Off topic  but I'm now an advanced member and have 3 blue square efforts.. wooohooo! Do I get a prize John?
John P, congrats on your recent advancedness, do you feel different now?

Now all I have to do is ply John with enough alcohol in Plakias so he'll make me a board admin and my life will be complete

Hi Barney,

Please dont drink Kyma dry! Does Pavlos still want beer mats? Marge has recently been surreptitiously stealing them from local hostelries!

I'll try and bring some over too (ale not burgers!), what do you fancy? Have some London Pride in the fridge but I cant see that lasting too long!

Plakias / Spending in Plakias

We used to take Euros then panic when getting near the end of the holiday as they were running out, that meant that meals then could only be in restaurants that took credit cards in order to preserve beer money!

But now with the ATMs we are OK and can check out more restaurants.

Perhaps we should end up in Meltemi just to make sure

Errr yes the 5th... Sorry!

17 wow, although we'll have to try and find another as Marge tells me that 17 is the Italian version of 13!

Good stuff, thanks for your time and effort in this John.

Paul & Margherita (Marge is easier to say!)

P.S Ken & Kathy, what time do you arrive on the 9th? You mention the early hours, if you head to Ostraco we may still be there.

Flying saucers... rice paper disc wotsits with sherbert inside... fantastic!

I remember Aztec bars but not Five Boys.

What about:

Texan bars ... A mans gotta chew what a mans gotta chew
Wham bars... pink slabs of teeth rot with green and yellow fizzy bits
Spangles... loads of different flavours including that horrible manky brown one
Quatro... Lilt like drink in cool packaging
Tales of the unexpected... That woman dancing in the credits gave me nightmares
Panini sticker albums... Actually completed one once although I spent the equivalent of a small country's GNP

Ahh yes, leaving you with a rather black tongue I seem to remember although I preferred Fruit Salads myself.

Off to locate my life!

Friday 5th is good for me. The winter UK meet-up sounds good, venue discussion will be 'fun'

Andy if you are feeling nostalgic check out http://tv.cream.org/arkcrest2.htm
for more fizzy fun! I'd forgotten about half of these. Now I'm off to find a website about those lumps of green and white chewy goodness...pacers

Sounds great, count us in.  About 9:00 sounds right to me. I'll second Medousa, just wonder if they'll be too busy to cater for a large group? May I suggest we choose an earlier date so that 1. John (Ostraco) can join us and 2. It wont be so close to the end of our holiday and I'll be miserable!

How about Thursday 4th of September?
