Just remembered our old friend Smittywerben....thingy lives there!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Back home after a 2 day visit to that great centre of metropolitan buzz and hum - Kells."Did you pocket a page of the book?
It was in a glass case. (and it might not have been the actual original. Too many people nicking pages over the years....)
I might have seen him, there was the odd stranger staggering around....

Did it have the telltale signs of a bad photocopy?

Slightly crooked and faded in one corner?
I thought the original Book of Kells was at Trinity College Dublin. I saw it there many years ago. Perhaps that was the fake.
No,that is the original in Trinity, I've seen it too. It looks smaller and less impressive than the copy....

1. “As the owner of a bed and breakfast place for the last eight years, the craziest thing I ever found was an old battered notebook with ‘why I love salad’ written on the front and then literally 40-80 pages on why salad was amazing. It looked like it had been written on and off over the course of several years.”2. “Cats. Cats everywhere. And a $100 tip with a note that said, ‘Thanks for taking care of these guys, be back in a week.’ She didn’t come back.”
3. “I had a guy who said his microwave didn’t work, and I went up to the room and found that he’d locked a plate of food in the safe.”
4. “I checked an empty room left with doors wide open, and on the table was brown bag with over $20,000 cash.”
5. “Ducklings. The guest said the mother duck had died so she had started looking after the ducklings herself. We found them in the lodge bathroom. After that, they were kept in someone’s office until the right people came to collect them.”
6. “These newlyweds wanted a chocolate fountain. Sure, my boss thought, that wouldn’t be too much trouble, right? No, they had to search like hell to find one. After the couples stay, they check out and don’t really say much. When the maid is going to clean the room, she basically goes in and starts laughing. My boss comes into the room, too, and there is chocolate everywhere. You could see her butt cheeks in the bed and on the table and even on the roof. You could make out where they started and where they stopped.”

I've always found it amusing that mini-bars look just like fridges but don't appear to do any refrigerating. After all, who would want chilled peanuts?
So, confession time: who has ever been drunk enough to actually consume something from a mini-bar? And then law-abiding enough to pay for it?

Never used one, but I think the cost’s automatically added to your bill.
I very recently was in a hotel in Greece which had what I assumed was a fridge with complimentary water in it, four small bottles a day. Only when I came to pay the bill did I discover it was in fact a 'mini-bar'. It didn't have anything else in it, just the water, and the cleaning staff must have been keeping count of my water consumption. Nearly went back upstairs to take my tip back.
A bollock dagger or ballock knife is a type of dagger with a distinctively shaped shaft, with two oval swellings at the guard resembling male testes ("bollocks"). The guard is often in one piece with the wooden grip, and reinforced on top with a shaped metal washer.Bollock dagger - Wikipedia

Hotels would charge you for the daylight coming through your windows if they had some way of proving you'd had the curtains open.

My Aunty Syb though was rather shortsighted and must have been plumping up her Pillows every night without realising - and it was only when I came in to change all of her Bedding for fresh on day four of her visit that I found three night's worth of uneaten melted Chocolate smeared all over the brand new and rather expensive Egyptian Cotton Fitted Sheet! ... I never managed to completely get the stain out ;o>
Hmmm? - I wonder if there are any Plastic Storage Bins left to be bought on Amazon.com now that news of this has come out? ;o>

Amazon now adding insult to injury just after shutting down our beloved Forums? I suddenly received this Email a couple of days ago off them ...Hello,
Please read this email carefully. The listing information described below may affect your ability to sell certain products on Amazon.co.uk.

Sincerely,
Like I've said before, Amazon Fucks animals.
What a contrast. I ordered a CD by Steve Ignorant and Slice Of Life, today got a personal email from Steve saying he'll post it tomorrow.
So my Seller Account for the selling on of just the occasional 'Like New' CD on Amazon looks like it is also about to be shut down as well? I thought it was a Spoof Email at first but the Sellers Forum on Amazon sadly confirmed it to be genuine. I've sent Amazon a very polite but distinctly annoyed Email back asking them to clarify as to just how they expect 'to provide a great customer experience' by actively preventing decent and honest Sellers like myself from being able to sell our CDs on Amazon in the future.
I have always prided myself on never selling on anything less than 'Like New' - unlike some of the really big company Sellers who have often had no conscience at all about selling me some very seriously crappy CDs that then got sent straight back for an immediate refund!
My son sent me this:https://www.boredpanda.com/american-b...
I did crack up at Steve's reply to No. 33
I once used the word "fortnight" on the Zon.us forums and a poster told me I "spoke" like a character in Jane Austen!

Everyone went to bed hours ago here, Val, so I only managed to read up to number 18 before I was laughing so much that I just had to stop in case I woke anyone up! - LOL!!!
I'll save the rest to read tomorrow ... ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>
That was brilliant!
