Had to make a few emergency repairs as the building inspectors came round and said the pace was too wide. With the high-tech virtual spatial enhancement we have inside the external dimensions don't actually matter so we went along with their instructions.

Derek, is it OK now???

Looking good, Spaceman .........

Slim enough for me :-))

I just thought I would pop in for a look around before the big opening day, I am quite impressed. It is built on the same principle as the TARDIS, lots of room inside.

Hey, I found the hidden door to the private rooms, four-poster beds and plush furnishings. What are the velvet lined hand-cuffs for, are we expecting trouble in here?

Socs I thought that room was locked, I hope you didnt disturb anyone in there? ;-)

Did you notice the Olympic size swimming pool when you were down that end of the building? I need to go and check if the waterslides have been installed yet ;-)

Disturb anyone, moi?

Spacie - I hope you got the pink fluffy ones :)

chocolat, Of course, I like all the fluffy ones .....

So, no chance of my favourite tapas then - conejo al ajillo - guess its gonna have to be the fish fingers....but hold the ketchup...even I have some standards... ;-)

Oh look.....state of the art cooker.....
state of the art fridge.....freezer.....
dishwasher.........
waste disposal.....
automatic ordering system - wonder how long it will take for me to

Evening.

Is that emblem above the door St. George about to slay the dragon
or Don Quixote charging the windmill?!

I thought it was Mary Poppins on speed, jj!

Spaceman,
Thought I'd take the liberty of a pre-opening perusal, very impressed, compulsory smoking area is a nice touch, hope this will become a haven from any children (accompanied or otherwise) as I assume they will be barred entirely!!
Post modernist space utilisation is amazing, but do the ladies really need a powder room that big! I only ask on grounds that they tend to turn up in the old place so beautifully prepared, but perhaps you know best. I only hope they wander in here, previous comments seem to offer hope in that respect, some well known, and much loved, early visitors.
Better leave now don't want to delay final prep!

I was just wandering around and I found the boys equivalent of the ladies powder room. You can get a massage in there, if you are brave enough. The new person employed for it was in there last night, Swedish, blonde, six foot six inches tall and just as wide. Biceps like tree trunks and built like the proverbial brick out-house. Last job was lifting containers off and onto trucks and a temperament like a Challenger Tank. Be very careful what you say to her.
