I would like to thank Connie and Keith for all their help in finding me a lovely flat on the west bank for the new year. The flat was very spacious, clean and very reasonably priced so once again a great big THANK YOU.
You too DVC. They sorted one for us from 9th to 23rd Jan and it was excellent. Perfectly located 5 mins from the ferry and you could walk the other way along the side of the Nile and find peace and quiet and a sandy beach!
I believe Q and her family are using it later this year.
Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Somewhere along the way my original point got missed. What I wanted to know was WHY this thread has been a Sticky for 5 years when it has been completely dormant all this time. I was not intending to suggest that it had only recently been awarded Sticky status. But somehow I seem to have started up an interesting and enlightening discussion. :be:

Strange Brian, its seem to me that's what you was refering to, like you said "is given sticky status 5 years later", NOT its been a sticky for 5 years or still a sticky after 5 years.
Brian Yare wrote:is given Sticky status 5 years later beggars belief!
And again what was the "self-promational" bit about ? Self Promotional is something I would have promoted myself, but you can clearly see that the posts were made by genuine forum members (not me) who have rented flats.
Come on Brian admit it, we all do it sometimes (ask A-Four) you was on the bottle last night
"Self-promotional". Who was it that declared this thread to be "Sticky". It doesn't take a bottle of pop to see that it must have been the moderator of this section. Or someone even more senior in the hierarchy of the forum.
On the bottle? I'm a great believer that breast is best.
I confirm that I made this post have a sticky many years ago. (The world has moved on since then)
Keith and I had worked hard at setting up the Agency and it was a genuine note of thanks. As Wills said, she had also booked flats through us and was equally satisfied, therefore it was appropriate to make the post a sticky as it was drawing the service to people's attention. That has not changed.
Also, Keith made it clear from the day that the site was set up that it was a commerical site that had to pay its way. So, self-promotion or not, keith can do what he likes. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
In this case he is innocent. As co-owner at the time, it was me that made the decision to put the sticky on it and I take the blame.
Thank you, Connie, for admitting to being the perpetrator of the sticky. I feel better knowing that it was not Keefy himself. Maybe now the thread will go quiet for another 5 years.
As to whether this topic was given a sticky status is not of importance, what is of importance is not reading the post date and nearly having a heart attack thinking that Keefy and Connie had got back together. Then nearly having another heart attack thinking that the long lost Teddyboy had made a come back.
Life is your's to do with as you wish- do not let other's try to control it for you. Count Dusak- 1345.

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to finally be able to visit Luxor again and would love to bring my daughter to stay in the flat I lived in many years ago. We rented it through Keefy and Connie and just loved...

We packed it in a few years ago
Does that mean that if I happen to mention my blog or tourist apartment in a post, it won't be refused; like it used to be?
