APAT Advent Calendar

And behind door number 9 is............................




The Orange Wings Hotel, Wiener Neustadt

What a fantastic establishment that housed a number of APATers during the European Amateur Championships in March 2008.  I"ll leave it to Tighty to take up the story.......

Des and Tighty do Vienna

So its 2am. One of us is frisky and up for action. One of us is longing for bed, horlicks and an early morning

We decide to take a cab back to Guantanamo Hotel as Des needs to drop his bags off

We arrive but the automated check in service has been smashed. Des gets on the blower and tries to explain to random Austrian that has a room booked and can they please send someone to fix the machine

Random drunken Scousers also have same problem,only louder and more slurred

we wait in sub arctic temperatures for the man to arrive. I have a room but decide it is politic to stay with Des

taxi arrives. drunk fella tries to hit cabbie. goes up to his room having refused to pay fare

5 minutes later police arrive. cabbie points at des. I swear des looked at me immediately. austrian police, revolvers holstered come up to talk to us. we explain the room problem. they look at smashed screen and ask to see our passports

hotel man arrives., insists I do not have a room booked despite me showing him my key

police question us about the cabbie assault, the hotel screen

we give description of the passenger. About to draw photofit of Kinboshi when suddenly they chan ge tack when they notice that Scouser has fallen asleep on floor by us and is sleep talking incomprehensibly

Police say I can go to bed. Didnt have the heart to explain that actually I had my eyes on Sonia with the tassels at the cat club and please could I have a lift?

Des gets to his room, minus key, at 5am

down to reception at 12pm to find it deserted with a piece of paper pinned to the desk with Des and my passport numbers, addresses and phone numbers

just online translated the note at the bottom

"these English men think they have rooms booked but I do not think so. Please question them"

Wish us luck tonight!!

I seem to remember that story that Stuart told went on a little longer..... I think you got off lightly, mate, due to some judicious editing by Des

I suspect we could get a Christmas Special Boxed Set to be honest

The Duke

Every night, whilst others sleep, The Duke is busy researching the world wide web (as seen above) to bring you the next "thought for today" for you to read in the morning.

Meticulous in his thirst for knowledge and wisdom, he has occasionally been known to stumble across the odd "unofficial" smiley aswell.

But we are eternally grateful for the provocation of thought brought about by his thread.

Thought for today


This advent door was brought to you in association with Chezger, for all you pre-christmas poker needs.  Alcohol provided, bouncy castle on request.
