Heh Heh Lady Kat. Anyway, for all of you just itching to know: the money was indeed taken from the room as arranged. And, in case the cynics were wondering, nothing else was missing;-). Now we just have to wait until Wednesday for the receipt to make an appearance.

Oh, I realise that SP...I still think it was a nice idea to offer it up for borrowing though... Anyway, you prompted me to look the man up. Gosh, there's lots on the net (including a youtube clip of his last moments - very sad). But, did you know that a film may be made about his life? Click here.

Oh - sorry Sandperson...twas a lovely offer...it just doesn't sound like my cup of tea, that's all. No offence intended. If it had been about his whole life, I would have considered reading it - it would have got me off this forum (haven't read a book for AGES because all my spare time is spent on here LOL). But a book surrounding his death? hmmmm....Is it a big book or a little book?

Sounds interesting...but not a touch morbid?

Is it a biography?

I'd never heard of him until this thread. The only famous cyclist I really know of is this guy.:-S

*jumps about excitedly* OMG, I tapped his name into the DHFC website and his picture came up. I've seen him play!!! End of last year!! He WAS good too. Pity he's leaving. Thanks for that Mockers - really decent of you. x Everyone else: carry on arguing...I'm off for a while...

CYNIC! But, very funny.

They'd kill each other...but perhaps that's your intention?

I don't think much of the properties of your net curtain. One can usually see through nets. What are you made of: hessian? As far as I can make out, this looks like livestock: a herd of COWS to be precise. And you almost had me too... Tutt tutt...

And I was trying SO hard! I was hoping to keep this space all to myself too. But perhaps it could become a glorious space for all things MAN. U. HA HA HA HA HA MAN U MAN U MAN U

Still not here :'(

Blimey brum, that IS an ingenious idea...and yes, it IS a bit late!!! LOL! But thanks. x But then, I think hubby takes his laptop etc. to work. And even if he didn't, coming from the distrustful and cautious camp, he'd have probably locked it in his suitcase and then hidden the suitcase under the bed - or something.

Yeah!

I love Man. U. I do. I really really do. MAN U MAN U MAN U :))

And what on earth did a white tailed deer have to do with anything pray tell? (Yeah - had to look up Odocoileus virginianus - thought it might have been something rude).

LOL Ms. Curtain. And...erm...it's Lord Muck - to you!

Thank you LB, full of common sense and good advice as always. Well, had a very, very long discussion with hubby last night and we are going to go for it. BUT, with a number of risk management measures in place. - Hubby emailed them vis a vis a precise day for the "collection" by the cleaner (today) - so dosh on table (as per instructions) as I type. Apparently, a receipt will appear on the desk on Wednesday. - He has left sufficient cash for only one week. - He has emailed them to inform them that the cash has been left as per their instructions. Unfortunately it is too late to ask any local for their opinion(s). Also, remaining in the room in the hope of catching the cleaner is out of the question (this is a new job - no opportunity to skive off). Hubby wasn't keen to ask about any consequences should the money go missing (he thought this might provoke...). So there you have it. One thing that warms my heart though, is that the majority of you believe we should go for it - albeit with some damage limitation measures in place. Personally, paying the cash over makes me happier: I just didn't feel comfortable about (effectively) criminalising the hotel owners. It is a risk, there is no doubt. However, I'd like to thank ALL of you who contributed to this thread: I really was beside myself as to what we should do. You have all been of enormous help (even you, A. Curtain, for lightening up the thread and making me laugh). Thank you. We shall know more on Wednesday. So, how about placing your bets Ladies and Gents (may as well have some fun now!). Will the receipt be there on Wednesday? I'm going for a: Yes. Nervous hubby - not sure

Ting! Pea-brain has finally grasped the situation correctly. Phew, that was hard work! BUT now, the whole thing doesn't make any sense, because - it seems - we can all ditch our TVs and watch programmes (albeit slightly later than the live broadcast) on a computer/phone etc. without having to purchase a Licence. *scratches head*

Oh this really is TOO much for my pea-brain! So: live (whatever medium) = dosh Iplayer = free Have I got that right?

Run Leprechaun, run...

Ahem... She won't think twice about sending a Leprechaun to the Tower you know.;-)
