Sporting clichés are generally stupid, though the most idiotic is “competiton for places has improved his performance”

Out of interest, you don't think Hennessey's has improved for that reason?

Obviously not. Hennessey isn’t the world’s greatest keeper but suggesting he has improved because of competition is basically calling him unprofessional and lazy because it is suggesting he simply couldn't be arsed to improve before because he didn’t have to, because no one was going to take his place.

I would imagine it is down to better coaching, better defence etc.

On day one I reckon I wandered around for about 10 minutes looking for somewhere to park the family and was met with towel covered loungers but nobody on them. So I selected a decent location, waited a further 10 minutes and then shifted all the gear from a few loungers and set us up. We mucked around by the pool & had lunch by the pool all morning and afternoon. Then at around 1500hrs a northern bloke approaches me and asks if I took their sun loungers. Yes mate, at about 1000hrs and I've been here since. He looked like he was going to protest but I think it dawned on him how selfish he had been, so he picked up his pile of towels and wandered off.
From that day onwards I would sometimes head over to the pool at around 8 and shift all the towels that had been 'reserved' before heading over to breakfast. It created numerous arguments around the place but amused me no end.

Just at the point she was identifying herself the phone went dead. I have no idea who it was but I am thankful to her for giving me that buzz of excitement and reassurance when coming home and seeing the flashing light, that someone, somewhere had been thinking of me.

Or just chuck it in the pool.

Its rubbish but literally everyone does it everywhere you go. Has to be a better solution. Currently its (in most places) 6-8 time frame - Its a total walk of shame. Sunglasses on - Don't look anyone in the eye, head down, no room for error and quick sprint back to the room where your wife and kid are snoring away.

After abiut 40 minutes of ****wits trying to fob me off I told them I would put it all over the internet and constantly spam their facebook page with it, they decided they could actually open the ******* till and return my money.

The previous gig I did book with them was also cancelled and I did go to Bangkok as they said. After 2 months they still hadnt recredited my account after a further 2 weeks of calling them several times a day they fianally repaid it.
