Welcome welcome every one if your special branch or on the run.

Good day .
Yes it's me I'm Cathy (Formally Robbie). I've come to Amsterdam to get the operation. More about this later, much later.

Onwards and upwards

This just popped into my head and now it's coming out of my mouth, there is no stopping it.
Hello Sid Snot here. Me and my bird Deirdree went to the park, to feed the pigeons, to my cat. - Kenny Everett. As a kid I grew up watching Kenny Everett. During the 70's and early 80's he had a weekly show and was the original alternative comedian along with Dave Allen and I am sure I can trace a lot of my craziness back to watching "The Kenny Everett Video Show" and the Dave Allen at large Show alas both are now fertilizing daffodils now

ESCAPE NEWS

Giuseppe (cost cutting) Urso is totally gone mad. After preaching at us for nearly 2 weeks about cutting costs and all that shit (We at escape work 16 hours a day and at the end of each year HAVE NOTHING to show for it all. 5 years in and we have not made a penny. All money is spend on making the guests happy, in the last 6 months they have added PC's in most apartments, free hash or grass on arrival for all guests and are constantly spending on painters, replacements and everything else.

I told him straight - "Cutting Costs is like asking my mother to give up Vodka. Impossible".

Giuseppe has demanded with menace all the bills we pay monthly, gas, electric, phones, internet and every other bill you can name and some you can't. Dee in an effort to save the office from another coup quickly produced all said bills with ease from here very efficient filing system (2 metal boxes and 1 cardboard one).

He has spend the worst part of 2 days on the phone to each company demanding (Italian style) cheaper rates, bigger discounts, bonus points, free coffee machines, a toaster and other so called "free gifts" you get to switch over to a competitor.

I tried to tell him there is NO such thing as a free anything but before I could get the words out he had signed us up to a new electric company. Effective immediately.

5 minutes later as I was leaving the building I heard Brendan shout "Who turned off the power" and I heard Giuseppe say "Oh Fuck"

Just another day in Escape land.
