Reflections on our Calis September 2009 Visit

[Highlander]

In no particular order:::

Brilliant nights out with Laffa and Kenny, Alan, Jukebox and Cavfan, Trainer and others.

The too loud music in Scarlett - such a pity.

A beautiful meal in Bella Mamas. Best of the fortnight by a long way.

Wall to wall football in nearly every bar and restaurant.

Having to buy a belt to keep my trousers up - a great feeling

A bad experience at Bamboo - perhaps a one-off

Two fabulous boat trips with Jerry - sheer pleasure.

The attitude of some staff at Letoon - that maybe me being over critical.

Seeing Mrs H healthier in the sunshine - no better feeling.

The weather for some of the time - but didn't last long.

Meeting so many CBFers especially Scunner and Steph at last.

Not being there at the same time as Crabbit (I think).

Meeting a gentleman who used to play for Ross County (my home team) in the 50's/60's - it's certainly a small world.

Being hassled by a few (and only a few) restaurant people on the front - I know your restaurant and I'm capable of deciding if we are going to eat there or not.

Visiting Zeke (the jeweler) in Olu Deniz - always a pleasure, he's such a nice man.

Our very good friend Marta not being with us - we missed you Martha.

"Wall to wall football in nearly every bar and restaurant"

Bet Mrs H loved that!!   :P  (Just the sort of thing I try to avoid when i'm on hols!)  

Rest of your holiday sounded great though!  Isn't it just a fab place to be?  Can't wait to go back ...............  

[Highlander]

My point exactly Julesbob - it's almost impossible to AVOID it. I cannot see that having a large screen TV showing football is an attraction when your going into an establishment to eat.

[julesbob0303]

Ahh, ok, I realise now that you were taking the pi mick, and that the blue bits are your "not so nice" reflections!  

We wouldn't eat in some of our planned restaurants for this very reason - nothing worse that everyone staring at the big screen, and giving you dirty looks as you want to sit and chat instead!  

We're not big football fans, and watching the tv is one of the last things I want to do when I'm on holiday.  (We were talking to one EPK a while back who had to rush off, as Eastenders was about to start!  How sad is that [?] )

Jules
Watching Eastenders whilst living in Turkey does not make one an EPK, good friends of ours watched said programme while living there.  

[Scunner]

EPK's would never leave the bar 3 times a week to watch Eastenders, they catch the Sunday omnidolmus edition

[tribalelder]

Omnidolmus.....does that mean they are all stuffed?

Nice post that H....i wondered what you meant when you said you had stopped at Letoon...perhaps for the last time?.....now I know....but nevertheless sounds like you had a great time with great people,and thats all that matters.

Eastenders.....please No....
