well I abhor flying in "airliners" and I avoid it as much as possible.
I love cruising on ships and as soon as I am able to resume that pleasure I will, they will get my dollar before any airline will.
Cynical Moi?

You'd never get me on one of those ****ersI have heard too many bad stories about Cruisers. Also I don't like sharing my Hols with 3000 odd people & their inherent problems.

SupporterI am trying to picture all those thousands of legs protruding from the bottom of the hull as they compete in the annual Henley on Todd Regatta..... ....
When was the last time you saw a Cruise ship moored in the Todd?
1973 Series III LWB 1983 - 2006
1998 300 Tdi Defender Trayback 2006 - often fitted with a Trayon slide-on camper.

SubscriberGood news from Steve, Queenslanders are doing the right thing. That's Steve Miles, Health Minister. Overnight there were 9 new cases , which makes 77 new cases this week. To put it in perspective, last week there were 274, the week before 380. 2,149 tests yesterday, that makes a % of .42%. Even better news, they tested the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Cairns in case of community transmitted cases, and found none. Keep doing what we are doing, we're halfway through the marathon. PS a few people have been educated about the rules, but afaik no need for arrests or fines at this moment. It's great to be a QUEENSLANDER!!! EDIT. beating NSW again. Too easy.
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

Agree,never been on one yet,never will be by the looks.No interest in going on one at all.
For those that do,thats fine,if we were all the same,the place would be boring
Actually thats not quite correct,when we were kids we did go on an ocean liner, from West Africa to the UK,in the late 60's.
But, from my memory,that was no cruise ship.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comWe've done one cruise - it was on the Belorussiya Belorussiya-class cruiseferry - Wikipedia in about 1991. Picked up from Norfolk Island, cruised around New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Isle of Pines, etc, back to Sydney, then returned to Norfolk on the ship's next cruise. The seas were too rough at Norfolk for the ship to land passengers but we were able to board. We didn't use the ship's tenders, we were taken out by local fishermen and boarded through a hatch as the fishing boats rose with the waves. Our 5-yo daughter was thrown up through the hatch and caught by a crew member.
The highlight (although not for many on-board) was experiencing a cyclone. Would we cruise again? Very unlikely.
The ship (after renaming to Delphin) - nothing like today's apartment blocks.

AT RESTJapan is spending big on stimulus package for firms to relocate out China and set up Japan, Maybe we should follow this. Then we are not held to ransom and the lies they feed us.

SubscriberNot sure this can be confirmed, however should be checked out.
TRUE OR FALSE ??
*SOMETHING IS FISHY!!*🤔
Wuhan to Shanghai = 839 km
Wuhan to Beijing = 1,152 km
Wuhan to Milan = 8,684 km
Wuhan to NY = 12,033 km
The Coronavirus started in Wuhan yet there is no effect of Coronavirus in nearby Beijing or Shanghai but many deaths in Italy, Iran, European countries and USA. How can this be???
All business areas of China are now safe.
*Something is fishy.*
America is not just blaming China without a reason.
Even today, India is locked down but all the cities of China are open. China has also announced the opening of Wuhan from April 08. Not a single leader in China has tested positive for the deadly Coronavirus.
*Something is fishy.*
The virus has ruined many economies around the world. Many have had to close their borders in an attempt to contain and control the spread of the Coronavirus. Thousands have lost their lives, millions have now got this disease, countless people have been locked in their homes and many countries have placed their citizens on lock down.
*Something is fishy.*
The Coronavirus orginated from the city of Wuhan in China and has now reached every corner of the world. But the virus did not reach Beijing or China's Economic Capital Shanghai, located in close proximity to Wuhan itself.
*Something is fishy*
Today Paris is closed. New York is closed. Berlin is closed. Delhi is closed. Mumbai is closed. Tokyo is closed. The world's major economic and political centers are closed. However, Beijing and Shanghai are open. No Coronavirus effect is seen in either city. There are only a few cases, but the virus has had no real effect on Beijing and Shanghai.
*Something is fishy.*
Beijing is the city where all the leaders of China live, including their military leaders. There is no lock down in Beijing.
*Something is fishy*
Shanghai is the city that runs China's economy. It is the economic capital of China, where all the rich people of China live and run major industries. There is no lock down here, there is no effect of the Coronavirus there.
*Something is fishy*
Beijing and Shanghai are the areas adjoining Wuhan. The virus from Wuhan reached every corner of the world, but the virus did not affect Beijing and Shanghai.
*Something is fishy*
Another big thing is, that the worldwide share market has fallen by almost half. In India also the Nifty has gone from 12 thousand to 7 thousand, but the share market of China was at 3000 and just merely dropped to 2700.
*Something is fishy*
This leaves one to speculate whether the Coronavirus is a bio-chemical weapon of China.
China may now have put this virus under control. Perhaps they also have the antidote/ vaccine that they are not sharing with the world ,or will when it is in their best interest to do so.
*Something is fishy*
Hollywood stars, Australia's Home Minister, Britain's Prime Minister and Health Minister, Spain's Prime Minister's wife, Canada's Prime Minister's wife, and Britain's Prince Charles, among others, have contracted the Coronavirus. But NOT A SINGLE POLITICAL LEADER IN CHINA, NOT A SINGLE MILITARY COMMANDER in China has tested positive for Coronavirus.
*SOMETHING IS FISHY!!!!*
