Morning all.
Naples, that brings back a load of memories. I was there in 1956 aboard HMS Ocean (Not the modern one). and Pompei was one of the many visits we made, Capri another. Gracie Fields home I remember, had a swimming pool in the shape of a grand piano. Sophia Loren of course came from Naples, was it really 56 years ago? |

And are you really only 70 now?
I did a day trip when on a Rome and Naples holiday by train from the Hook of Holland; much more interesting than whizzing there in the sky. |

It depends what scale Ted is working to ?

Multiply by two take away the number you first thought of Tell abig enough Fib and its believed  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by densnaps at May 29, 2012 8:33:38 PM] |

Evening old'uns
 A little poetry for you......... My Rememberer My forgetter's getting better But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering If I really should be 'there' And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Often times I walk into a room, Say "what am I here for?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say "Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, "who was that?" Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke. Send this to everyone you know because I don't remember who sent it to me! Old Sage  |

Good Morning! Weather is fine south of Naples - as opposed to how it was yesterday: We were soaked and it was cold. Today's program takes us up and down the coast here to see the views. And GM - did you really go to Vico Equense? To that restaurant? The one named 'Pizza a metro'? If so, it's not the only time we have made this a small world .... I did. Mine was square approximately. Two sets of toppings. To round it off, a shot of Limoncella - the local tangy lemon liquor If I remember rightly, it was from a stall down by the docks.....  |

- which Vico Equense is not
Good Morning! Sun is out, Vesuvio is in a haze, soon you'll see a sirena on her way up to that crater. Yesterday we saw the Sirena Islands where Odysseus had to tie his crew to the mast to prevent them from steering right into the rocks. Lots of mermaid things going on here .... Later on today, we'll tour Herculanum which our local guide assured us while we toured Pompeji is more impressive than Pompeji - smaller but better. |
