A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform
the other of the afterlife.

Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife.

After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word
he made contact, "Mary. Mary."

"Is that you, Fred?"

"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."

"What's it like?"

"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex, I have breakfast, off to the
golf course, I have sex, I bathe in the sun, And then I have sex twice more.
I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much
all afternoon. After supper, golf course again. Then have sex until late
at night. The next day it starts again."

"Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven."

"Not exactly, I'm a rabbit in Suffolk."

Just been to the gym. They've got a new machine in. Only used it for half an hour until I started to feel sick. It's great though. It does everything -KitKats, Mars bars, Snickers, Crisps, the lot!!!

Plakias / The wind!

« on: September 26, 2011, 01:27:01 PM »

Hi Stewart
I haven't been there for years so it's possible that it's changed somewhat, but I doubt it!
Many years ago I walked there from Plakias and strolled around the apartment complex and to be honest I felt like the 'Prisoner' and expected a big ball to come down the street after me. I got to the point where I just had to get out of there and climbed over a fence at the back of the complex to get out. To say I felt claustophobic would be an understatement.
I didn't think much of the beach either and the bars and restaurants weren't a lot better. I did drive in there some years later to see if it had changed and it seemed worse so I just turned around and got out of there quick.
But as I said that was all a long time ago, so my advice to you and anyone else is to go and find out for yourself. It's just not my kind of place!!

Plakias / Plakias has changed a bit since 1975

« on: September 19, 2011, 04:32:12 PM »

Just had a quick look at these Steven and they look wonderful, thank you.
Such wonderful days but unfortunately 15 years before my first visit. I'll have another look tonight, I'm sure there are some people in there I recognise.

PlakChat / Mythos

« on: September 01, 2011, 01:41:28 PM »

But does it taste the same?

                 Barny.

Mythos and the other beers available in Plakias taste great whilst there but in the UK give me a good real ale anytime.

Mike

I can't argue with that Mike, although while in Plakais and surrounding area Mythos is a wonderful refresher.  
But like you, give me an ambient temperture Real Ale or a Guiness anytime. Lager in my opinion is Gnats dribble.

Plakias / The wind!

Are Souda and Damnoni walkable or reachable by public transport? I'm also TT so not interested in spending too long in bars, I really just want a short sunbathing and reading break!

I often take a stroll to Souda Stewart. It's a very pleasant stroll along the coast and takes me about an hour. There's a couple of bars there for a refreshing cup of tea and the beach is clothes optional and ideal for a slow relaxing afternoon having a read.
The less said about Dambednomi the better as far as I'm concerned but it is walkable Stewart.

Plakias / The wind!

I went to Plakias about 10 yrs ago in May for 2 wks and the wind made sunbathing on the beach a bit of an ordeal as far as I can remember but as it hardly seems mentioned here I wonder if my memory is exaggerating how much of a nuisance it was. As I'm thinking of a week there at the end of aug/start of sep i wondered what the reality is regarding wind

As you can tell from the replies Stewart, it is always windy in Plakias. But be thankfull for it. If it stops the temperate rises considerably and you will wish for it back again.
OK it can get a bit silly at times, I've been on the beach on numerous ocassions and have got sandblasted and it can hurt on suntanned skin.
Generally it's just a wind, and after a while you'll get used to it, but don't take too much effort with your hair ladies before going out for the evening.  
Enjoy Stewart!

PlakChat / Emmerdale versus Football

« on: July 29, 2011, 08:36:18 AM »

For the first time in Plakias history I actually watched Emmerdale in Kyma ( sad or what!!). However due to the excessive demand for Football it has been impossible since. Shouldn't one television be for the sport orientated male and the other for the more discerning lady viewers?? So come on - let's stand up for ourselves and comandeer one telly!!! I think that's only fair.

Ruth - Barny's better half.

Have a word Barny!! Before this get's out of hand... QUICK MAN!!!!

He has tried to have a word but he knows who wears the trousers!!!!!

Ruth

Good for you Ruth, I always got the impression there was a certain fear in his messages   . Go Girl!!

Well I'm clearly not a discerning lady viewer - give me football over Emmerdale any day!

Arnaki (Mrs)

You sound like a very intelligent and considerate woman Arnaki. Me, I'd rather face the other way and watch the sunset with a Gin and Tonic, rather than watch any TV!

PlakChat / nearly time!

I did George, we have a room at the front and it's next door to Kyma!

                                  Barny.

I know Barny, been there, done that. Nice rooms, and there's a fridge for all your Mythos! Fabulous views over the front but the balcony gets a bit warm in the afternoons. Give Maria a big kiss for me she's a wonderful woman!
