My guess is the vast majority of us will be splashing back the cervezas in the bar at the Excelsior...it"s where most of us are staying.

There or in the casino.

I will definitely be in the bar and probably a little slurry by then so will get my apologies in ahead as I have a very bad habit of speaking english slighty louder and slower with a daft foreign accent when abroad. Well even worse than my usual accent anyway. Bring it on!

Not being used to democracy (see Chezger) this is foreign territory (sic). However, I propose that we install a tour guide for every overseas jaunt we undertake in the name of APAT. I think we need a strong hand at the tiller to keep the drunken rabble in line.

Therefore hands up for Paulie to be the "Tour Leader" for Lloret de Mar. He is highly qualified.

He knows the travel industry inside out (only one little boat trip hiccup we will overlook)

He drinks like a fish (handy for social planning and extra curriculum activities)

He is fluent in most European Languages (at least knows enough to get by in the more classy establishments)

More importantly he is a great bloke.

Opinions or objections ?

Well, that"s damned decent of you.

I"m fluent in, English (as she is spoke in the better UK establishments), gibberish, ****** and rubbish. I do know the words for Beer,  Guinness, Whiskey and Water in the major EU languages..is that enough?

More importantly he is a great bloke.


I bask in the warmth of this comment.

I accept the nomination on the strict understanding that I bear no responsibility for anyone except myself, blame for any miscommunnications or unexpected side trips and fully expect to be shipped 5 euro notes under the table at every opportunity.
