That us GN's have missed out again!

Sunseeker
I need to fly at least business class (don't want to mix with the unwashed masses)

How do you feel about goats and chickens?

Greyduster
My mother always said she was looking for someone with deep pockets and a short cough!

If it's a charabanc trip, don't expect me to tip the driver - I have short arms and long pockets!!

Not a cruise then...Is it to be a Charabanc Outing or more of a Bring Your Own Wheels Whacky Races Jaunt? If a Charabanc, can you get one with a roof rack as I quite fancy the thought of bringing a goat and a few chickens in a crate in case of emergencies.

Can I come too? my "credentials"

For:
I am very easy going (as long as things are done my way)
I don't have a problem with coffee (I have a problem without coffee)
I am a great listener (as long as you are talking about something that interests me)

Against:
Don't speak any foreign languages (but if you shout loud enough foreigners understand English)
I need to fly at least business class (don't want to mix with the unwashed masses)
Can't think of a third as I am practically perfect in every way!!

Can't wait now let's go before bad weather sets in .
Is dress smart, casual or wear- what- the- hell- you - like? Eager to get packing. Will I need sandals?

Oh me please. I'm very easy to live with and will share rooms and talk about sex for the over sixties. I like new places and am interested in drinking wine, eating good food and yoga. I also write blogs.

This tread made me laugh out loud, not just lol :-)

As for there being too many? What makes too many?

If you are thinking of only going to one hotel then I can see the problem.

However, if you are thinking "Big" I'm sure Prague could take lots of Gransnetters. That way there could be lots of leaders, lots of followers, lots of folk who can get into bother, raise a smile as so on and plenty of cool, calm folks to get folks out of bother. Me I'd be wondering round in a daze looking for the right coloured umbrella/hat of the leader before I retired to the nearest bar :-)

Sounds like a lot of fun (oh and total chaos :-) plenty for sensible ladies to sort out :-) I'd be up for it but didn't even know there had be a previous (almost) trip so I doubt I'd make the list :-(

Thanks for the laugh though :-)

Oooh can I come too 1) .I have been to Prague before and know exactly where you can get a hot chocolate that's so thick the spoon stands up in the cup.mind you various spirits could be added to give it a powerful kick.2)i can sing too,like Gagagran so will keep you all entertained 3)i am cheeky and can usually get some extras at restaurants etc. Downsides.....i also fart.dribble.and wander off.so search parties have to find me??

Ok, I'm in. I'm good at meeting friends, eating out, chatting and generally being all things - er - cultural. I like ironing, if that's any good....

No it's not a cruise Blinko it's a cultural sight seeing trip to Prague and it's not too late to join us !

Cruise? Stuck on a ship with people? No.

Alternative offering for the curmudgeonly: Rally across Europe, meeting up occasionally and stopping at interesting accommodation. I will be the Amazon in a Maserati utilising my key skills: Able to curse in several languages, coffee-fuelled so cheap to run, culturally and historically inquisitive, and a raging misanthrope who really wants a dragon-towed chariot with scythes on the wheels and on-board heavy artillery, but will consent to slum it with a Maserati. I would also, for the sake of humanity, hunt down all participants in and watchers of 'reality' television and recreate the Roman gladiatorial arena drifts off into blissful reverie imagining z-list 'celebrities' in the arena with hungry wild animals and gladiators armed to the teeth

This is a great idea. If I've missed the boat (alright, pun intended!), I can wave you off from the dockside. Is it a cruise, btw?

I'm in! I think the 'celebs' get too many perks, and if it wasn't for the likes of us watching their films/TV shows they wouldn't get the chance either. GNs unite!

I am so glad that I am on the list - thank you - and I now know how to cross stuff out. What a good start to the day and THE SUN IS SHINING!! Oh Happy Day

Here we go!

Please can I have juice, coffee or wine I don't drink pop (Oh b***er is that me off the trip?) I'll bring my own then someone can have my share of pop.

This crossing out thingy is actually top secret Kateykrunch but I can see it being very useful to someone of your standing and lets face it you may have to use it quite a bit in the days leading up to our trip

Therefore I will share . ( basically you put 2 dashes -- either side of whatever you want to cross out. The dashes must touch the first and last letters of whatever you are crossing out as in before and after

I'm so pleased you took my advice made the executive decision to include everyone in the list

Okay, thank you for all your applications, I have spent many a long hour mulling over everyones 'credentials'. As I expected we are a fun loving, kind, lovely bunch of people and all bring a good mix of personalities. There are a diverse set of skills amongst us which will prove useful and many of the negatives admitted to are outweighed by the positives. So, I am pleased to say........you are all IN! Now AuntieFlo, if you could just start compiling the sight-seeing itenary (that should keep you off my back, I mean busy). For your info, Flights from your regional airports have been booked, castle view luxury suites booked (fluffy robes, luxury toiletries and slippers provided). Pop and crisps for on the coach sorted. This will be the 5 day taster trip, the followup 1 month jaunt is next on my list to organise, it will be in the sunshine. Auntieflo, if you could just count up the names so far (I can't be bothered, I mean I am busy with arrangements) then I will get on with ordereding the correct number of Goody Bags (just on hold with Prada and conference call booked with Walkers (well you know I like crisps), oh and GILLYBOB, task for you please, could you instruct me how to do words with crossings out in text please). There are additional places available, but not many, so get your applics in. More detail to follow....watch this space........ no this space No this one I am sooooo funny! Lol

A kindred spirit here Grandma2213 I just love watching the sunset (and sunrise) I live right on the North East coast and watching the sun rise out of the sea is just amazing. My son (a keen photographer) has taken some of the most amazing pictures in the last week.

Is there a list yet? Can we see it? More importantly AM I ON IT????????

I would like to come along because .... i really really need the break...looking for the sympathy vote.
And i can speak English, which should work wherever we are. actually also ok at german, some french and a teeny bit of social Italian, just in case we find that rare person in the world who is unable to speak english!
Spelling is good, i could be social secretary. I am always friendly , mostly!! And passed my first aid ( a long time ago). So could also be group doctor.

I was just thinking similar last night watching Robson Green visiting Anglesey, something about Britain's coasts I think. They really need someone like me who has hardly been anywhere or done anything. My excitement and joy would be infectious and really feel good viewing!

My 10 year old grandson says I'm the only person he knows who gets excited by cloud formations, sunsets and amazingly clear night skies (including waving at the ISS and saying 'hello' as it goes by). Imagine what I would be like seeing the Aurora Borealis!!

Glad to hear it gillybob!

I'm with you DanniRae

except I was here first... right
