Nigel gets his act together....

June  15:  Nigel finally gets the hotel of his choice:

Gentlemen (and Brucey),

Hotel La Bonne Auberge is reserved for Wednesday 7th September - 6 twin rooms at 56 euros per person, half board. It is recommended in my French Hotel and Michelin guides. It has a pool, restaurant, games room and waxing service (for Walsy). Anne Maurel (the manageress with the husky voice) looks forward to meeting you.  


Top man.
