Title: A Well Run Business
Post by: Rat Catcher on August 01, 2019, 10:26:26 am
Me:  I was doing an overnight at a hotel away from home. I took my Ipad down to the bar to do some data entries. I sat down at the bar and I asked the bartender, ‘What’s the hotel Wi-Fi password?’
  Bartender: 'You need to buy a drink first.'
  Me:  'Okay, I’ll have a beer.'
  Bartender:  'We have Molson’s Canadian on tap.'
  Me:  'Sure. How much is that?'
  Bartender:  '£8.00.'
  Me:  'Here you are.  OK now, what’s the wifi password?'
  Bartender:  ' "youneedtobuyadrinkfirst";  No spaces and all lowercase.'

Surprised you visited at all with Trump in power. I won't be setting foot in the place again 'till he's gone or, at least, built the wall he promised.

Opportunity arose to head over fairly cheapish(standby) and we needed a cheap family holiday so we went. NYC & Boston are both far enough removed from Trump that you wouldn’t even think you was in Amerakay

Im hearing you hal on that, what the fuck is it with going to new York?
Herself has been hinting to go for years but i refused point blank to go telling her she should organise it with friends /family anybody but fucking me.
Eventually she booked it with someone ( i wasn't really listening)
for next year for five days, and I'm really looking forward to the rest.

Naaa.. No thanks. Its bad enough having to deal with the erm sized gullible fuckwits for a 10/ 20 minutes  car journey without going over to a land full of them.

I wouldn't support the economy while Trump is in charge, similarly I wouldn't visit any of the hotels he built with immigrant labour and tax rebates from the billions of dollars he lost in the 80s and 90s. He's the most vile human being ever to draw breath.

Many of my American passengers seem embarrassed by him.They don't want to admit they're supporters like they used to.

I was there in the US in 1992, with the exception of Sully's bar in Georgetown, Boston, I hated the rest of the trip, too many rules and too many idiots !
The Aurora Borealis had been on my 'Bucket list' fer many years, but as the years progress I am a lot slower to leave home.

While in Zambia I had the option to visit Zimbabwe for the day.
The Mugabe regime wanted $150   for the day visa because I was a EU citizen, the EU had imposed sanctions  and this was part of his revenge.
I simply kept a 100 Zambian Kwacha note which had a picture of Victoria Falls on it.
The 100 kwacha  is worth 10 cent.  8)
