Wot next?
« on: September 10, 2008, 08:36:52 AM »
The chap that cleans our room is, to be charitable, mental.

I did the usual and left a five quid tip on the first day - this is a lot for them.

Since then, every time we return to the room, we have a (nice) little surprise - a bowl of fresh fruit, a half bottle of champers in an ice bucket, chocolates, flowers and a towel sculpture of a swan which was placed on the bed reading the copy of Fast Bikes I brought over.

I'm expecting an ice sculpture next...

I turn the aircon off when we go out. When we came back last night, it was on and the room was a lovely cool 18 degrees.

All care of Mahmood, the mad menial.

He likes English football and is a Man Utd fan, so I have left the sport pages of the Torygraph for him to read through (he speaks excellent english).

Coming soon - the tale of the sick dove that Mrs TMR (to be) wanted to bring up to the room and nurse back to health...

Are you familiar with the term "grooming"?

Mahmood either wants to whisk Mrs TMR away to the desert for his pleasure or for you to sneak a large bag of "special sherbet" into the UK for his homesick cousin.  noooo:

It is an extension of my obsession with decorative napkin folding.  redface:

A masterpiece! Four towels making a camel. This time reading the Top Gear magazine, opened on the Jeremy Clarkson column. The sports bit of the Torygraph now has annotations above the picture of Rooney, saying "fattie sheit". Genius.

If we introduced Olympic towel folding he could go for Gold.

(Any chance of some pics?)

I've taken some on the BlackBerry, but can't seem to post them. I will work on it. This morning he showed me videos of his nine year old son playing football, which he had recorded on his phone.

The lad looks good. I'll see if I can get him signed up for Millwall.

Further to my earlier post, beware if he asks you to take back a number of videos of young boys for his cousin in the UK as well.  noooo:

I have told him that a Turnip farmer in England has suspicions. He asked "what ares turnip". I got a picture up on Google. He shrieked with laughter and said "camel cock"!

I nearly dropped the BlackBerry.
