sad person...... Get a life" Oh dear, td. I have been re-reading your posts, convinced there was a touch of mischief there or humour, but I really do believe you mean what you say. I have no riposte, I am merely shaking my head in disbelief that anyone could be so pompous. I resent your remarks...

Come on chaps, that's a bit harsh don't you think? There's nothing wrong with showing passion for your team and keeping in touch with their fortunes when you're away. Some people will go to see live music while on their hols, some will like folk dancing, some will enjoy lapdancing :shock: clubs etc ...

Doh!

You're probably right........ but who the heck is Vic???

Bugger! Just spotted that I spelt "practice" incorrectly.... that's blown any credibility I had out of the window!

Just a thought here....... When Clare and her chums text or msn each other, do they use real English and only use text-speak gibberish here in order to fool us into thinking they can't spell because of declining teaching standards, lack of funding in the education sector etc?? :wink: dani, you shoul...

Well that's it then.... no footie (after tonight) and Tim out, it's back to The Jailhouse, weather and should there be music in the square?

They have curling teams in China??

Quiet you say?? Ok then......... :wink: Right! Let’s all whistle the Great Escape and hum the Dambusters theme while waggling pretend wings :roll: ...... And sing all together now:- Hen -er-man, Hen -er man, Hen -er -maaaaaan... Hen - er -man, Hen -er - man, Hen -er - maaaa - aan .... etc I’m Henman...

Don't worry td, the English in me only surfaces out here when the World Cup or Euro champs are on. I've almost forgotten it now and by tomorrow it ewill all have been a bad dream, when I am on a beautiful beach on the Costa de la Luz in gorgeous weather.... Believe me, when Sunderland were in danger...

ellie, what a nice person you are! Is it a full-time or part-time job you have as a diplomat?
