I can assure you it is, it is about one of the best places. The medical
facilities and the attention are first class. I know from experience of extensive cruising. Both my wife and myself have used the facilities during our world wide cruises with Cunard, P&O and Thomson to list a few. Mike "stuart noble" wrote in message ...

Nick we have heard of operations being carried out on one of our many
cruises. The Hospital on board is superb. see my other reply. Should a patient require a blood transfusion and they run out of their own supply, registered and up to date blood donors are called. I know because I have heard it on a cruise. Mike "Nick Maclaren" wrote in message ...

I'm the ultimate cynic perhaps but having attended 6 funerals in the last 2 months (and wondering if I'll be next to be honest) I was amazed today to glance through the first page of comments on the BBC Website. People who'd never got closer to him than a TV screen gushing their regrets as if he was their brother or something. God help them when their real brother or something dies! Yes, his family will be devastated and I empathise with them in their sorrow. Yes, I liked his interviewing style (for which, in more recent years he was criticised) and will remember his catchphrases and the way he intoned many other regular phrases like "As we go through (pause) the (inflection) keyhole". Yes, I'll remember his marathon Nixon interview. But at the end of the day, he did his job, period. And I won't miss him any more, indeed much less, than any of the 6 friends and relatives to whom I've said goodbye recently and who didn't get a BBC tribute page or an, albeit OT, newsgroup thread. +1 -- bert |
