Grand Hotel
----------------------------------------it is, Adri, and I have awarded the final and fifth star – it was those silk sheets that did it  ***** This picture shows the trays clearly marked Grand Hotel in which my houseboat-on-the-Rhine-B&B-host brought my breakfast. Look at that! So delicious. The previous morning he among a lot of things served the finest grapefruit with the wedges expertly separated. Oh, was I spoiled?   As to our new guest, May I suggest he gets the penthouse suite May I suggest we stock up on plenty of fruit for room service? May I suggest we relinquish our rule that our guests change into black tie for supper? We want to do what we can to make him to feel at home, don’t we? Meet yodap:  I hope it's OK with you, yodap. It's such a lovely picture of you  and Base Camp always prided themselves in having Motley Crews - and you contribute in a giant scale to that   I would have given you a rose  but it sort of clashed with the color of your furcoat  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 23, 2018 11:00:07 AM] |

Thank-you,
Please no penthouse for me. I'm no Conquistador Just a regular soldier. Some fruit and a clean up and get back at it works for me.  |

Trying to recover from that Whiter Shade Pale provoked by having miscalculated this royally, yodap
Grand Hotel’s aim is to fulfil any wishes of our guests, so we rushed to create a minimalist, yet cozy room for you. You only need to ring the right bell for cleaning service and the left one for meals.  Please let us know, if there is anything you want different  |

Tonight there's a party at the Grand Hotel as our top40.nl team will be expected to pass 120 years of runtime! If you click the remote control here→the full Procol Harum album from 1973 will be played, as many times as you wish.
Please enjoy Toujours l'amour as A Rum Tale is told on your TV Caesar channel, see A Souvenir of London while Bringing Home the Bacon For Liquorice John and be pleasantly surprised by Fires (Which Burnt Brightly) in Robert's Box. |

Litlle mermaid asked :
----------------------------------------Do you have unisex names in France? Dominique, Claude are unisex. Camille is a old male name, but it's used as female name since some decades. André and René are male, but Andrée and Renée female. By the ear, we can not tell the difference. Frédéric is male, Frédérique female. José is male, but Marie-José is female. There must be other... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Saphir12 at Dec 2, 2017 6:13:11 PM] |

How lucky we are, yodap, to stumble into this celebration
 I'm prepared to dance all night in my new outfit and my all new hairdo - think it matches the acidy Procol Harum music  Advertised elsewhere that our de luxe penthouse suite is vacant. Saphir12-Nathalie cannot be fixed locally. She must go back to the hospital in Sweden to be sealed properly. Took her home with me. I need to back-up. Even as sealing of a back panel should not warrant any tinkering with her software, you never know. I also need her points for this race. Mr Jones flat out rejected acting as a phone again in any near future. So, no sealing until January. Instead I bought her a neat sequined belt so her innards will not fall out |

I think yodap wanted us to meet the
Whirled Peas but I may be wrong - that is known to have happened |
