Mad now Bad with less than 24 hours to go

Well hello again.
Thursday , less than 24 hours before the guests arrive in Bad (F.N.A MAD). Bad is at present really living up to it's name. I am busy busy busy getting the finishing touches for it, need a few tables, pillows, cable TV, and a few finishing touches.
well spent most of the day scraping paint off the floors of Mad or Bad . bastard painters, you know the saying "if you pay peanuts you get low lifes". In our case we paid no one, got the local prison to send down a few inmates who are doing hard labour but it diden't work out as they make lousy painters so a lot of paint ended up on the newly laided floor so now I have to scrap it all off. Convicts!.
A word from our sponsors------ We go recorded to Delhi and this report Just in. Dave over to you, what's the latest.
Hi all
Things returning to (dare we say) normal here. Still have a heavy police and army presence but that
just seems to be making people obey traffic laws more. so its ok .....
Somehow though I dont think the recent events will be very good for tourisim in the future .....everyone but the isralies seem to have run away...... maybe we can set up an Iraqi exchange next
Oh well at least there is no bird flu here.......can't say that for europe.....
We are hanging in here and laughing all the way.
The last inquiry we got was a few days ago from a Pakistani.....
We offered him a deal but afterwards he watched the news and said Delhi seemed to unstable right now and he will come in spring instead...crazy.
I'll bet all over the world evangelical christans are walking the street with sign boards proclaming the
coming of the apocolypse maybe we should make some and wear them in a crowded
place for a photo op.....
Missing you all
button up your overcoats
Hare Krishna Hare Ram ........................just a second let me get my tambourine
Remmber folks if you want to sample Delhi 1st hand visit

It's official. Mad is Bad

Well good day sports fans and welcome to the results of the AmsterdamEscape low table meeting. While the guests were out of one of the apartments (Not saying which one) we all snuck in and had our meeting. Dee kept the minutes which ran into hours and before we knew it the guests were spotted returning by our lookout. So meeting was adjourned but the vote was taken ---
2 against 2.
2 votes for mad and 2 for Bad. When we reach a point like this we usually thrown a coin in the air and decide heads or tails but not one of us had a coin so we drew match sticks and Bad won.
So officially Amsterdam Mad is now Amsterdam Bad with the slogan " Are you bold enough to stay here" After spending the last 2 full days getting it ready, tonight it looked quite well (with eyes closed) and tomorrow should finish either it or me off. 1st guests arrive on Friday. Still have no TV, Mat, Cutlery, cups and bits and bobs so it's a mad bad dash tomorrow.
Found this tee-shirt with a picture of a cow on it and a slogan saying Bad not Mad. Think I'll stick to apartment front door. (from the mad cow disease days)
