What a long day so far, starting with the dreaded cat farce, he not only despises his carry box, he projectile urinates over 60ft, fully directional when stressed, I only wish super soaker was this accurate and deadly! But surprisingly this morning Mr Spike went quietly and we were able remove our protective clothing intact (picture two grown adults in Hazmat suits and that is close to the vision that is putting spike into his box).
Mrs Fogg went off to work for a jolly, leaving me to sort everything else as usual (anyone got a violin?).
The trip down was long and uneventful (sorry Bartys we weren’t able to stop off, but we will drop Aitch’s Gameboy in on the way back).
No Garmin Satnav this time, instead using the ultracool Navigon on my oh so cool ifone (or if you are from Newcastle Why ifone, sorry), straight to the front door of the hotel, perfick.
Booking in, now not that we are awkward customers (but we are), leaving the car parked at the hotel requires you to write all your details on a sheet of paper plonked on the front desk for anyone to view (car reg, room number, name, address and how long you are leaving it there), I don’t think so, poor girl went white when Mrs Fogg started on her about security implications.
On then to our room, right at the other end of the hotel and up 2 floors (that’ll teach us to argue), door duly opened, room fully occupied, starkers bloke in the bog, nice! Off we trundle to reception. Is everything ok sir, err no there is someone in that room, oh well there shouldn’t be, are you sure, err yup, well it should be empty, well it ain’t, but it should, well it ain’t, are you sure it is occupied, yup, but it should be empty! Well it AIN’T. I would like another room please, without occupant, empty, not full, no-one in it, FREE of a person or persons.
So here we are in an empty room, let’s see who comes knocking on the door when they give out our room key.
Tomorrow, the joy of airports and the silly plastic bags, removing every item of clothing and cavity searches and that is just to get into McDonalds!
