Would it be a First Choice ? (oops advertising )

I have been on Ice Lolly web and done a general seach for availability to Goa on a + - 3 day difference got fed up after 250 alternative choices !

Key the music.. Rod Stewart " Every Picture Tells A Story Don't It ?

Just read on one of the Tourist Sites, that there is No butter or marg in Goa
is that right Em?

Are you being serious noni - loads of this heart clogging stuff.

There is also lots of the wet stuff - told powerhouse it was nice and sunny in the morning and cloud in the afternoon but for the last 36 hours it has "lagged" it down - relentlessly - got very wet going to market even wearing our UK wet
weather gear.

Hi Emisrrah,

On the BBC website there's an article saying it has been India's weakest monsoon for 40 years - it must be getting to the end of the monsoon in Goa now?

On the coast in the North West of the UK, I think September has been exceptionally dry (not me, the weather) - there has been hardly any rain for the whole month, a few warm sunny days but mostly just cloudy - at least it's been dry though.

Regards

Yesterday I was in Chichester and was bored (not difficult there, that town put the "F" in twee)

So passing the local branch of "Going Places", I wandered in and asked what deals they had to Goa? (academic question as at present the thought of returning fills me with genuine nausea)

Reply was along the lines of "Oh you don't want to go there sir, horrible place!"

When I asked what was so bad about the place, the exact answer was "These days there is very little good about it"

Of course they then tried to sell me on places like Cuba, but I'd had my fun and wandered off..............

You little terror, J5

There is no better marketing tool than word of mouth and the story isn't good that's out there at the moment about Goa
Be honest would you or anyone on here now recommend Goa for a holiday........No I don't think soand this as nothing to do with the property scam

Well I hope it is not too bad because some friends who have been threatening to come and see us in Goa are finally going to make it out this November. I will be keeping my fingers, and toes and everything else crossed that they have a good holiday.
By the way, our Going Places is now a Thomas Cook.

Thanks - you made me laugh with this post - so dry and a unique approach to market research !

By the way - Cuba is lovely. The Cubans like us !

Happy day to you

My mate and I were a bit bored the other afternoon and discussing our idea of the holiday from hell, so decided to check the holidays uncovered website reviews.
Well it seems Benidorm is the friendly place for us Brits to go as here are a few of the comments we found ;

- " The hotel was near the beach and we found a spot right near Burger King, it was a lovely spot, and we didn't have to walk far to get lunch..."

- "the entertainment was great especially Jason and Gary who did the karaoke"

- "the hotel entertainment was great and by the third night I had learnt all the words to the songs..."

- " The entertainment was realy good with lots of choice from karaoke and Bingo to quiz nights and theme nights like Grease and HSM"

- "the hotel was ok but all they played was Spanish music..."

After collapsing with laughter, I decided that Im off to Goa again this year!!!

Except for the Spanish Music and Burger King they could now be talking about Goa

Busy day on BE see 10 of you on line, and 12 peeps.

My laptop is really ill and needs to go to A & E needs distructive repair, and I am completely at a loss - copy and paste mastered that! Hem get on your bike as Mr. Em is in Goa.

Mmmmm, technical computer hardware problems - not too sure, but I wield a mean sledge hammer. . . . . . . . . .

H.

P.S. - plus if I got on my bike to come & sort it out, my legs would most likely have fallen off before I got there!

Still under guarantee - but didn't take the extra insurance out on it, PC world now say we have to pay. Left the showroom with number to telephone, rang it and they refused to help as I had not bought their Tech.cd. Rang Dell
you have to pay there as well. Been online if it was not Vista could have tried Restore, but this one asks too many complicated things Hem, you know me switch on, switch off, email, copy and paste. No worry will get it fixed when a friend comes back from holidays.

It's good to have useful friends, my younger son used to do desktop support so I take him all my computer problems, he is my help desk and I do not need to pay him! Only thing is that with work and three children he does not have a lot of time so it can take him a couple of weeks to get around to sorting out my computer problems.
