Gas getting a wee bit over-excited at the prospect of a priest thrusting his weapon of ass destruction into his and his wife's trembling farters.
All this reminds me of what could have been (another ???) unfortunate experience. In around 1980 I went to Seefeld en Tirol in the Austrian Tyrol with a bunch of males and females from Leith. A few years earlier the resort had hosted a couple of events during the Innsbruck Winter Olympics and had built a swimimg pool and indoor/outdoor sports complex. One day to clear the booze out of my system I thought I would have a go in the sauna. After ten minutes or so sitting starkers in walked two statuesque German speaking Katrin Krabbe type blond burdz; man they were f****n' gorgeous! Fortunately I was in no state to show my appreciation for their company. Every so often, after a few whispered comments in German, they would start laughing. You gotta be helluva confident not too think you were the butt of their humour; insecure moi! Anyway, thank f**k I was not, at that time, a frequenter of Scorpio, Blair Street or any other of Edinburgh's finest rest and recuperation parlours or I might have been arrested for propositioning one of them with a few hundred Schillings for a blow job. Funny old world, innit! If you can imagine two six foot bints similar to the image below you will appreciate my quandary from many years ago.
I went there on a school trip in the late 1980s. We went for a trip into the Austrian alps and went swimming in temperatures in the high 70s surrounded by snow. Got sunburnt. You're starting to freak me out.
I remember returning on a tour years later and being pished at lunchtime. To clear my head I thought I would have a swim in the lake. F**k me, despite it being around 80 degrees, the water was f****n' freezin' .... think my hee-haws ended up in my tummy. Nice place; took my Mum there a couple of times. She loved it however both of us preferred Mittenwald which was just over the border into Bavaria. This smashing wee town had the added attraction of being virtually unknown to 'Brits' so suited Flo and I down to the ground. Too many of the 'pubs' in S'd en T'l were geared to British tourists whereas in M'wald it was Bavaria/Germany all the way; great times! I am going back to Mittenwald in January for a bit of fun'n'games. My trip is bookended by one night in Munich at the start and two nights in Munich at the end of my holiday. I intend being pished outta ma bonce for the first five days of my eight night trip however who knows!
Pleasant and very helpful 'Polizei' in the Hauptbahnhof (Hbf.) when you lose your passport (twice). Nice and rather attractive wee lassie from Leith works in the British Consulate on Mohlstrasse. She was however a touch perturbed to see me for a second time within three years! Great conversation about Kenny Dalglish with the guy in the travel agent in the Hbf. where (both times) I had to shell out plenty for flights home to Auld Reekie. Will not give you all the usual crap about the various and many Weissbier outlets in this f****n' magnificent city!
This jibber-jabber seems to have dried up here so, as I reside in Edinburgh, my quandary is (very) loosely relevant. I am going on a booze driven trip to Bavaria in January 2019. I am staying in a charming guest house (Gastatte) in Mittenwald in the Alps for five nights however before hitting the mountains I have booked one night in Munich before catching the train to Oberbayern and have also booked two nights for my hungover return to Munich. The 'Munchen' stays have been booked directly through the website of the hotel. As you get a good deal if you pay up front with the penalty 'use or lose' I chose this option. I have received confirmarion e-mails of my reservations which correctly include the details of the card used to pay. The booking was made at the start of June and to date there has been no charge on the card. I have come to realise that my co-respondents here are a fine bunch of upright, honest and law abiding fellows (and Tina) with some minor problems which, in isolation, does not make any of you bad people. To the crux; should I e-mail the Munchen dosshouse and inform them that I have not yet been charged or should I just keep schtum and see what way the wind blows. Here is a small fact of a past stay in the same hotel which should not influence your advice; the bast*rds charged me for the cleaning a sheet and duvet cover after I had an unfortunate accident with a local burd who kindly shared the benefits of an overnight 4 star stay in BK's room.
Could be however when I have followed this method in the past with the Accor (Ibis, Mercure and others) Hotel chain, bookings through Expedia, my intended hotel in Munich and other direct hotel bookings they charge your card immediately. In effect you are paying a 100% deposit.
Well, ****ing email them and ask. How are some random zoomers on an obscure website going to know the answer? Gambol can barely dress himself for **** sake and ER doesn't even know what century it is. ****'s still cutting about in dungarees and platform shoes.
If I f****n' send them a f****n' e-mail I WILL be charged. If I keep my f****n' trap shut I might get away with three nights in an upmarket dosshouse for sweet-f**k-all! I will never descry a chap for his inability to dress themself, particularly when drink has been taken and you fancy a wee bourbon or two at 03.53, after a heavy 'day' on Kentucky's finest. Many failed attempts have resulted in me hitting the closest 24 hour rub-a-dub in my jammies! Do not attempt this if on holiday during an Alpine winter!
Come On Eileen!! Read a good book yesterday actually. "Clifftop Tragedy" by Eileen Dover. .....and there's more....
