A Hotel Room

Accommodation is an essential part of any APAT weekend and the logical thing to do is find someone to room with and share the costs (+ev).  It seems a simple decision, who to room with and where to book, but, get this wrong and it can have a huge impact on how your weekend may go.

Take this scenario for example that happened whilst at the APAT Scottish National Championships.  For ease, let"s call the two individuals involved Brian and Steve.  

Steve takes up the story...........

My travelling companion, Brian Yates, and I were sharing a room at a small B&B about a mile from the casino. We had one set of keys which opened the front door and the bedroom door. Brian who wasn"t feeling so good left the casino early evening, and suggested I call him when I arrived back at the B&B so he could let me in. At around 11.30, feeling dead tired, I trudged the mile walk along the Glasgow Road and rang Brian"s mobile....... the conversation was along the lines of:

Brian "Hello"
Steve "It"s me. Let me in please"
Brian "I"ll throw the keys out of the window"
Steve "Don"t be a t&@t - just come and let me in the door"
Skylight window opens and Brian appears...
Brian "Here you go - catch"
Steve "Make sure you throw them far enough - mind the gutter"
Brian "Oops, they landed in the gutter"
Steve "Daft t&@t"
Brian "Sorry mate"
Steve "It"s raining, cold, and I can"t get in"

A mile in the rain to get back to the casino to find Paul McGuinness (he was staying in the same B&B). Waited til 2am for close of play and walked back with Paul. Another mile!

It was an interesting conversation next morning when Brian had to ask the old boy who owned the B&B for a ladder to get on his roof!!





Every APAT weekend seems to have an accomodation story of some sort.  Whether it"s the Orange Wings in Vienna, The Fitzwilliam Townhouse in Dublin or whatever went on with the Scottish and Irish teams in Brighton.  Most are probably not fit for a public forum.

So make your choice wisely, and if you need help, you can always try

lol, had to chuckle at that, well up to the mention of Orange Wings anyway.    

APAT weekends often take people into a strange twilight zone.  In Luton last week, I arrived back at the hotel at 4.30am to find my key card would not work on my door.  So I headed back to the lift on the 2nd floor on my way to reception, only to pass Tony Trippier heading the other way.  "Hi Des", "Hi Tony" - lol, 4.30am on a strange square of land, not another soul in sight and it all seemed completely normal.

ps - BCPC trying to take over Luton as well...lol

Oi!  Was the one and only time I"ve ever done a room share.  It was my duty to show appreciation for the last minute acceptance of a female in a room with 3 Lads.  What better way to show appreciation than to drag him by his toes (kicking and screaming) to the nearest strip club?  In all fairness...chicka was just trying to be one of the Lads.
