Good day to you all, My name is Simon and I am a retired UK Teacher with a calm and caring nature. I have 'DBS Certification' and 'References can be provided for serious inquiries'. >>> I am a Hetrosexual Male looking for a *** F e m a l e *** Cruise partner <<< *** No strings attached *** I'm in my 60's with an athletic build, very active exercising 5/6 days per week, I am intelligent, articulate and can usually find the same wavelength of others, I have many varied interests, I'm an all round decent guy and an animal lover, I'm also a Non-Smoker/Vaper and also 'Not Vaccinated with the Covid Jab' of which I would prefer my potential cruise partner to be the same. My life experiences stand me in good stead for most situations and I know that money is not everything, it certainly cannot buy health and happiness and I can always see both sides of an argument which I believe is essential in life, all of which makes me an ideal cruise partner. If you need to know more just ask. Take care and have many pleasant dreams. Simon x

I would be interested to see if anyone on Silversurfers has been to Corsica. Some friends went a few years ago and raved about it.

I've just joined and looking forward to inter-acting with others of my age group.

The Vicar at my church included these words in his sermon. They may have been written by an American soldier in WW2 and can be found on many websites. They are profoundly moving: “Look, God, I’ve never spoken to you, And now I want to say: “ How do you do?” You see, God, they told me you didn’t exist, And I, like a fool, believed all this. Last night, from a shell hole, I saw your sky, And I figured then they’d told me a lie. I wonder, God, if you’d take my poor hand? Somehow I feel you would understand. Strange I had to come to this hellish place Before I had time to see your face. Well, I guess there isn’t much more to say, But I’m glad, God, that I met you today. The zero hour will soon be here But I’m not afraid; because you are near. The signal has come, I shall soon have to go I like you lots - this I want you to know. I’m sure this’ll be a horrible fight: Who knows? I may come to your House tonight. Though I wasn’t friendly to you before, I wonder, God, if you’d wait at Your door? Look, I’m shedding tears, me shedding tears! Oh! How I wish I’d known you those long, long years. Well, I have to go now, dear God. Goodbye But now that I’ve met you, I’m not scared to die.”

Already paid for, cancellation due to health chang of lady friend, means I'll travel alone, unless I find a companion. I'm a retired Doctor (71) now helping to run a worldwide nentor charity as it's Rapporteur. I live in Dulwich London & the cruise embarks from Tilbury Dec 20th. Good manners & courtesy make this eminently possible with an honest exchange of information.

Hi all, just joined this site, am a male mid 70s. Have been travelling on my own for a number of years, but getting tired of single supplements, so in essence I would like to find a travel buddy, male or female for travel by land, air or sea. I reside in Hampshire, so anyone near would be ideal. Many thanks. T

I liked Dallas and dynasty

I was invited to lunch by a male friend, not a boyfriend and we ordered from the menu. I ordered lamb noisette and had just started to eat, when he wanted a bit of lamb on my plate and proceeded to take a bit with his fork. I was quite surprised and quite upset. He thought it was okay to share from each others plates, but I think it is a horrible habit. Maybe I am a little uptight about not sharing my meal unless it is a sharing platter or at least offered by me. Needless to say, I won't be accepting any more invitations from him. Am I uptight?

Hi Folks Most of my working life has been involved in doing admin/finance work. I am in my mid 50s now and thinking of making a change. Where do you think I should start in choosing a different career? Should I take a skills test or talk to a careers advisor or something else. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem. When playing Silversurfers Games for the past couple of days the screen suddenly and repeatedly disappears and a website inviting me to enrol for a training course with "Progressive Property" appears instead. The only way to get rid of this is to close the browser tab which also means closing the Silversurfers Game! Appears to be an issue when using Edge as a browser but not Chrome.

Do the powers that be think we are stupid? Just a few days after the most hated budget in decades, we have this egregious hatchet job on the King and Prince of Wales. Aiming for a socialist republic? At the very least it is distasteful. The amount of money and the time period over which it refers to are so manipulated as to render it Putin-like in its doubtful veracity. If there are questions to be asked, do so. Trial by media is undemocratic and despicable when used against those who cannot answer back.

Hi, I'm an 83 yr old widow from Oregon, USA. Would like to chat...love gardening.
