    Has anyone ever had a proper holiday nightmare?? like you see in programmes where the hotel is half built, cockroaches in the room, had their room broken into by the natives.. or indeed been somewhere that you would never recommend anyone ever set foot there.. ??

    I cant say I have been anywhere that I thought was truly **** other than Benidorm in spain where I went for the day whilst on holiday a few years ago.. The place is essentially exactally as it is portrayed in the TV series.

    I got a mate who went on a world tour some years ago, whilst in Tibet he needed a pony and with no public toilets about he unloaded between a couple of bushes next to some statue, turns out this statue was the most sacrid site in Tibet and he was chased through the village to his hotel by hundreds of fuming locals - he was confined to his room for 4 days as groups of people wanted to rip him apart, eventually the police gave him an escort to the airport under the cover of darkness and suggested that he doesn't return to the country....

    Never had any really bad experiences. Did get thrown out of a sex shop in Amsterdam for laughing too much and putting off the other customers. I'd opened an S&M magazine and there was a picture of some bloke with a 2l bottle of coke hanging from his tadger.

    On another trip to the 'dam ran out of money so started taking cash out one of the local bank's cash machines. Got ****ing hammered by my own bank when I got back.

    When me and the good lady got together, we booked a holiday to Cancun.

    On the way in to Mexico, Hurrican So and So was 100 miles away after brushing past the Yukatan Penninsula. When we got to our hotel, it was like hell on Earth. Trees had been felled and all the outdoor furniture was all over the place.

    Luckily a day or two later, the sun was back and the clear up was done and we had a great time. Basically spent 2 weeks shagging, by the time I got home, my 'bone' was throbbing even when flacid. And taking a hard on resulted in pain. <laugh>

    Ah..... the good ol' days.

    My brother was at Derby University so I used to visit. There is a hotel in the city center, it should be called "Suicide House". I found a half empty bottle of vodka in my room. Apparently the place is frequented by whores and their clients. You can read the reviews, quite funny.

    This story was loosely based on Indiana Jones and a carry on film..... I would concur with the other posters in declaring it utter BULLSHIT:angry:

    Sadly not bullshit, made all the more amusing to me and others that knew the individual that his old man was one of the most senior police officers in London at the time, but wasted in here....

    I encountered a woman on a forum who claimed that she was Phil Mickleson's mistress and that she had once been raped by a rocket scientist.

    Peckham Lodge looks great BTW, who would want to stay in Peckham?

    You're gettin me all nostalgic. Odd how you can get nostalgic for memories wiped out by drug abuse.

    True enough. :)

    One thing I do remember is one year missing the flight home, I woke up a mid afternoon on a small beach opposite San An and had to fork out £200 quid to get another plane <grr>
