Haha, thanks for that.
I've got one living in the b pillar of my ute, perhaps one of you big manly types could come and dispose of it for me....
If you can wait a couple of week Pete, I'll come over and give it a squashing, to apologise for my aggressive behaviour earlier today. I wasn't my usual jovial self today, because I was well pissed off.
You see I'm hoteling it at the moment, and generally I enjoy it, apart from the PITA of having to unpack on arrival each Sunday evening, and pack up again each Thursday night, so I can check out first up on Friday morning.
Anyhoo, the last two weeks I've been staying at quite a nice apartment style hotel in Gungahlin, an outer suburb of Canberra. I quite enjoyed last week so I asked for the same room again this week, anyway, this week I was disturbed from my slumber not once, not twice, but 3 fcuking times, by "Dumb and Dumber", two roadworkers who were billeted in the room next to mine.
These brainless fcukwits would come back to their room late (say around 11pm) each night 3 parts pissed, turn their TV on at max volume, talk absolute schidt, laugh like flushing toilets at each other's "witty banter" (read subhuman grunting of no intelligence at all) and as they were both smokers, they'd go outside for a smoke every 20 minutes or so slamming their rooms door.
These rooms have "smart" electronics, so once you remove your entry card, the lights, TV, aircon etc switches gradually itself off, so I'd have 10 or 15 minutes of peace, then they'd come back, slamming the door on entry, yarping away, then of course once one of them inserted their smart card, the TV would come back on at full volume. Krunts.
The first night, someone on the other side of their room bashed on their door and told them to shut the fcuk up, and all went quiet. I went to reception the next day for some supplies from their pantry, and the young girl asked me how I was enjoying my stay, so I told her about these arseholes, and she gave me a card with the night managers number, and told me to ring him if there was a problem that night. As it was, all was quiet that night, so I thought they'd learned their lesson, and had a good nights sleep.
Next night, they were up to their old tricks. The neighbour on the other side must have checked out, and as I've got to be very careful about getting into potentially violent situations due to a couple of black marks on my otherwise squeaky clean police record, I rang the night manager, and asked him to intervene. No worries, within a few minutes, I could hear him knocking on the door and telling them to shut up. They did.
Well last night I went to bed expecting a lovely sleep, went to bed around 9.30 and immediately fell asleep, then at 11.50, all hell broke loose as the Dumber Brothers arrived home from the pub. Doors slammed, TV's at max volume, yelling, laughing, yahooing, it felt like they were in my fcuking room!
Once again, I rang the night manager around 12.30, and by 1250 or so, he sorted them out again. I was thinking about cutting their throats and watching them bleed out as I positioned them in what would appear to be a homosexual act just to piss off their families, but I reluctantly put that thought away and eventually went off to sleep, before my alarm aroused me at 5am. (I have to be at work by 0600 on Fridays for a teleconference with the US Navy supply guys.) I worked until 1200, then hopped in the Subaru for it's 400 mile drive home. Nothing like a long drive on a warm day when you'd rather sleep than drive.................
So all in all, I've had fcuk all sleep this week, and if I sounded a bit abrupt Pete, I do apologise, as you know, I'm usually like a big friendly Teddy Bear........
