Two weeks today I shall be waking up in the annex, with tea made for me, then a leisurely breakfast on the terrace of the main house, a swim, then off to the supermarket to pick up lots of goodies to eat. cloud9:
Then sunbathing by the pool, tea and biscuits brought down to the pool by Mother Wench at 3pm, more swimming and sunbathing, cocktails will arrive at 5pm, prawns for dinner. cloud9:

Hi ya Wenchy smile:
Seriously recommend lotion P20 - although they have recently changed the formula (used to be 90 mins before it was active now its 15 mins only but it pongs a bit more when you put it on) it is fantastic and is the only sun protection lotion potion we use over here ;)
Also it really is (provided you are sensible of course) a one application a day'er not like the other stuff which floats off you the moment you dive in the pool or sea cussing:

Excellent! Thanks LL! Will go and hunt some out! Although of course I do have an unhealthy addiction to coconut oil. redface:

OK OK ~ Much married man understands that ladies shave their legs and pits but surely that is not a major item during a holiday. A waxing before you go takes care of two weeks ~ at least that has been my experience with wives and daughters. And even in Spain you can buy a Bic disposable for a few cents if you are desperate. Nobody needs to carry the kit with them.

Plus the horrid thought that I might bump into people I went to school with. I spend a lot of time trying to avoid that while I am there.

That I can also understand ~ though having not seen any of them since 1963 I doubt that we would recognise one another.

None of us have changed that much. I am quite happy chatting with them on facebook but I don't want to get dragged to beach parties/drinks/clubbing.
There are a select few who I do see but they know I don't do clubbing anymore.

OH, about Center Parcs (apologies for that aberration) wrote:-
Let me explain to you the concept of this weird Dutch inspired Portmeirion .
I was asked by my partner if we could take the kids away at Whitsun all together and for the best part of a week. Now usually this involves a lot of umming and ahhing from me, the rental of a large camper van and copious amounts of shouting.
“No, no” she said. “Center Parcs. It’s lovely” (remember, she loves Ken Livingsnake)
I’ve never been to Center Parcs based on the fact that I try to avoid people wherever and when ever possible. I hate nearly everyone and the chances of me striking up a bon amie with anyone are smaller than Simon Cowell’s cock. Especially as I had in my mind the vision of the type of people who spend hard earned cash wandering around on bicycles and eating Muesli bars all day.
Ok, four days booked. Bargain. £1500 crisp Earth pounds gone and I’m looking forward to er….what exactly?
£1500 gets you in the gate, so I reckoned the place should be full of Swedish porn stars or money growing on trees or something because I can rent a effing villa in Tuscany for a fortnight for less than that.
We arrive at our “villa” having waited in a car park for three hours. My “cuntometer” was in overload as the place was full of MPV’s with bike racks and Rover saloons with National Trust stickers. An odd combination you might think. Indulge me, it was entirely logical.
Back to the Villa. It isn’t a villa. It is what architects (who now live in thatched cottages in pretty Oxfordshire villages) thought poor people would live in after their slums were demolished. Single story SHITE from the 1970’s, grey walls, industrial carpet, pink bathroom furniture. Picture Eastern Germany before the wall came down. Still, my kids can usually demolish anywhere in ten minutes and the world really wasn’t going to miss this place if they did, so it’s off to “the village” to check out what makes this place tick.
What makes this place tick is ugly, pig effing families with young children, poor as church effing mice because they have spent every penny they have on mortgages for “executive” Barrett houses being treated to a week away by their recently retired parents who are happily picking up the tab in the knowledge that they still own their kids financially. Hence the MPV's and the Rovers.
Not many nylon football shirted tattooed “Rickys” but plenty of Pilates stretched yummy mummies. Blokes all look like low level managers thinking they are a bit like Andy McNabb dressed from head to toe in North Face fleeces and backpacks. Lower middle class tossers who might have a BMW on the drive but work 18 hours a day just to cover the bills.
The only upper class people there were pushing their Downs Syndrome children around bewildered ducks because they left breeding until their late forties and then married their second cousins. Result = mongs.
What the **** do I care? There are lakes and I have my fishing rods. I can **** off and leave everyone to it for a couple of days, resurface at the end and drive the ungrateful bastards home again.
Except you can’t.
Center Parcs want your money. They’ve already got a effing great wedge to let you in and now they want everything you own or will ever own
It comes down to “activities” you see. Long gone are the days when you said to your kids “**** off and play, you XXXXX. See you back here at 6pm or you don’t get fed”. Oh no. Center Parcs can pamper your little Waynes and Keighlies luike no other.
Even a walk in the country has to be paid for. Family tickets available. View of squirrel, £7 each, no photos. Breath of fresh air, £4. Moving about £8, sit on bench £1.50.
They could bankrupt a millionaire. Every effing single thing you can do costs extra and I do mean extra. They have sold concessions to Starbucks who have decided to laugh in the face of the consumer and sell £5 coffees. And the XXXXX queue round the block.
I barricaded myself in my H block cell and stayed there. It still drained another £1000 out of me in food, bog paper, booze and “gifts”.
And it pissed down all week. I am NEVER going back. I suggest that these places be used to put all kids with ASBO’s instead.
Bastards

OH is playing to his usual gallery ~ take no notice. We have been to similar in Holland on several occasions. Like all things you get what you pay for and enjoy it if you are prepared to. If you go determined to find fault then you will. I have stayed at the Dorchester and frankly found it wanting.

The space he occupied probably.

True, Snoops, but I dare say the ones in Holland are considerably better than the ones over here.
And I believe it was you who wondered whether he is turning into Golden Virginia. point:
Personally, never been to one, but my brother has and thoroughly enjoyed it. And he's a right fussy bastard.

I've been there loads of times; the one in Norfolk and the one in the west country. The circumstances were somewhat different ~ it was in the early days and I worked with a company promoting them. In their low season we used to get £50 deals for the weekend and one of the exec villas. Take all your own food, the onsite shop will be pricey and limited in its range. Enjoy the water slides, take push bikes if you can rather than rent them. Relax in the forest with a good book when the boy's been put to bed. ;D

The coffee was crap, the breakfast poorly presented, not hot and the eggs were undercooked (whilst I like "sunny side up" I do not like "snotty" fried eggs). At dinner I returned my steak twice as, although I like it rare, I do like it hot and not frozen in the middle. The bath was dirty and they failed to provide the booked early call.
-
Other than that, it was fine then?
-
lol:
I expect Snoops had his 'publican's / catering' hat on.
-
Be fair the the Dorchester though - if a cantankerous canine orders steak, no wonder they left it raw. Same with the eggs. I certainly don't remember my Beagle turning his nose up at raw eggs or frosty steak. And how on earth is a quarrelsome quadruped meant to define good or bad coffee?
Same goes for the dirty bath - they thought he would be used to it.
These hounds are getting above themselves these days...

And as for the early morning call...doubtless you were cocking your leg at the side of the bed when they called...
They normally leave a mint chocolate on the pillow - did thet leave you a mint Bonio?

Hounds are renowned for leaving chocolates on the floor... ;)

Sorry - I'm in a silly mood and a bit de-mob happy.
My grandfather (mothers side) was a Doorman at the Dorchester in his dotage. He was a right miserable so-and-so. Probably had the eggs...

I read somewhere that the doormen at such places had to buy their positions. No wages but they lived on the tips. Don't know how true that was. All bloody Arabs now of course.

I have been sent a joke via text...not sure whether to post it or not..about Muslims...

Re: the Dorchester, there's also the story that after the Sultan of Brunei bought it there were little green arrows applied to the ceilings of each room... pointing East, for the observant. Bums to the West, brothers eeek:

I will post it - delete if you think it's too near the knuckle. Or let BM burn, it matters not!

I suspect it may have been the same one I got this morning ref a rough neighbourhood. For once, I didn't forward this one on
