Hi All - We have noted the odd complete naughty word being "Fully" dropped into the conversation here on the forum.
Can I ask us all to remember that kids visit and read this as well, and any "naughty words" should not really be given out in full format,
However, if it is a ''must'' to cement a point, and you really must, lets all agree at the least, to put it in the starred format:
i.e. B****r, etc, at least that way, we the Adults, (hopefully), can work it out and the kids,
who probably know anyway, can't actually repeat it and justify it as acceptable, by saying - well it was on the forum.
This way no one can get upset, it's just a bit of old fashioned respect for others!!
Now - don't shoot me for this one, because we can still have the usual fun!!,
I certainly don't want us to be like my workplace where it's over-the-top Political Correctness and run by killjoys!!
Enjoy it and have fun - S S here we come!!

We like the 2 Stars Best, otherwise the Condor, or Little Prince.
Name your Top 3 places.

SO lets note the locations now:
I know you can get free Wifi in the Condor, opposite in the Car Hire place, the Olive Press (I believe), Aquarios bar.
Bar 38 if you ask nicely - -  -
So where else now in 2009? - Anyone tried the Olympia, or Theodosia Apts?

Well - eventually my new Netbook arrived, and I was quietly impressed.
It's so light - my laptop is 4-5 times heavier!!
Small 10" widescreen but quite workable, and does everything my big Laptop does as well.
Now almost fully loaded with software, as I planned ahead.
(I managed to buy a copy of MS Office Enterprise from my company, on an employee / Microsoft scheme for about £17 - it would have cost more for a dodgey copy)!!
Microsoft allow this if you use the same software at work!!
That was a bonus!!
All registered and authorised - and working seamlessly.
DVD burning software, with an external USB DVD ReWriter, a multitude of stuff pre-loaded, a couple of my favourite Graphics programs for my photos.
It has a built in Mic, Webcam, and wireless connection for my emails and surfing!
Speedwise - possibly a touch slower than my big PC at home, but not noticabley so!
A good buy for just over £200!!

So now I am hoping I will get a wireless connection, that I can pick up, at the Apartments.
I'll let you know!!
Anyone else have any good ideas for holidays!!

I took the plunge and ordered a new Netbook PC, mainly to take on holiday for email and checking out my photo's.
I usually take the laptop which is nearly 5Kg with all the bits, while a netbook is just over 1Kg, maybe 2Kg with all the bits.
Much lighter to carry over.
I ordered it and the delivery choice was a 48hr. service by ParcelForce (Royal Mail).
It was collected the following lunchtime according to the tracker, but not due for delivery until next tuesday!
Not good for me as I start Night shift the night previous and need to be asleep.
So I emailed them and asked for delivery by Sat as advertised (48hr).
I even offered to pay an extra fee if required - - -were they the slighted bit interested - no -
no wonder they are going slowly out of business!!

This was the reply;
Dear Tony (me), Thank you for your enquiry.
I have checked the tracking number you have provided and your parcel was collected today 21/05/09.  Due to the bank holiday weekend.  The first delivery will take place between 7.00am and 5.30pm on 26/05/09.
If there is no one available to accept the parcel on this date, a "Sorry we missed you" card will be left giving further instructions on delivery options. Kind regards, Laura Pearson, Parcelforce Worldwide, Customer Service Email Team
What fabulous Customer Service on a "Guaranteed" 48 hour Delivery!!!
No wonder the private firms are getting all their business these days!
Anyone else love the Royal Mail service?

Anything still to open up?
Hows the Kantina Snacks and water sports on the beach? Last year they didn't start until June.
Any venues still closed.
I spoke to Sally in the San Stef Travel today, she tells me that the other travel  shop by the beach is to remain closed,
and that Irena, Nikos's {& Heather} sister is back working in the Thomas Bay Hotel.
Is the Condor putting on any evening entertainers this year?
