Attention the French Runners

In the next day or so the details will be going out to one and all.

Basic price is under ukp120, sharing a room. Five course dinner both
nights.

On the email that ought to be zinging into your inbox shortly are all
the various price permutations for those not wanting ferries, those not
wanting to share with snorers, farters, projectile vomiters and people
who've forgotten they weren't wearing their Pampers[1].

This is a heads-up for the payment deadline - 1 March. Any later than
that and don't be surprised if you're knocked off the list.

At present, this is the largest head count yet: 48 souls, no less.

[1] Matching the descriptions to the guilty parties is left as an
exercise for the reader.

 

Are we paying you the full cost by then, or just the cost of the ferry?

The whole thing. So he can book it.

 

It's not an odd question, in the past we've paid for the ferry up-front
and settled the hotel bill on departure.

and then half a dozen fail to show up and the hotelier doesn't make
quite the profit he was expecting and, quite fairly, whinges in a
typically garlic manner.

 

I still don't see what is wrong with the question. Without asking it I
would just post the ferry cost off to him on the assumption we were
working the same way as previous years.

I see your point but you are forgetting that TOG is only doing what
comes naturally to him and making subtle changes in the product so that
he can sell it as "new and improved" each time.

 

No, we haven't. Not for ages. We've paid everything and settled the
individual extras afterwards - booze, beer, wine, beer, booze, etc.

 

Everything.

Oh well, I've got the email now anyway and it looks like it has changed
to previous years, sorted.

OK, Auvache, your email is bouncing so you didn't get it....

Blimey, just cos I missed the last three doesn't make it *ages*...does

Can't see a thing in the filters so it must have bounced long before it

Which semantics are you going to go through then?

spelled it correctly.

It's a perfectly acceptable spelling of the part participle of "spell".
HTH.
