Re: APAT European Amateur Championship 2008 - Live Update - Day Two
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!!
