Your comment reminded my of a joke by on Mock the Week a few years ago. The topic was "Things you wouldn't hear on a cooking show".

Hugh Dennis replied "these Korean meatballs really ARE the dogs bollocks".

There was a beauty from Frankie Boyle involving Nigella Lawson which I can't repeat for fear of thread-ban.
Ban worthy joke by Frankie Boyle about salt for the win.

1. I want to go to Phuket.

2. Can anyone recommend a good resort to stay at if you have been.

3. This was a funny Trip Advisor comment on a resort...


Comment-
6th year in a row to Phuket, first time here. Should have read the negative reviews before we booked, sure there are many more positive reviews but sadly we experienced the common theme in the negatives- very rude management, no care factor when there is a problem or if you request ANY changes. Sure, my husband did the wrong thing and swore out of absolute frustration at reception when it was very clear that we were getting the consistently blanket response of 'you get what you booked' and there can be no changes to that for any reason. We wanted a DOWNGRADE from the larger 2nd floor infinity pool room to a.....


and on and on and on...she went.

Let me clarify a few thing for the rest of our readers.
1.When you make a booking for a certain type of room and the hotel honours that booking by reserving the room that means that we cannot sell that room to anyone else. If on your arrival you change your mind about that room type and decide that you wish to downgrade to another room type then we can not refund the difference in the cost in any way.
2. Your husband constantly used the F word when dealing with our reception staff, The only time I swore was when I told your husband not to swear at our staff, your husband said that he didn't swear, I said " you keep using the word F##K". Your husband then told me to come from behind the reception desk into the lobby so that he could physical fight with me. All of this was witnessed by other staff and by other guests at the reception desk who commented that your husbands behaviour was disgusting.

Depends. Just you going or are you bringing the family?

That Game of Thrones episode today was awesome

Its ridiculous that people use the grumpy thread to praise things. What happened to structure people. Its worse than giving votes in the game day thread.

I tell you it was never like this when I was a kid. We knew our limits and where things belonged.

When you are the OP of such a legendary thread ...well winners are grinners and **** off if you don't like it.

Just saying
