Yes agreed it's far worse when you're organising it. One year we had a free bar and some of the employees drank themselves silly on £17 cocktails, it ended up with a dispute with the bar manager as he'd deliberately kept taking orders even though this had never been agreed. The drinks bill...
Possibly as bad as Dubai but in a completely different way, I once went to a Soul Weekender at Pontins, Prestatyn. The accommodation would have been better in a prison. On arrival I nearly slipped on a used condom left on the walkway, inside the room was no better. The electric meter used £1...
Another one for Dubai. Only stopped over there for a few days but that was enough. Customs officials all pervs spent ages looking at my teenage daughter. Taxi drivers mostly thieves,clientele of hotel bar 99% hookers, horrible sight of migrant builders shacks and above all surly natives who...
Back in the late 70's maybe early eighties my old man had a property opposite the Linden Club in Waterloo St, above it were some offices that he didn't own that were empty. One morning it looked as if these offices had been broken into and on investigation he found two blokes from special branch...
Once whilst in Frankfurt with a vegetarian colleague in a restaurant we were offered a 'slaughterhouse platter' and the waiter refused to serve the only vegetarian option of sauerkraut and eggs saying it was not German to do so, not to mention dangerous.

Years ago went to the old Valley and stood on the big open terrace, the mate I was collapsed through drinking Woods Rum all morning beforehand and was carried off on a stretcher around the pitch by St John's Ambulance. Halfway round the pitch he stirred, woke up, fell off the stretcher, stumbled...
Quite a few going from Varndean College by the looks of it

I employee a couple of Latvians and it is impossible to find out if they have a previous conviction. I've been told that the criminal records of Latvians are only available on an accessible data base going back for three years and that costs you nearly £200 per person.
Shared a house with a bloke that used to take my underpants out my draw , wear them before finally folding them up and putting them back in the draw the next day. It wasn't a pleasant discovery nor did the share last.
Went to see Barcelona v Almeria a few years ago. The only game I've ever left early. Bought tickets from a booth and sat two rows from the back behind the goal besides a load of American tourists who spent the whole time making paper aeroplanes and launching them towards the bottom tiers. Moved...
