She kicked me out because CCT hadn't passed on details of my extra night's stay and despite me having my confirmation letter stating how many nights I had paid for, she he would not listen. What a cow! here's something to amuse you all re: Eileen 'Downer' as we all know she's no loner in charge of the Adelphi - did Britannia Hotels sack for attitude towards staff and customers? (& playing impossible games of hide & seek with sofas and teaspoons) NOPE they made her head of the hotel groups HR Department! Some hotel chains actually use the BBC's 1997 docusoap Hotel as training videos on how not to do it.

they made her head of the hotel groups HR Department! You are kidding!!!!! She has absolutely no people skills whatsoever. When I was showing her my booking confirmation form, she continued to argue the toss and ended up shouting "just go will you" at me in the reception area where there were loads of people checking out. I wrote to Britannia head office but they just passed the letter back to Eilleen Downey for her to deal with. The response I got back from her was absolutely laughable - as if it had been written by an illiterate. I still have the letter - it is so bad it's actually funny!

¡Gracias! I remember when you took this photo, thanks God it was only our second Pimm´s. The following day we learnt to pronounce properly "Pimm´s"; our Spanish "P" is very close for you to "B", so we spent all the whole Beatle Week asking for "a couple of beans, please". I wonder if you will be so nice as to send it to my e-mail

Hola Al We only slept our ordinary 10hours per day plus siesta, je, je. No, it´s a joke, Aran was very tired because she had just started her holidays and I had been travelling all the whole summer, so we where exhausted. By the way, it´s almost siesta time Adiooooos

Hola,just a few words to thank you all for your kidness last Beatle Week, specially to Rob, Liverpool best ambassador. Aw, thank-you very much, it was my pleasure. By the way, has anybody a photo of us? I did have some photos of you and other people/events of IBW09, but it appears that my camera has finally died... "Knackered" as The Tearaways say, it may have corrupted the memory card, resulting in the loss of pics from IBW and other things, including pictures of my kids :-(

what happened to the Shouts from Argentina who have missed the last two years. The Shouts pulled out at the last minute last year due to problems with flights. I don't know why they did not play this year, although lots of new bands played to quote Bill Heckle "To give others a chance." The Brits from Chile who were very good, about three years ago Sorry, I've not heard of these, the only band at IBW that I've seen from Chile were 'Band On The Run'.

Re: The Brits - for Nowhere Man
they played back in 2006 - the year of Las Bestias, Shouts & Nube9 first appearance. So I think its safe to say the Argentine contingent somewhat overshadowed the Chilli offering.
I think by the nature of the sign in the Adelphi lounge during BW08 the Shouts will be in the CCT dog house for a little while yet.

When I spoke to Bill Heckle last year about The Shouts not appearing, he was un-fazed by it and said he would be happy to have them back and that he understood the situation, being diplomatic perhaps, who knows. Anyway, I for one would like to see The Shouts return.
