So right mate, it's incredible how quick the fortunes of some clubs turn around. So competitive in the EFL, once you drop in there, it's a huge battle.

Hi Mate. Many, many thanks for posting this delightful video. Your KFC bun made my mouth water although I wouldn't have had the sage and onion stuffing cos I loathe onions. You have a nice car there. Is it electric ? We don't have a car but possibly in the future if Kumar can pass his test, maybe in the Emerald Isle when we are living there. His other half (Goma) has passed her test but I won't be getting into any car which she's driving. So now we'll be waiting for your next, vlog, Paul. Have a good Christmas my friend. Dai (Anthony)

Heya Dai, happy Christmas my friend. Hope your spending some time with friends and family and taking a relaxing break. Thanks for watching the latest 2 vids, said I would put up a couple of festive ones! The car is petrol, it's called an Opel Adam 😁 my wife loves it. It's a great little car in fairness! In Ireland you will definitely need a car, the public transport is OK but not anywhere as good as elsewhere in Europe. I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas man

Hi Paul. Been a long time since you posted. It's a terrific vlog and Erica spoke in this one which is a huge bonus hehehe. The wind there is really creepy but I guess you are well used to it. I would have hated going out so far for a pee, in that weather. I would have found a bucket or something for the bedroom. I'm not a great meat lover but very rarely I'll enjoy a well cooked pork chop and some chicken curry or korma any time at all. But I could never eat a medium steak. I had an uncle who could eat raw steak straight from the fridge. Gross ! Well my friend, I do wish you and Erica the nicest of Christmases and I'll be looking forward to seeing your other new vlog in a minute. Best wishes from Dai (Anthony)

@@gottawander You're right. We've been travelling the Plymouth/Santander route for the last 30 years, including its predecessor the Val de Loire, which had a far more upmarket Commodore suite (including all the Commodore cabins/corridors/reception and Lounge) to which you had to gain access by card. Essentially, cutting it off from the rest of the ship. I think the Pont Aven's successor will ditch the separate balconies, which will ruin the Commodore experience. My wife can't eat much on sea voyages so we generally take a main course from the Bistro (not the best) up to our cabin, breakfast in room the next day (getting smaller and smaller and yes the coffee is getting worse) and spend the rest of the voyage lounging about in the room until it's time to go down to our car. Luxuriously relaxing, but regretfully getting more and more expensive.

Hi Mate. Another thoroughly interesting vlog from you. I loved it, Paul. I've done scores of Channel crossings in my life and must say that the ships have improved enormously. Prices and fares used to be far, far more affordable in my travelling days. I like this ship, Paul, and your tiny cabin looked fine for just overnight. The chicken nuggets and fish & chips made my mouth water, Paul. Now I'm looking forward to seeing your vlog about Roscoff Town. Keep travelling, Mate !

Design is a little time travel to the 00’s, but it feels more warm and cosy than more modern interiors from other ferries. Only those small annoying details (dust in cabin, that peeled off thing in shop, and those wood balcony furniture and rail should be renewed/repainted) :( Is there a cabin like this but with double bed instead of two solos?
