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.


Gets my vote  ;D

Refined Rules after consultation with myself....

Tour Guide Responsibilities

Conduct "educational" activities for the members.


Hmmm...I may have to do some more research...onsite...but it is the off-season so no promises.

Quote
Escort individuals or groups on pub crawls, Karaoke expeditions and other places of interest.


Escort...hell, I expect to be leading with my umbrella in the air!

Quote
Research environmental conditions and client's skill and ability levels at poker, in order to plan games that may be appropriate.


Say what now?

Quote
Provide information about "wildlife" varieties and habitats, as well as any relevant regulations, such as those pertaining to "hunting" and "fishing".


I"m certainly qualified to talk about "fishing"

Quote
Teach skills, such as proper methods for getting up off the floor, getting onto bar stools and demonstrate and advise on the use of equipment.


Not a problem...I"ve found my way out of way too many toilet stalls at 3am.

Quote
Speak foreign languages in order to communicate with "escorts"


Wait..am I escorting or is someone else....oh, wait, I get it...more research for my vocabulary list.

Paulie will be an excellent tour guide. I have no doubt the group entrusted with making this trip will represent APAT in the way APAT would expect to be represented.


apparently we meet up by the statue of a black horse (according to the voucher) do we have to have a rose in the lapel and a copy of tht times under our arm  ;D

How do you know which terminal you are in? If we are in terminal one we have to meet at the Cafe Fiore.

The countdown start tomorrow people !!!

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

Erm...you have a damn sight more faith in me than I do...and I very much doubt if APAT will want to be associated with me after this....I missed Tallinn and I have some making up to do.

Yeah..I can"t remember what time it suggested for me but 8.30am seems about right...I think I"ll enquire at the "desk" or whatever before getting into t"shuttle to Lloret.

Good luck to all travelling to Spain. Let"s have a U.K. winner please. We can"t have Spain winning everthing, can we?

Safe trippings peeps and i hope to see you all next season.

Thanks for your excellent company throughout 2010.

Cheers, Paul M.  Xxx

I"m sure I read somewhere that they will fax the pick-up time to the hotel, 48 hrs prior.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
