We are all simply waiting…

Personally I am not keen on traders… and that’s probably an understatement, TBH..

It’s hard core institutional inverters we need ..imo

OB

Zero muddy puddles my friend…

Get yourself out there and let me know what you think..

OB

Evening Nom..

Crumbs chap, you are most definitely a “glass half empty” kind of guy…

Anyway I take my helicopter everywhere 😉…

Like I said, visit early in the season or late in the season, less fires less tourists, and every thing is a little cheaper..

OB

Our first visit was not our best visit (august) the mrs booked the hotel and I was less than impressed with the accommodation, (typically Greek) however after a few days I got into the vibe, and once you chill out it’s fantastic.. great place if you have little kids, but teenagers would get bored, it’s not lively…thankfully. It’s an older person’s destination..

Hi sooty

It’s the weekend so hopefully nobody will get the hump about us talking holidays..

Limenaria is a good base, if you like to be by the sea, the beach is not the best on the island though, plenty of restaurants, a few shops, a fishing tackle shop (she doesn’t speak English though) …

Thassos town could also be a good choice…

We like to stay in the mountains in a rented house, away from the tourists just mainly Greeks, I would tell you where but it would be just my luck to try and book it to find sooty & sweep have beaten us to it 😁

We prefer to go very early in the season or very late, avoid august IMO..

Rent a car for your stay, and perhaps negotiate a 4x4 for a couple of days so you can drive up the highest mountain on the island, it’s a must Imo

Eating out is very cheap €50 - €60 for 2 (much cheaper if you know where the good places are) for a full feed and enough wine and ouzo to make you stagger back to your hotel….. you can pay far more if you don’t do a bit or research, all the food on the island is good…

We met a lovely retired English couple who live on the island, we all went out to their favourite restaurant, we were eating and drinking for 5 hours, I won’t tell you how much local wine we drank between us but it was a lot..

The bill arrived, and the wife of the couple we were dining with, slapped her hand over the bill and said how much?…. I pondered and added it up in my head, and said €200 easy, we have had so much and all good home cooked food…

€85 euros was the bill..

Car hire worked out at about £20 per day for 12 days inc “FULL” insurance! Double this for a 4x4… most of the hire cars on the island are old bangers but who cares..

The island is extremely safe, very friendly people, I have never seen any louts ever, but it’s not a posh Island..

It’s a very green and lush island.. and apparently the most revisited Greek island…

As soon as we can make it happen we want to move there… I am reasonably well traveled and always said the world is a big place so what’s the point on revisiting the same places…. That was until we found Thassos..

I’m feeling bl00dy home sick now…

If you do go let me know what you think?

OB

Sooty

I just did a long post and the site crashed, and I lost my post again 🤬

Hi Webbo

Thanks for your informative post, unfortunately we love thassos in Greece, we have friends on the island … so it’s where we really want to be… however the world is a big place, so it’s worth thinking of alternatives 👍

Very difficult to post this evening, many glitches and keeps crashing ?

Hi Badsterman

I voted for brexit, so I sort of scuppered my own plans, however I have very

Strong principles… so our plan to rent our house out and live in Greece cheaply due to the 90day rule is not happening…atm

We could go the golden visa route… but would mean selling our uk home…

We don’t want to sell our UK home, so we could do with a boost in our investments… VAL is not our only investment, 😉

ob

MR “P” you have indicated you won’t be posting until THE “placing “

Is this a pinky promise ? Or a hollow threat 😁…. Please don’t answer that 👍

Take care MR “P” …tight lines and all that..

OB

I am by my own admission just a simple carpenter who has invested a few quid in a company who I actually believe in… maybe I have Fooked up, maybe not?

Mr “P” you are pushing the boundaries of a normal investor, imho..

Yes, we have the ramping crew, worried about their investment, we have the pumpers and dumpers… but you are very different, and I can’t quite put my finger on it🤔

I simply thought you were just de-ramping to get a better entry (Not my style but I get it).. but I am starting to think perhaps it’s a bit darker than that?

I hope I am wrong..

OB

MR “P”

I have never reported a post ever, not once! and I never will…

I am an advocate of freedom of speech….. no matter how much I disagree.

Imo, You blatantly have an ulterior motive here.

OB

Night metom.

Just remember to work very hard, I need you younger ones to pay for my pension 🤣

👍

OB

Metom,

Your first comment made me laugh….it’s sooo true …

Personally I would rather work for myself, smashing other peoples targets ain’t for me… I’m probably unemployable now 🤣

Metom, genuinely I wish you the very best in your career chap👍

OB

Metom/ Kev

OB, has been making plans for many years with regards to my retirement…it’s all in hand 👍

Always room to help a troubled soul though 😉

Metom

If you need looking after in the future just let me know 👍

Kind regards

OB

Harvey

I have often thought of retiring into a OAP care roll…

She is “very” religious and it certainly helps her…. You have reminded me I need to make contact with her …. 👍

OB

Hi Harvey…

How are things?

OB

FFS..

I typed a long message and just before I hit the send button it bloody crashed…🤬

I simply cannot be ar53d to type it again tonight…

The bottom line is…. play nicely folks … this is cancer not fooking smarties…

OB

Rumour has it that Michael Jackson peels the spuds …
