paging ToG - 2005 Spring French Run

1. Is there still room for three people?
2. Is anybody else likely to arrive with teenage kids? I'm thinking of
bringing SO and her daughter aged 14 [1] on a trike.

[1] Calm down! She's too old to barbiQ and her Mum is a killer!

 

Bob Mc emerged from their own little world to say

he's left the building - see "Sabbatical Time" thread

You never said anything about bringing the mother as well. Are you
sure she's up to it?

 

Yeah. I just saw it.
Who's deputy?

 

Who: girl up to mother?
Mother up to girl?
Mother up to trike ride?
Me up to both at once (VBG) ?
.......

That's why a trike.

Is SO likely to get arsey about people saying "**** and "****" in the
presence of said 14 year old?

Because there's a fighting chance someone will....

Nee.
They don't speak (much) English.
¦o}
Nee anyway.
And the girl swears more than I do.

 

Racing certainty I'd have thought.

That's just the sort of thing a fucking **** like you would say.

Oops...

[off swearing]

I don't really know why but that has me giggling inanely, I've just
started my second pint of the evening so it's not the booze.

 

<snip>

This is all very interesting and entertaining but
it doesn't actually answer my original question:
Is there still room?

Who can tell me?

 

Radical thought here: you could try e-mailing the old gimmer.

 

and wait for him to return from his ski-ing trip to reply.

 

Ah.

 

IIRC it's a big enough hotel that there should be space., Try
contacting them direct (google for its name).

Bad Idea, IWHT. I'd leave it to TOG when he gets back, or you're going
to (a) confuse the issue and (b) not get the same rate on hotel and
ferry as the rest of the group.

Of course, if you get it cheaper, we'll kill the ****...

Naah, he's happy for those of us on thios side of the pond to sort it
out for ourselves.

Hardly. The hotel won't care if he's with the same group or not.

I'm not sure if TOG's got a better rate organised or not - I did ask
at one point but he didn't reply to that point. In any event, French
hotels tend to have strictly controlled room rates, usually to be
found stuck on the back of each door. If I can make it this is how
I'll be planning to book it. No point in confusing the issue by trying
to get TOG involved, with cash/checque transfer issues, etc. etc.

He's not going to need a ferry, YTC.

Heh.

Ah. Yes. I was wondering who would spot my deliberate mistake. Well done
Pike!
