This sounds like you were on board the Norrona which was on charter to B&I Line in 1990 - http://www.doverferryphotosforums.co.uk/new-mv-norrona-past-and-present/ I'm not afraid to out myself on this thread; I sail on, write about and collect anything and everything to do with passenger shipping (car ferries and passenger steamers (not really cruise ships)). The Norrona is now a missionary ship, the Logos Hope. I had the doubtful pleasure of visiting her in Kiel towards the end of the conversion from car ferry in February 2008; the Christian charity operating the ship had stripped out a rather funky 1970s interior with cosy bars, restaurants and saloons and replaced it with all over wipe-down white formica bulkheads, tables and chairs. I've never seen one of my best friends, who wrote a big coffee table book about the people who originally designed the ship and many others of the era, look quite so downcast as he was during that tour at what they'd done to one of his favourite ships. -

I find myself in Rennes for the afternoon today where the locals have filled the main square on a national day of striking and protest. When looking up what it was they're striking about I learned instead about The Great French Moustache Strike of 1907. -

Took a day-long round trip on the Umea-Vaasa ferry between Sweden and Finland the week before last. It was absolutely freezing - the coldest I've ever been (beating Workington vs Leeds in December '94) but we spent an amazing day crunching between the two countries. -

That Andrew Harris was years ahead of his time - probably too many years. They have the modern equivalent of his brochures here - http://www.visitoldham.com/ (which mentions Kevin Sinfield as one of a list of famous people from the town ) -
