The holiday disasters thread (all comers)

All nice and ready like

Can Wenchy post her ‘off sick’ disasters in here? 

[The Moan Ranger]

Kos airport. And in particular, German air passengers to whom the word "queue" (or the Kraut version for it) is an option. Perhaps not a "disaster" as such, but extremely annoying when you have been waiting patiently for two hours...

Mmmmm…. 

You’ll have to do better than that I’m afraid…

  Would food poisoning resulting in uncontrolable anal seepage qualify?

. . . food poisoning. . .

Too late to try and persuade us that you consumed any solids while on holiday.

As Darwin says, the credibility of such a story is rather limited at this stage…

Please God, no evidence

But I think we need evidence that they actually ate anything during their stay before we accept food poisoning… 

Bad pint more likely I should think...

And how, exactly, can I evidence the fact? On two of the nights we went to this place - http://kardamena-kos.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/128/cat/8/page/1 - and the rest of the time we simply gorged ourselves in the hotel.

The waitress in the Avli was from Bournemouth. So there.

Case proved then.

Beyond reasonable doubt…

I'd like to plan ahead in case Nick decided to travel to Sweden at any point..

Having said that you have to wonder what kind of people would go there as a holiday destination?

Its very safe in all those Volvos.

Went camping in Spain in 1992. Both sea-sick, the tent broke after 4 days, Brittany Ferries wouldn't let us take an earlier ferry back, hired a tent which got flooded, ended up staying in a sequence of cheap hotels and B&Bs (one owned by a miserable old cow with a portrait of Franco on the wall and wouldn't let us use her cooker), got sunstroke and my feet sunburnt, food poisoning from a Pizza takeaway in Santander and I couldn't speak a word of the language.

Apart from that, it was great.
