    Surely Sexburga would have been more apposite?

    I've been told that apart from having "stage names" the guys also have other nicknames given to them by their friends and family.

    It's a bonding mechanism.

    If, for example, you join a football team in Australia, the first thing your team mates do is come up with a nickname. I was told this by a former star football player I once met at a party. His nickname was "the rat". He said he had earned a reputation as a womaniser whilst working is way up through the junior leagues. He was into women like a rat up a drainpipe.

    Drainpipe? I seem to recall that it was once called a vagina.

    I've checked some of the booking agencies (Agoda etc) and they aren't taking reservations.

    The hotel is open. It appeared to be serving breakfast this morning.

    At night the restaurant and showbar are both closed, for a week already.

    One lad I know vaguely was my waiter for dinner eight nights ago, and was last night dancing gogo!
    ..........and that's the way it is.

    You’re right, I tried a few and they all said “no availability”, well in to next year.

    It’s serious if they are refusing bookings on the eve of “High Season”.

    I get the feeling they are collecting the money from current bookings and when that dries up the parasites will move in.
