1pm- We arrived at Travelodge,couldn't check in till 3pm so explained that we would not be coming back till late so made them aware of our arrival which she did and said everything was in order.
Just after 1-30pm- set off to the pub for a bite to eat and a pint or three then went on to the State of Quo bash(which was awesome may I say at this point).
After the gig we had a pint(or three) with friends then went on to look for some scran(feeling peckish again) and found a Kebab place(I don't like that e but they did sell Burgers also) so ordered a low calorie king burger thing( and yes he did ask if I wanted cheese which I declined) and also some low fat chips.......
As I was waiting in the queue I was phoned by Lou and she said the Hotel had rung home and said that we had not checked in and our room had been booked by someone else and for us to get in touch which after several attempts we did and was told that we had been moved to another hotel. Well we were not going back to the hotel straightaway as we had the FF gig in around an hours time so told them to sort it out later so off we toodled for a pre-gig pint as you do.Met up with some Quo nutters and got offered a room well the floor actually(cheers Rossi)if we were stuck(Oooh I say)
After what was a fantastic gig(that show was up there in my top two) we sauntered(well fookin power-walked) back to the hotel to sort this out.
Got there and they said they had booked us into the 4 * Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel and the Taxi's there and back would be paid for and also a Breakfast all at their cost which they said would be around £210 for the night + B/fast + return Taxi.
Was rather a nice Hotel I must say and was quite comfortable.
All this palaver for a room which cost £23 for the night to us......
Oh and in the lift on the way to check out we were accosted by a 'professional dancer'......
It was certainly not a run-of-the-mill weekend that's for sure.......
