Discipline this
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007
The General Manger wants to issue a disciplinary to me and my two friends. I guess he’s pissed off that a number of guests swindled their way out of paying for about £300 worth of drink on Saturday by faking signatures all night.
You see, when a guest arrives at the hotel they can preauthorise their room account with their credit card which allows them to charge goods and services to that account during their stay. Everything is tallied up to a single bill which is paid for at reception. At the time of check-in, they are issued with a room charge card which has on it the booking name, the room number and signature of the card holder. When a guest wants to charge to their room account, we staff are required to ask for this card for proof of residency in the appropriate room. The customer must then sign their itemised till receipt which is retained by us and used as evidence of purchase should there be any queries by the customer when they come to pay their final bill.

Alien

Alien was a ground breaking movie and film making at its best. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I love this film (unlike its immediate sequel, which is ace!) but it definately tugs at the heart strings. Based on concept and delivery alone, this film scores five stars. The cast and crew do an absolutely superb job of pulling together a story that has thrills, action and edge of the seat suspense. This is definately what Sigourney Weaver went to acting school for, and she totally sold herself out in some of her recent stuff.
Some might say the moderately slow start to the movie is boring and enough to develop an underlying grudge that will ultimately put you off the entire film, but if you can overlook that this film is a real winner and worth watching, if anything, to see what all the fuss is about.
I bought the two disc special edition for my collection as it was a mere £6.99 on play.com and as this is the predecessor to what remains one of my favourite films of all time, I had to have it.
