Anthony, Please just be quiet and get back to your knitting! Admit it, the real reason you didn;t make it to Parnonas was you had a sweater to finish!

Leon, I hope none of you guys need reminding that you need no invitation to come to see Ireland. Just let us know when you arrive and we'll be there to meet you:)

Remembering that you mentioned that you really like clouds, especially when you're sitting in Athens in 40 degree heat and blue skies, I thought it might lighten up your day to see what we're getting here (5pm, 17 degrees C )

Michael O,
Next time in Novo on my hat will be the "Red Cross" :wink:
My 'nasa' baseball hat still has the blood stained
evidence of Mikes 'reef rash'!
I think I will not wash it and give it to him as a momento.
I'm glad I'm not taking these guys on a surf safari!
Dear Jeasus that would be just toooo much!

Frank, have you tried re-translating what you put up on the astrovox boards back to English using babelfish
www.astrovox.gr/forum/viewtopic.php?p=89...048a6dec3d1a68#89144
66.196.80.202/babelfish/translate_url_co...bf16827048a6dec3d1a6
These online translators are hilarious.

I did a translate from greek to english in both bable fish and
google and both are crazy!
Ah well,
at lest I tried.
Reminds me when I was living in France and out accents were
causing the natives some imbarrasment.
EG ALA 'Allo Allo'
''Hello, I was just pising by!''
Or the fact that my girlfriends second name was Grasan.
And phonetically I used to say
''grands seins''
!
:shock:

It basically ment she was ahem 'well endowed' :oops:
Needless to say she asked me not to say her full name in pubic.
:wink:

It's very simple Yannis. Ask Christina for those "Moon" photos (and I don't mean Lunar images) and I'm sure a first-class ticket will be winging it's way to you very quickly!Michael my friend,
do you have any connection to find a ticket by any carriage and four something?![]()

As for all the other 10.7million Greek people Frank invited over, I hope they all don't arrive at the same time or Frank better get cracking at building that extension onto his house!

:shock: really, it's still swollen ??
Yip Third day off work :roll:
gone down a small bit but basically the same and still painful / throbbing.
I can't get a shoe on!
The antihistamines & antibiotics are making me totally drowsy
so I cant even work on the PC for long.
**Future foreign travelers beware**
if you have sweet blood then the midges are gonna chomp on you!
Take extra care in Russia coz it gets a whole lot worse there.
I'm considering vaccinations!
The boss asked me to send him a picture of it,
Viewer discretion is advised!

I had brought insect repellant with me in June as I normally get eaten by noseeums, however I didn't need it then as there didn't seem to be any activity there in June.

I will speak with the lovely Christina and ensure that Concorde is brought back from retirement when she decides to come to Ireland.
Frank: That translator stuff is soo funny! Seriously if anyone is interested in learning greek I have done some research and have found an interactive course in conversational and written greek called 'Rosetta Stone'. I have read some very good reports about it. It is a bit expensive but, I guess it may be a case of 'You get what you pay for'. I've ordered a copy and am looking forward to spending some time with it. Even if it means that I have the slightest idea what our greek friends are talking about on astrovox, I will be happy.
Frank (again) : The is one nasty leg you got there mate. Hope it clears up soon.
