PlakChat / I don't want to go

« on: August 29, 2003, 12:05:53 PM »

Yep, never thought i'd say it but I don't want to go. No its not some peverse desire for grey skies and rain, rather that i'm scared rigid of flying. Why can't someone invent a transporter like in Star Trek, that would be great plus of course it would cut out that damn transfer!

So think of me when I thunder down that runway in 9 and a half hours time fuelled up on my double whisky and Valium!

Anyone else here not too keen on this flying lark?

Yes that would make sense, don't posts in the test forum get deleted periodically?

Plakias / Crowded Plakias?

Well I wont be starving myself for 3 days, far too much yummy food to enjoy but I imagine some wine might be imbided!

Yes thats a tricky one. On the one hand splitting would be easier but that wouldn't be fair on the tee-totaler with the appetite of a mouse compared to the vino glugging person who hasn't eaten in 3 days

PlakChat / Who Speaks Greek ?

I'm in the same boat as John. I hate being the typical Brit aboard, but at least I dont speak loudly or get so rat-arsed as to make a complete spectacle of myself.

I would like to learn Greek but I'm afraid it will have to get in line after Italian and thats not going too well either, much to Margheritas annoyance!

Unfortunately not, that record of 18 will stand for some time I would imagine.

Ahh good old PCs, you can always rely on them to do things you dont want and vice versa!

Yes you are right of course. Thanks for the info.

Blimey, hadn't checked in a while. Thought I only had 2 votes! This reply notification jobby seems a bit tempremental.
Leftheris is certainly a character though i'm sure his quote that a doughnut a day keeps all the doctors away wouldn't get space in the Lancet!

After the succes of Johns spending poll I thought I would try again after the dismal failure of my doughnut poll  

I think most of us like to catch a bit of the sun whilst we are out there and go for a swim. Where do you prefer do it, as it were?

We tend to go somewhere in the middle of Plakias Bay for the simple reason that it is the closest spot to the Nikos Studios that we have stayed in, plus there isn't a long walk to Kyma for that after-beach beer

Nice one John.

I'll be there tomorrow at 11. 18 could be tough to beat. How about after our meal next Friday we pile in to Ostraco open 24 IE windows and get everybody to sign in?

I think you are right John, we'll probably be busy nattering away. Maybe this can become an annual event? Music could be a possibility for next year.

Where to eat...or not! / It's tradition

« on: August 16, 2003, 08:13:14 PM »

Sorry John but we nicked your tradition and also wound up in Glaros on the first and last nights, I guess we'll be switching to Sofia as well.

Medousa is one of our favourites as well, good food and a very friendly Babbis.

I'll second Ariadne, again good food.

How about Secret Nest, limited menu but worth the visit I would say.

Has anyone tried that taverna that is on the road out of town which sits on the junction to where the little road goes up and around the back of the campsite, cant remember the name but we passed it every day. Never seemed particularly busy.

Last year we only ended up going to about 4 tavernas, must be more adventurous this time.

Marge was very disappointed when we went to Christos as there were no more prawn saganaki left, I seemed to remember a certain someone telling us that he and his friends had been in there earlier and had eaten them all!

Thanks Susan.

We'll have to compare tans then John although I'm disappointed today is cloudy and has broken my run of 14 consecutive days of sun-bathing

Not Plakias related but this is the best forum I could find...

After the demise of my last employer (financially not literally) I am now unemployed, whilst this has enabled me to enjoy the recent lovely weather and work on my tan it doesn't pay the mortgage.

To help fill the time I have created a website for my local and would like to do some more. Do any of you know someone that would like a website created for free so that I can build up a portfolio?

Even better if anyone knows of vacancy for an IT Support bod the let me know. Wont bore you with a CV but have done bits of SQL, VB, Network Admin, Testing, Implementation, Change Controls, Team Leading, Client Care/Administration, SLAs etc.
Think Jack of all trades (without the following line!)

Failing that has anyone got anything that needs doing around the house or garden? I'm naff at DIY and I'll kill all your plants but hey I'm desperate!

Thanks for listening

Paul
