Part 1797

I was wondering around reception, not really doing anything to be honest, just watching what was happening.

Everybody was busy and seemed happy.

Leo and Billy were laughing about something and I could hear Arlo and Aiden laughing as well in his office.

I was happy......

Then I heard a voice say "morning Jay, what a lovely day it is as well"

I turned to see Sam standing their with a big smile on his face......

He gave me a huge hug and said loud enough so not only did Leo and Billy hear but also Arlo and Aiden....

"I've just heard that Mr dodgy bollocks has been to the Crown Court for a 'pleas and direction' hearing. You will be pleased to hear that he pleaded guilty to the 3 charges! So you don't have to attend court mate! His been released on bail with a few conditions and the judge warned him that 'all sentencing options are on the table'. That means including jail time!"

I heard a big cheer go up from those that heard what Sam said.

Leo walked up to me and gave me a hug as did Billy.

Arlo and Aiden stood at their office door and clapped saying 'justice at last!'

I sat down on the reception sofa and started crying....mainly out of relief...........

The next minute, Smudge frightened the life out of me, again, by jumping onto my lap, licking my face and then curled up on my lap. Its like the little bugger knew....

In happiness, in grief & sorrow the constant is love.

Love for our own individuals: those with whom our souls are entwined and united;

Love for those with whom we resonate: the family we choose as our own and whom we embrace in becoming part of our wider family!

Love for our shared endeavours as a group of individuals who work and play with exultation;

Love for the place you call home where you actually also work.

You all epitomise all of the above.

We love being an auxiliary part of your stories because we feel as though we know you!

Long live this love of every kind.

Enjoy the celebrations!

Finally: LOVE TO YOU ALL! ❤️

Part 1798

(Harry and Luke want to write about their wedding and Arlo and Aiden don't know whether they should write about the funeral.)

So back to the 'story'......

Smudge was curled up on my lap licking my hand and looking at me with his black eyes....even though he has, just lately, been a little shit, he seemed to know that I wanted 'comforting'.

Leo came and sat next to me and handed me the financial projections and future 'bookings' list for all departments.

In the period of 7 months we had paid all the bills and wages for the whole year. The hotel was on a very good financial footing.

With the number of clients using the boot/fitness classes...we are already running 2 a evening for 6 evenings a week and the afternoon teas and the Sunday carvery being brim full most of the days we are running out of space!!!

Leo told me that perhaps we should extend the dining area and use the folding doors like we did last time. That would increase the area for dining and with the folding doors closed an extra space for running more boot/fitness classes.

I looked at Leo as he handed me a copy of the 'builders plans' of where it should be extended and the size etc.

Leo smiled as I asked him if it was possible under 'planning conditions?'

The little bugger then handed me a copy of the planning permission already granted for the extension!!

He had done it again!! God I love you Leo, you devious little bugger!!

When I asked him, again, what other planning permissions he has already obtained, he again, touched the tip of his nose and winked at me!

I then thought to myself that I would catch him out by asking how much it would cost and whether we would need an increase of staff?

Well... that bloody back fired on me! Leo then produced the building costs as of 2023 which he said would probably have to be increased by 12% due to inflation etc and a breakdown of extra staff needed in both the kitchen and gym!!!

I gave him one of my 'death stares' and stood up which made him stand up. I forgot that Smudge was sitting on my lap and he went flying across reception!!

Part 1799

Poor Smudge....he got a fright as he was actually asleep on my lap! He went flying across the floor and banged into the other sofa. The little shit hissed at me and if stares could kill, I would be 6' under....

I bent down and like an idiot said sorry to him!!

I gave Leo a hug....and again apologised to Smudge.

I went into the gym to discuss Leo's thoughts with Tom.

Tom was busy in his treatment room as was William. Brandon and Bradley were busy in the Tannery.

I headed back out passing the changing rooms and could hear laughter. I went in and Connor and Josh were sweeping up and putting new towels, shower gel etc in the racks.

I went in to say hello to them....

Connor was smiling like a cat that got the cream. (And before you ask!! No Dylan never heard of that expression before!)

At that point Martin walked in. He said hello and started stripping. He then told Connor that he's having a shower first before their workout. Connor then stripped and joined Martin in the showers!!! Josh stood their shaking his head saying "if them 2 aren't a couple then I'm a monkeys uncle!" (That saying had Dylan rolling about on the floor with laughter!)

My radio crackled saying I was wanted at reception

I got their to find Bob the builder talking to Leo.....

Robert then said that if I agree to have the dining room extended just after the new flats are built he will honour the 2023 price for the labour charges.

Leo nodded at me so I shook hands with Robert.

Robert thanked me and told me "I appreciate that as times are hard at the moment and after the flats were built I was looking at getting rid off 3 of my lads. They will be really happy their staying on...and please consider me for the other projects"

The other projects? What was he talking about?

Leo quickly intervened and thanked Robert.....saying "we will be in touch"

As Robert was leaving I turned and faced Leo.....he smiled saying "don't ask Jay, as I'm not telling you!"

Part 1800 (!!)

Martin and Sean came round with the heated trolley....

Mmmnnnn. Chicken sandwiches and a cappuccino please lads!!

Then....

One of the builders lads came running into reception.....

Quick!!! Theirs been an accident we need an ambulance.....he's chopped his fucking hand off!

Billy radioed for Liam...

Liam comes rushing as quick as he could, surprisingly quick considering his prosthetic leg, carrying a first aid kit.

We all rushed outside...we got to the worksite and saw one of the lads covered in blood holding his hand to his chest. Blood was pumping out. Liam shouted in the radio to get a bucket of ice here ASAP.

Liam wrapped a towel and bandages around the lads hand and held it up above the lads head. The lad was screaming. Liam was now covered in blood.....

Tony appeared with literally a bucket of ice.

We sat the lad down keeping his hand above his head and Liam went to the circular saw....he found 2 finger tips on the floor.... he didn't hesitate. He picked the fingers up, put them in a freezer bag he had in his pocket and buried them in the ice bucket.

The lad was on the verge of passing out so we laid him down.

The ambulance paramedic in one of the response cars arrived first.

The response paramedic told Liam he had done the correct things....

The ambulance arrived and carted the poor lad off to hospital. Robert and the other lads were horrified about what had happened.

Robert said he has to report this to 'Riddor' and the health and safety executive. He will have to close the site until further notice.

Liam was looking a bit pale and was propping himself up against a wall.

Me and Tony grabbed him and walked him to the gym showers.....

Liam sat their and he certainly was covered in blood. We helped him strip out of his chefs whites....

He eventually got naked and we managed to get him into the shower. He sat down on the floor letting the water cascade down on him....

I think he was having a PTSD episode.

Harry comes charging into the changing room, asking where Liam was? I told him he's in the shower and I think his having one of his 'episodes'

Harry asked who's with him?

When we said nobody Harry shouted at us "for fucks sake!"

Harry then stripped and went into the showers and sat with Liam...

Part 1801

Harry wasn't a happy bunny with me and Tony!!

He shouted from the showers....

"Don't stand their like fucking lemons!! Get him some clean clothes for gods sake! And get Aj!"

I flew up to Liams room and grabbed a complete change of clothing for him. Tony went and got Aj.

I got back to the changing rooms as Leo was just getting their.

Harry shouted at Leo to "burn the blood soaked clothes, no ones wearing them again."

Aj then came in and immediately stripped to his shorts and joined Liam and Harry in the showers.

Surprisingly it was only another 15 minutes before Liam was ok.....

Liam, Aj and Harry walked out of the showers. Liam was still very pale in the face and shaking.

Aj and Harry dried him and started to dress him in the clean clothes I got from his flat.

Harry gave me one hell of a dirty look, one that would kill at 100 yards! He was really angry at me for leaving Liam alone in the shower.

He then shouted at us "stop fucking gawping at us! Do something useful...Tony get him a brandy and a glass of lemonade and lime, obviously in 2 seperate glasses!"

Tony immediately went to the bar and I disappeared quickly and went to reception!!

Robert and the other builders lads were in reception drinking hot drinks. All were upset about what had happened.

Robert informed Leo that the lad involved was a self employed sub contractor with his own tools.

Part 1802.

I've never seen Harry like this before. I was upset but proud of him for taking control like he did and barking out the orders of what he wanted done.

I saw Aj and Harry take Liam to his flat. I got another horrible look off Harry.....I was now feeling like shit like I had let down both Liam and Harry.

Just before evening meal I noticed Alex and Sean push the heated trolley towards the staff flats....

They said Harry asked them to bring evening meal to Liam's flat for the 3 of them.

Luke came to reception....he told me that Harry is very upset with me and Tony for just 'standing around like pricks'..... wow!! Say it as it is Luke!

Both Billy and Leo looked at Luke and then at me. Neither said anything...

Fuck...I feel terrible now.

I didn't go to evening meal as I didn't feel hungry...

Leo gave me a hug....and told me I had better make it up to Liam and Harry.

I saw Aj bring the heated trolley back and I asked him how Liam was? He said "he's better, still pale and a bit shakey but Harry knows what to do"

I told him I will go up and see them later.....

Aj looked at me "perhaps that's not a good idea at the moment?"

Part 1803

I listened and understood but my mum, God rest her soul, always said "never go to bed on an arguement"

I went to the bar and had a brandy to calm my nerves......

I went to Liam's flat and knocked on the door....

Aj answered and just looked at me. I could see Liam sitting on the sofa with Harry and Luke.

He opened the door wider and let me in.

I walked over to them and asked how Liam was? Adding "I can't go to bed with this hanging in the air... if I've upset anyone then I apologise as trust me it was totally unintentional. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes. But trust me when I say I care about everybody here and love you all"

I then headed back towards the door.

I then heard Liam's voice "Love you too Jason"

I smiled to myself as I headed out of the door......

I went back to the bar and had another brandy!!

In the corner sat Martin and Connor. They looked rather 'cosy'

Connor waved me over and I went and sat down. They both looked at each other and smiled.....

"Jason, said Connor, I know this might sound a bit forward, but what's the criteria to be considered for one of the new flats being built?"

I looked at them both before saying "well, their isn't really a criteria as such. It's who deserves it and whether they are partnered, how long they have worked here etc? Oh god that does sound like a criteria doesn't it!!"

The lads laughted...."yea that is a criteria Jason, without a doubt"

Part 1804.

After evening meal, I had, to be honest, enough of the days events and headed upstairs to my flat.

Even though when I visited Liam, and when I was leaving he said "love you" I feel I still let him down. And obviously Harry, as he didn't say a word to me, is still upset with me.

Dylan was sitting on the sofa and was suprised how early I was back.

I went for a shower and then sat with him on the sofa.....

I was 'holding it together' until he asked me if I was OK? I then for some reason started crying......

Dylan cuddled me saying "what's happened, happened, we can't change it so draw a line under it and start again tomorrow. I'm sure Harry isn't angry with you personally Jason. His angry with the situation and Liam is ok. That's all what matters. And the builder lads injury is nothing to do with you or the hotel."

I cried more.....

Then a knock on the door.....

Instead of one of us just shouting 'come in' as we normally do, Dylan said he will go and see who it is.

I heard talking at the door but couldn't actually hear what was being said?

He came back by himself......

I asked who was at the door and all Dylan told me was "something that can wait until the morning"

Part 1805

I had a bad night's sleep worrying about Liam, Harry and the builder lad.

At 03.10am I was sitting in the living room drinking a cappuccino and listening to some smoothing music on my headphones.

I obviously didn't hear Dylan get up and come into the living room!!

He touched me on the shoulder and I jumped up with fright. Nearly had a bloody heart attack and nearly shit myself!!

He sat with me and cuddled me. He knew I was upset still.

We were both awake at 05.30am and Dylan had a shower and went to see what was happening in the kitchen. I told him I wasn't hungry and gave him my daily briefing sheet to give to Billy to tell the lads what's happening today and what needs doing etc.

Apparently my absence from the breakfast table made the lads feel a bit unsure and whether I was OK?

Billy told me later on in the day that Harry and Liam were visably upset that I was missing.

I also heard that Leo read the riot act to the lads, not specifically mentioning any names, saying "that bloke (me) has done more for us lot than you can imagine. He's defended us right up to the hilt and supported us through the bad times. I can assure each and everybody here he's is certainly not a 'fucking prick'... he's the most loyal and caring boss you will ever know. What you lot don't know is that he was offered more than £2 million pounds for this hotel but refused to sell as you lot have all showed loyalty to him and he appreciated that more than anything. Even when a well known hotel chain used hostile tactics to take over this hotel he still stood his ground, even when they turned nasty not only to the hotel but too him personally. I'm disgused at the attitude of some of you towards him. His fucking human and yes he could have made a mistake but how many of us can say we have never made a mistake? Look at the accommodation he has given us..£25 each a week, all in, all bills paid, flats, meals, snacks. You fucking lot eat more than £25 in food each week! So here's the deal...if you think he is a prick and don't want to work here...then fuck off"

My god! Leo really went off on one!

I've heard from 4 people, and they all said the same about what Leo said.

Surprisingly it was Martin and Alex who got upset.....they stood up and went to the kitchen. 5 minutes later they returned with the heated trolley and told everybody "we're going to take his breakfast up to Jason, see if we can pacify him and apologise to him on all our behalfs"

Harry said he will take the trolley up as "it's my fault" said Harry.

Martin smiled and said "yea, you can come with us, a good idea and take lots of humble pie with you."

Mistakes are made by everyone..its life.

I am 110% sure that you will be forgiven Jason but the guys after that speech from Leo!? What he said was true and it was just the timing and situation that made Harry say what he blurted out..without thinking of the consequences that it would have on you. Hugs to you all

Part 1806

This is what I have been told then happened.....

Dylan stood up and told them "that NOBODY is going to take breakfast up to my husband. He needs time to calm down and reflect on what's happened. He didn't sleep whatsoever last night and from 03.30 to 05.30 this morning we done nothing but talk. He was very tearful and upset. He is under a lot of pressure from Mr dodgy bollocks court case, he's worried about the builder lads hand, worried about Liam, worried about Harry and worried if the builder lads accident will have any repercussions on the hotel. plus we all know his health isn't that good at the moment. He's under a lot of stress and pressure at the moment. So I'm telling you lot to leave him alone until he's ready to come down."

Leo agreed and told the staff that "we owe it to Jason to help and assist, not slag him off or put him under any more pressure"

Harry sat down, visably upset....

The lads continued to eat their breakfast, mainly in silence.

When they had finished they noticed that Harry had done his "houdini" act and had disappeared.

5 minutes later......

I heard a knock on my flat door....

I ignored it, I just couldn't be bothered to answer it.

The knock got louder and I heard a voice shout, with sobs inbetween the words, "dad....(sob) please dad (sob)......

I then heard loud crying.....

When I answered the door, I found Harry sitting on the floor, his knees bent, and his head in his hands, crying his heart out.....

I sat down beside him, and put my arm round his shoulders....

"I'm so sorry dad, I didn't mean what I said, I just voiced off without engaging my brain again. I love you so much and now I've let you down so badly. I don't deserve to be your son anymore"

He then hugged me tight and cried his heart out.....

Part 1807.

The next minute Liam appeared, crying as well.....

He managed to sit down next to Harry, he wasn't wearing his prosthetic leg, so he kind of fell down.

He apologised to Harry and then too me saying "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!! If I didn't have one of my 'episodes' we wouldn't be in this situation as Harry wouldn't have got angry and you Jason wouldn't have been on the receiving end of Harry's outburst. I feel so bad about this as both Dylan and Leo have read us the riot act"

Now their was 3 of us crying....

I promised them I would clear the air with Dylan and Leo "as these things happen....it called life"

I then stood up and offered both my hands to help Liam up and said "right you too, I think its cappuccino time and I'm hungry so you Liam put the cappuccino machine on and you Harry I feel like eggs on toast, with chips and beans!"

Harry smiled and went straight into my kitchen with Liam and they got too work!

Part 1808

Me, Harry and Liam were sitting at my dining table. Harry had indeed cooked me my breakfast and we were sitting talking, when Dylan came in. "Kissed and made up now have we?" He said.

Harry stood up and gave Dylan a hug as did Liam.

They then decided to leave and continue with their duties in the hotels kitchen.

Dylan hugged and kissed me...

After my breakfast I put my uniform back on and went for a walk around the hotel.

As I got to reception both Leo and Billy said 'hi' and gave me a hug.

Arlo and Aiden were busy little bees doing the marketing stuff they do and both smiled at me saying 'hello'

I went to the gym and saw how busy they were.....William and Tom were busy doing their treatments. Brandon and Bradley both doing spray tans.

I went outside and was very suprised that Bob the builder and 5 lads were working......Robert said the HSE And the health protection team at the local council has said work can continue. I asked how the lad was? Robert told me that he has lost the tips down to the nail wick on 2 fingers. The ones between the thumb and wedding ring finger. Due to the damage caused it was decided that the hospital just 'close the wounds' as they are 99% certain that a 're-attachment' would not be successful.

Robert then said that the good news is it won't affect his work at all.

I was pleased to hear that.....

Then 3 of the builders lads asked if they still could use the showers and gym after work? I didn't see a reason why not.

Sometime all the blood makes things look worse than they really are. The guy has lost the tip of two fingers but it could have been so much worse. At least it has been treated and won't prevent him working and will heal quite quickly

Part 1809

Later in the evening my radio crackled and Billy asked me to attend reception.

I got their to find the lad who chopped his fingers off sitting on the sofa with his parents.

The lad had his hand all bandaged up.

I introduced myself and the lads parents asked if it was possible to speak to whoever it was that gave him the first aid?

I hesitated at first as didn't want Liam to have another 'episode' by seeing him again. But.....if the lad is coming back to work anyway Liam will see him.

I told them I will see if he is still in the hotel....I knew he was as he lives in!!

Liam was in the bar having a drink with Aj and Harry and Luke.

I saw him and told him about the lad and his parents being in reception. I gave him the choice on whether he sees them or not?

Liam said yes and Harry, bless him, didn't engage his brain, (or did he?) And said "as long as I don't have to share a naked shower with you again, or people might start talking about us!"

I took Liam to reception and introduced him....

The lad thanked him for helping him and calming him down and further said "it looked worse than it was really...I've lost about a quarter of an inch on both fingers. And they have closed the wounds as they didn't think that if they attached the pieces I chopped off it would be successfully? But the good news is it shouldn't affect me in any way and I can still work as a chippy"

The lads mum got a bit tearful and stood up and hugged Liam!!

The lads dad asked Liam if their was anything they can do to repay his kindness.....

Surprisingly, Liam said "yes their is something he can do"

I looked at Liam....wondering wot on earth he was going to say?

He took the lad to oneside and the parents and me saw Liam 'wag' his finger in the lads face, say something, and then the lad gave Liam a hug!"

To this day Liam has never told what he did day to the lad....

Part 1810

Smudge, the little shit....well not so little now as he's growing up has a new friend!!!

Well, I say a friend but as Ian says "he's gone gay!!!"

His new found friend is Simon, our night porter!

When Simon does his security rounds, Smudge marches behind him with his tail up. When he's at reception Smudge sits on his lap listening to Simon's radio and watching the CCTV!

Simon has to put a towel over his lap to prevent getting cat hairs on his uniform. We are sure that Simon gives him some cat treats....

I asked Ian about him being with Simon at night instead of his flat.

"It's his choice. He wonders round like he owns the place until Simon comes in and he's off to reception! He dragged his bed there by Billy's safe behind reception. Smudge comes and finds me at lunchtime for his lunch and then when I've finished work he follows me round to the flat and then if I go to the bar, he follows me and has a little drink and then annoys all the others by jumping on their laps! When Simon isn't working nights, at about 10pm the little bugger comes looking for me and if I'm in my flat I hear him meowing and headbutting the door to let him him! But I do love him"

I laughted and told Ian that Smudge has him wrapped round his little paw. Ian didn't argue about that!!

I decided that tomorrow night, as we have no overnight guests, to have a 'shorts and sliders' game night.

I went to the bar and told the lads.

The lads decided that we will do the normal competitions. Pool, darts, chess, backgammon, monopoly and Alex's new game of cludeo!!

Sam was thrilled when Alex mentioned cludeo saying "oh great! A game I can win being a ex copper!"

Darren shot him down in flames by saying "you reckon Mr plod? Don't forget about me mate"

The lads all laughted.

Leo told everybody that the reining champs are:-

Darts...Josh - Jack & Scott doubles

Pool....Tony

Chess....Alex

Backgammon....me!

Monopoly....Harry.

Martin and Connor didn't know what I meant by a 'shorts & sliders' game night? Billy laughted and said "exactly what it says....to enter the games night you can only wear shorts and sliders nothing else!"

Connor looked at all of us before saying "wot? No top, underwear or socks?"

We all laughted.....

Scott asked if it was a "free bar?"

I laughted and said "only if you work the bar stark bollock naked mate!!"

Part 1811

Next day, after breakfast I went to see Bob the builder for a progress report and was a bit shocked that the lad with the injured hand was working!!! He had with him a young lad who was helping him. I asked him why he was working and he told me that he is self employed and a subbie to Robert. If he don't work he doesn't get paid and he was worried that if he took time off Robert would get somebody else. So he hired a lad, temporarily, to help him so he keeps his job and earns something. Fair comment I suppose.

The new flats were now taking shape and Robert told me that they will be completed within the time scale agreed.

I went back into the hotel to see Liam. The regular readers here will know that I paid for Liam to see a mental health practitioner last year for his PTSD and the results from the 10 sessions he had were very benefical. I asked him if he thought any more sessions with this mental health practitioner will be of any use, due to his recent episode?

Liam smiled at me ...."he was very good and he gave me other ways to combat and deal with it, if I had another 'episode'. But my recent episode was so minor compared to the others I can't jusify paying £1000 and, before you say anything, you are NOT paying for them again. I'm not going to argue with you, but Harry is very good at helping me."

He then gave me a hug and pissed off back to the kitchen!

That told me!!!

Martin and Sean was on heated trolley duties, dishing out the hot drinks and sandwiches.

Martin asked me if "tonight at the games night do we really have to come in just shorts and sliders?"

I laughted and said "come dressed as you feel comfortable with, but trust me the others will be in just shorts!"

He then asked me if "Scott does get stark bollock naked for the evening, are the drinks really free?"

Sean laughted, put his hand on Martins shoulder and said "yep 100%"

Martin smiled and handed me a cappuccino and a bacon sandwich!

Part 1812.

At evening meal, the lads were excited about the games night.

The previous games champions were eager to keep hold of their titles, including me.....Connor then said "the backgammon one I'm going to go all out and win, as I'm good at that!"

Everybody looked at him and then at me.....it was Harry that didn't engage his brain first then said "really Connor? You think you can beat me dad at backgammon? No chance mate! If you win I'll streak to the main gates!!"

Connor laughted and said "yea, your on mate and if he wins I'll streak!"

The other cheered!!!

8pm....

The lads started arriving in the function room. At evening meal I asked that they wear shirts when walking through the hotel, as we have the fitness class still on.

As soon as they got in the function room the shirts were removed!

Martin and Connor arrived and were a bit shocked at seeing the others in literally just shorts and sliders..

8.15pm

Scott was standing behind the bar when he told us all the bar was now open.....

He then walked from behind the bar carrying a pint for me.....

Connor and Martin's mouth dropped when they saw he was stark bollock naked apart from trainers!!

8.30pm....

The darts match started as well as the pool competition.

Alex set up the cludeo game and Harry set up the monopoly.

I got the backgammon board

9.00pm...

The late fitness class had finished and and we only had about 10 of the clients in the bar. Jack was serving them. They had all gone by 9.30pm.

Leo locked the main doors....Simon wasn't working tonight.

The games began!!

Part 1813

Scott was still stark bollock naked serving the lads their drinks.

I told him he proved the point so he can put his shorts on now....

The little bugger said "thanks, but everybody has now seen my cock and arse and I feel comfortable so I think I will stay naked"

The lads cheered then asked him for drinks!

Whoever wanted to play whatever game was put on Leo's tablet and so we had a fair result on who's playing who and a quarter, semi and then final.

After Leo sorted it all out the games began!!!

I had to laught when Leo announced that their is only 2 competing in the backgammon. Me and Connor!!

Their was 4 playing monopoly, 5 playing cludeo, 4 playing chess, 6 playing pool and 6 playing darts.

The darts and pool started off.

A couple of the pool players were also playing darts, so obviously their was a gap in play at times.

The monopoly was now all set and the cash distributed. Obviously their was a bit of an arguement about who has what playing piece!!

Harry being previous champion insisted that he has first choice and he choosed the 'top hat'

The cludeo game was set up. The players were.....Sam, Darren, Leo, Jack, Tom.

About 2 hours later we had some of the results in......

Scott was still stark bollock naked!!

The results in are......

Darts...single....Tony.

Darts...double....William & Scott

Pool...Tony

Chess...Alex

Monopoly...Harry

Cludeo...Darren. (Sam disappointed!)

Everybody was waiting for the backgammon to start!!

It was agreed to be the best of 3 games. Winner of opening game throw goes first.

First game.....

I rolled the dice.. a 4 and a 3.

Connor rolled a double 2.

I started and played well....

Unfortunately for me so did Connor! And he played a lot better than I thought he would..He won the 1st game!!

Harry was massaging my shoulders saying "come on dad, for gods sake get it together.....its fucking cold outside!!"

2nd game started and Connor won the opening throw so he started....

He had a few bad throws of the dice and I managed to win by a backgammon! I managed to move my 15 pieces around the board and removed them from the board, whilst Connor hadn't managed to remove any of his 15 pieces! The achievement of this results in a triple win known as a backgammon, hence the name of the game.

The deciding game....

I won the opening dice so I started.

It was a very close game and went down to the wire!!!

Connor had only 1 piece left on line 3 and I had 2 pieces left on lines 5 and 4....

It was my throw and my last throw of the game as no matter what Connor threw with his 2 dice he would win. Whereas I had to throw my 2 dice which both had to be a 5 or above. There are other combinations like double 3's, 4's, 5's and sixes which results in your piece(s) being able to move 4 times instead of 1.

I shook my dice container hard and threw the dice onto the board......

My dice landed on a 4........and the other on a 6!!!

I had WON!!!

Part 1814

I heard a "YES!!" coming from Harry and a gasp of "fuck...NO!" from Connor!

Leo called us to order and said "ok well done everybody, let's have the presentation of the trophies.

The winning lads stepped forward to receive their relevant trophy and so did I.......

I saw Harry and Connor shake hands and Connor shaked my hand telling me that I'm a good player....thanks Connor!

I told him "you're a better player than I gave you credit for mate. I enjoyed our games and it was unlucky that the dice weren't on your side. Either of us could have won. I then told him "if it's OK with Harry forget about that losers dare, as it was a very close match"

Harry agreed....

BUT....Connor then said "I'm sorry but a dare is a dare and I lost to a better player."

Martin looked a bit shocked and asked Connor if he was serious? Saying it's cold outside and it's a long way to the main gates.

Connor again said "I lost Martin fair and square"

Martin then shocked everybody by saying "ok, well if your doing it so am I!" He then removed his shorts and stood then stark bollock naked apart from his trainers.

Connor smiled and as he was taking off his shorts he said "thanks mate".

So with both of them stark bollock naked apart from trainers they headed to the main doors at reception......

We all followed them to the main entrance.

Scott then said "can I join you 2 as I've never streaked outdoors before!"

The lads laughted as Leo pressed the button to open the doors.....

The 3 of them then calmly walked out and headed to the main gates!!

We watched them on the CCTV cameras but as it was dark we could just about see them and would never know they were naked!

It was only when they got to 10 yards from the gates that the night camera showed then stark bollock naked apart from trainers.

The little buggers then turned to face the hotel and bloody waved at us!!!

It was a bit funny..but the nipple piecings and the Prince Albert on Connor was 'highlighted' on the night camera!!

20 minutes later they returned to the main entrance and it was so obvious they were 'cold'...if you know what I mean?

They walked in to a big cheer from the lads, which was a nice touch from them.

We all went back to the function room and Tony gave us all a drink. Meanwhile lovely Harry came out of the kitchen with 3 hot coffees for the 'streakers'....

The 'streakers' took their time coming back and when I questioned them about it they told me not only did they walk but they followed the road which actually zig zags round the gardens instead of walking in a straight lane!!! Stupid boys!!!

But well done lads .......

Even though the lads were obviously 'cold' (!!) Connors dick was still bigger than 80% of the other lads!

They put there shorts back on and drank the hot coffee that Harry made them.

The trophies will again be on display behind reception.....it makes the hotel look good! Just hope that nobody asks why we got them. Be a bit embarrassing saying their internal staff trophies for darts, pool etc etc......

Scott had a confused look on his face and I asked him if he's ok?

"Why the fuck did I just do that? That was bloody cold!" He replied.

I laughted and laughted harder when he said "and I'm not pissed as I haven't had an alcoholic drink tonight....I've been on the orange juice"

It had been a good night and I asked Scott to do a till reading to see how much the evening had cost me.

£236.75!!! Mmmnnnnn a nice figure and nobody pissed......and nobody took the piss which is even nicer.

Tony and Ian started clearing up and tidying and it was nice to see all the lads helping them.

They really are a good bunch of lads. They are hard working, full of fun and care about each other and they hardly ever moan. They just get on with it.

Dylan put his arm round my shoulders congratulating me on my backgammon victory and then said "I'll give you your real 'reward' later"

I love you so much Dylan!!!

What can I say? Dylan gave me my 'reward' for winning the backgammon!

I love you so much Dylan!!

Jesus, Mary and her bloody donkeys, he has some stamina!

Let's put it this way, Dylan got 2 loads out of me, and 'deposited 3 of his own loads!!!

I felt like I was in heaven....

Anyway.....

Next morning....

06.20am...

We're all sitting down at breakfast, a full English fry up....with Alex making sure I get my fried bread!

I was going over what needs doing and how busy we were. Ian said he will have to help Tony as both meeting rooms, the function room and the conference suite are all in use. The afternoon teas are maxed out as well.

When Bob the builder and his lads were onsite I confirmed that I want the dining room extended after the flats are built.

I asked him what 'other projects' has Leo discussed with him and what other building consents do we have?

He smiled at me and said "please don't ask as Leo has asked me not too tell you or anybody else. But what I will say is their is another 4 projects, all already gained building consent which has to be completed within 2 - 5 years of the consent being granted by the local council planning department."

I thanked him for his discretion and not spilling the beans. I read between the lines of what he told me and emphasised the 'planning department'......

Of course....all I have too do is go on the councils website and search for planning consents in the hotels postcode area!! Simple really....

The hotel was filling up with clients, and I saw Leo, Billy, Arlo and Aiden helping with issuing the guest passes etc.

There was 4 lines of people queuing.

1 line for the conference room (leo)

1 line for the function room (Billy)

1 line for meeting room 'A' (Arlo)

And the last for meeting room 'B' (Aiden).

Both Tony and Ian was directing/showing the clients to their respective rooms.

The lads were flat out in the kitchen doing the snack / meals and hot drinks for the rooms in use as well as getting the afternoon teas ready.

All hands on deck!

Part 1818.

Ian asked me if I could make sure that Clint, who's working today, is OK etc.

I went outside and said hello to Bob the builder and the lads. It was nice to see the lad who chopped his fingers off, well the tips of 2 fingers, working and his apprentice helping him.

The brickwork was up and the roof beams were already on site...it was looking good. It was even better when Robert told me they have made up time and are now 2 days in front. Therefore he will be able to start the extension on the dining and restaurant area hopefully 2 days earlier than expected.

He was really pleased that the lads he has now, have all agreed to work part of the project on nights, so the areas can remain open for food in the daytime.

I heard Clint, before I saw him, and homed into the noise of a chainsaw.

The hedges he was cutting back looked really neat and straight at the top. He must have done 30 metres and it's all level...it really, really looked good.

I noticed that he had full PPE equipment on from head to toes... yes I know its a safety requirement by law, but I have seen so many idiots work on their gardens with none at all.

He saw me coming and stopped the chainsaw and lifted the visor up on his helmet. He said hi.....

The next minute, out of nowhere, Smudge comes flying at me and starts chewing my shoe laces...the little shit!!!

Clint laughed and said "he's been watching me all morning from behind that tree!! Everytime I chopped a big turf of hedge down he runs from behind the tree and has a look at it, before running back behind the tree. I stopped for a coffee and he came and sat next to me...little bugger nicked one of my biscuits!"

I told him that if he comes to reception or where the builders are at midday the trolley will be their with hot drinks and sandwiches. He thanked me and asked if it was still OK for him to have a shower after work? I told him of course it is and if he wants to stay for evening meal his welcome as well.

He thanked me and said he would like to have evening meal as him and Ian use the gym for an hour after work so that would be nice.

I left him and Smudge to it and headed back in.

As I got to reception, Billy asked me to see if I can find out if Arlo was OK as he seems a bit down today?

I went to his office, finding his door closed whereas normally its wide open. I knocked and heard "hello" so I went in.

He didn't look too happy to be honest. A bit glum as Dylan would say....

Part 1819

Glum looking Arlo looked at me and I saw he had 'watery' eyes.

I asked if he was ok?

He stood up and starting biting his bottom lip.......

I pulled him in for a hug again asking him "if you need to talk mate, I here, no pressure if you don't want too, but it's obvious your upset mate?"

He hugged me back saying "I'm sorry, so sorry Jason. I've let you down"

I sat him down and sat opposite him on his small conference table.

He went on to tell me that last month he done a marketing campaign offering 10% off the full wedding packages we offer. It cost a lot of money with the specialist magazine adverts and the printing of the mail shots and of course the postage.

Nobody has come back quoting the discount code and he feels he has wasted money and failed.....

I told him he certainly has NOT failed as I have seen an increase in turnover in all departments since he joined as marketing manager. I went on to say that, that particular wedding campaign hasn't born any fruit yet but who knows what might happen in the months to come? I said the offer didn't have an expiry date on so next year we might get some results? I told him we only need 2 bookings from that campaign to pay for the campaign in full and then make profit on every one after.

I then went on to tell him about the increased turnover we have had on every other campaign he has run and the month on month increase.

He listened when I said "how do you know that people who got your mail shot haven't already been to see first hand the facilities and had afternoon tea or Sunday carvery etc without telling us? Don't be too hard on yourself Arlo....not every campaign is going to be a major success. Just continue like you are please...yes, that campaign cost us over £2000 but overall you have increased the weddings here by 12 and that generated over £14,000 clear profit.....so stop worrying Arlo, dry your eyes and earn the hotel more money!"

He stood up, wiped his eyes, gave me a hug and told me he's "working on the Tannery campaign and a cake campaign. Harry came in with his puppy eyes asking for a marketing campaign for birthday and celebration cakes and I couldn't refuse as I fell under his charms!! He certainly has a way about him, does Harry. He could sell sand to the bloody Arabs, he could!"

Later I told Dylan about "selling sand to the arabs" and to my utter suprise he replied "yea, a good salesman that means!"

Fucking hell Dylan!! You had 3 weetabix this morning???

Part 1820

Arlo really got upset thinking he had let the hotel down. He took a lot of convincing that he hasn't, and he can't 'win them all'

Aiden came into the office, saw Arlo was upset and asked 'wots up cuz?'

He limped forward and gave him a hug......

Arlo told him he was ok, just a bit stressed about a campaign he had done.

Leo then came in and apologised for the intrusion...."just had a bloke on the phone wanting to bring his daughter and future son in law to look at the facilities etc for their wedding. He asked if the offer of 10% is still valid as he couldn't see a expiry date? I told him we will of course honour the discount if he has the brochure with it in. Is that OK Arlo? Hope I've done right their?"

Arlo immediately cheered up.... "thanks leo, that's great and yes I didn't put a expiry date on it deliberately."

Leo left the office and I could see the relief on Arlo's face. His smile said it all!!

Anyway.... Aiden asked Arlo if he needed any help with the brochures? Arlo immediately put him to work on the computer saying "sort out some celebratory cakes pictures for me to use please......"

I left his office and went to mine motioning with my finger for Leo to join me.

We both went into the office and I closed the door.

"Leo, that was a good coincidence with that 10% off customer? How I see it is their really is a customer or you overheard the conversation and invented the customer and used your man management skills to make Arlo feel better?"

Leo winked at me and smiled.....

I fucking love you Leo...well managed mate!!

(And Arlo, if your reading this, now you know why Leo is a fantastic General Manager!)

Update....

Hello..

It's Harry here...Harry Webber.

(God I love that name, thanks Luke)

Me and Luke have had so many Dm's asking for us to write about the wedding!

Well....

The night b4 the wedding I stayed with Jason and Dylan stayed at my flat with Luke.

Me and Jason got up in the morning and showered.

Alex and Sean brought breakfast up to us!!! They were determined that I wasn't going to see Luke until the wedding.

Me and Dad Jason got dressed in our, what dad said, were 'morning suits' with matching waistcoats.

Jesus....I've never looked so smart!

Me and dad drove to the registrar office......

When I got their my bestman Liam was waiting at the entrance.....

He gave me a hug and told me to wait a minute until we hear the music 'love is all around' by Marti Pellow. He then went inside.

We heard the song and me dad walked me to the room. He opened the doors and Dylan stood the other side of me. I then saw the love of my life, Luke standing their with his bestman Aj and Liam

Me 2 dad's walked me to him....

Now, please forgive me here, but what then happened and the vows we 'exchanged' are personal to us. Wot I will say is Lukes vows to me had me and his mum in tears.

I LOVE YOU LUKE WEBBER

Harry, Harry Webber here again

After the marriage ceremony we went back to the hotel to a suprise dinner.... it was lovely and lots of presents....

Just b4 our wedding Luke brought a little vauxhall corsa and it was in that he drove us to our honeymoon cabin with hottub!!

It rained most of the way their and was pouring down and cold when we arrived. It was so chilly....

As we pulled into where sat nav directed us we were met by the owner. He showed us where our cabin was and told us we are the only cabin being used out of the 4 their. The hottub was on and he suggested we just leave it on.

He congratulated us on our marriage and said "nobody will disturb you throughout your stay..have a good time lads and I have left a list of places to eat out and your dinner reservation at the hotel is at 8.30pm. Details in your cabin.....

He them walked off after handing us the keys......

We got into the cabin, it was beautifully furnished.....

We looked at each other...how the fuck did he know this was our honeymoon? And dinner reservation?

We then noticed that their was a bottle of champagne, on ice with 2 champagne glasses and a letter addressed to Mr & Mr Webber.

I opened the letter......

The letter started.......

"To my Son Harry and my son in law Luke.......congratulations on your wedding....my lose but Lukes gain. I'm going to miss you doing your houdini trick of managing to get into my bed between me and Dylan without us knowing until we woke up! Please enjoy the champagne and forgive me for taking the liberty of booking a evening meal for you at the 'Cheney hotel' .its all paid for including drinks and it's only half a Mile away so you can both drink and then walk home. Enjoy your honeymoon lads. Love to both of you. Dad xx"

I cried and so did Luke.....

We sat, we cried, we drank the champagne.......

Luke started stripping and told me to get naked as the hottub is waiting!!

To get to the hottub we had to go out the back door, walk across a small patio and their it was bubbling away under one of them huge pub type umbrellas!

By the time we got in the hottub we were already soaked from the rain!

We got in, bloody hell it was hot! The bubbles were bubbling away and we sat with Lukes arm round my shoulders hugging me towards him...it was absolutely lovely...me and my hubbie in a hottub.....

I LOVE YOU LUKE WEBBER
