Albufeira? I can recommend a good ice-cream cafe and a lovely Indian.

Have a great time, not jealous at all...    <- <- <-   Bring me back a Portuguese maiden of questionable morality who thinks short, bald, ugly men are attractive...no pressure.

Why? Are you having a improvement makeover so that you look like one?  :)

Ouch.   I resemble that remark.   Yes I am, the new fungus cream is working well, so I hope to be relatively odorous in the very near future...

So now you're saying you look like a sentence? And you want Roger to ask Portugese maidens whether they fancy a dalliance with a possibly grammatical sequence of words?

I wasn't actually planning on saying that much, at best "Thank you," at worst "Sorry."

Is he back yet?

Just got back from Scotland late last night - glad I didn't have time to drop by Kettle Towers on the off-chance of a cuppa now, although I suppose I could have robbed the house.

Have a great time, Roger et al - if there's anything missing from the hoose when you get back, it wusnae me!

Lil, has he abandoned you? Shall I go there myself and set fire to his apartment?

I think my singing along with a Neil Diamond impersonator outside a bar in Albufeira may have affected any future invitations to join the family.

Yes, but surely that's nothing compared to being a Dundee United supporter.

Has Neil Diamond been relegated recently?  ;D  (*coat*)

Just heard from my niece that someone in the villa next to theirs has been playing Neil Diamond.

Ain't life grand   (y)

And it didn't cost me much to bribe them to do so. :)

Well, as always, I had a fine time---despite the Neil Diamond aficionados in the villa next door. When I go on holiday, there are always certain things that I re-discover....
1) I love grilled sea bass and cold mugs of Sagres beer.
2) Airports are annoying.
3) I love chicken piri-piri and cold mugs of San Miguel beer.
4) My wife has a remarkably individual pool-playing style. It involves waggling the cue around while facing 90 degrees away from the table and humming "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard. This results in the tip of her cue actually making contact with the white ball about once in every seven attempts. My sympathetic efforts to offer advice are greeted with "Shush---I'm on a roll!"
5) I love swimming when the sun is beating down.
6) Young children from the South East of England have indescribably grating voices. I'm convinced there's a school somewhere in Essex that teaches kids how to scream the word "Mummmeee" at a level beyond anything normal humans can achieve.
7) I love holidays.

On the way to the airport this morning, I chatted with a charming taxi driver whose bi-lingual abilities put me to shame. He mentioned how busy the Algarve had been this year and how it was down to the fact that tourists were avoiding more volatile areas like Turkey and Egypt because of the fear of terrorism. I said that this was wonderful news for Portugal after all its financial difficulties.
"That's true" he replied "but I only wish it was for a different reason."
Another reason I love Portugal and its people.

And you have amazing hearing if you heard them all the way from England.

  Sounds like a super holiday!
