Quotes of the Day: (To save embarrassment we will not be using full names - you all know who you are!)

• A group of us caught the train from Gatwick to Victoria on our return from Venice.  Tom, Sue, Brenda, Frances and myself sat together with a gentleman who was on the train.  He had to move some of his belongings to let us sit down and Tom put Sue's bag on the shelf and he asked Tom to put his bag up there too.  We apologised for disturbing him but he said it was OK because he was now surrounded by females and we had brought the baggage carrier with us too(Tom)!!!  Then Sue took her jacket off and he said and one is a stripper!!!
  
  He was actually a retired Roman Catholic priest with the military.  He told us about St Anthony, who was born in Lisbon and cured people.
  

A group went into a scarf / tie shop and were buying presents to take back home. Tom bought 2 beautiful scarves and the shop assistant asked him if he would like them wrapped separately or individually. Before he could answer, Mitch said "you'd better wrap them separately as one is for his mistress and the other is for the wife" Tom then replied "I wish........."

NEWSFLASH!

The LDBS were in good company in Venice on their visit on the weekend of the 6th to 9th October 2005.

The Sun newspaper reported (p27) on Tuesday 11 th October that:

"Tory grandee Lord Howard gave a party in Venice at the weekend to celebrate his daughter's 21 st birthday and his 25 th wedding anniversary. So many people congregated in jostling water taxis on the Grande Canal for the reception that the Earl of Westmoreland was heard describing the drivers' behaviour as 'canal rage'. Moreover, so many diamonds kept falling out of some of the old-fashioned tiaras worn by the guests that Lady Howard asked to have the post-party sweepings sent to her for inspection"
