[QUOTE=1Ball]
I think you were absent from the last Board of Director's meeting, where it was unanimously agreed that the marketing budget for 2007 had been grossly abused. So it has been reduced from the princely sum of 83 Baht to 65 Bt for 2008. And Giotto comped me 1/3 of a bowl of soup in advance, and is taking it out of your budget. Sorry.

WTF, you guys allowed Petemecc to join the Board? I quit!

...[/QUOTE]Dear Board Members, Mr. Vice President, Mr. Marketing Director, Sir Duniawala,
This reminds me that our finances are really a mess - everybody (especially all board members :( ) spends money, and nobody is watching the budgets. DP for breakfast, lunch and dinner - that's ok, but why filling up the Jacuzzis with it, a cheaper brand would do it either.
For that reason I was looking for a candidate to take over the resort of finances as CFO. First I discussed the issue with Piper1, who was basically in line with my ideas about not using DP for bathing, but he wanted to spend all that money for the dungeon... furthermore he suggested to close down the Sports Lounge and NOT to build the Presidential Suite but a Kindergarten to attrack more families with kids to visit Livingstone's Lodge. That was the moment when I stepped back and looked for a new candidate :) .
Just a few days ago I found one: Passinthrough. He is experienced in dealing with financial issues and will get our budget problems fixed.
On our next meeting I will therefor seek the support of the board to approve Passinthrough as the new CFO of "The Club of the Bestards".

[QUOTE=Giotto]Deja Vu,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks for your first report here
On Saturday 26th of January there is the [b]Swimming Pool Party[/b] here at Livingstone's Lodge. Makes sense that you come here - we will for sure show the Liverpool game on the screen.
Hope to see you soon.
Giotto[/QUOTE]A few nights back, I had a personal pre-show of the sexy outfits (black-on-black) for the pool party. I can only think that the pool water will be boiling!
My only regret is that I cannot be there...please save a little bit for my return.
[QUOTE=Giotto]Yin Yang,
LOL, I see what you mean, the only thing men and women have in common is the On-Off switch :) !
Giotto[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the only problem being that this switch is sometimes hard to find :D

New CFO? Great Dr. G. Now, even the 65 B budget for the Marketing Director is gone. Now will Passingthruogh be staying? :D
Of course, PT is welcome to be the CFO, as long as my dungeon budget is untouched (even though it's a measly 2 B).
Will be arriving on Feb 4, and will be there for 3-4 days. Would love to get together with all the board members.
Sounds great, I just wondering, is all the rooms full for 26th. It will be great if I can continue the party in the room :)
[QUOTE=Traveler1234]Mr. Chairman:
Is there a Valentine's Day party planned?
I just got email from client, informing me he's retiring and doing a farewell tour, along with his replacement. He asked me if i was free Feb 14th for dinner in Bkk. He normally stays at Novotel Lotus. In order to maintain an air of respectability, when I return, might have to stay at Novotel Lotus or least book a room there ;)
But I assume the dungeon is free for extracurricular activities - want to invite him over for a farewell 'drink'?[/QUOTE]
The Novotel really sting you for Internet access. I forget exactly but a few hundred Baht per day. L Lodge has free internet. Important for addicts.
Too late, Piper, Guido already spanked me last night.
I'm jealous. :(
[QUOTE=1Ball]Too late, Piper, Guido already spanked me last night.[/QUOTE]Mr. Vice President,
I was surprised about YOU and GUIDO last night, too. First, when you both met each other, welcoming each other, hugging, hugging ... I thought for a while we would see an act on the floor of the hotel lobby in front of all customers and staff... and then later this spanking around the pool ... and the way you looked at each other all evening.
Anyway, our CCTV cameras were on, I have all that on video, may be I can upload the interesting parts of that movie :):):).

[QUOTE=Piper1]Giotto - I think 1Ball is getting too philosophical in his old age. He needs a good spanking. Pay my airfare, and I'll come and sort him out.[/QUOTE]Pipeman,
Please, I need help with this guy, get you a ticket and come over here. Payment will be organized (charged to his room).

...[/QUOTE]Mr. Marketing Director,
There will not be a party, but usually Valentine's Day ends up with a huge party :):) . Two reasons for that:
Firstly we offer our [b]Valentine's Day Gala Dinner[/b] every year, candle light around the pool, and the gentlemen buying red roses for the ladies :) - we have to take care of the fact that this is the very day of each year when every man must PRETEND that he is very romantic (and not only interested in the daily 30 min. olympic bed activities with his wife, girlfriend, gik or - whatever).
Secondly it is MY BIRTHDAY!!! That usually ends up with a huge staff party. The staff party usually ends up with half of the staff being completely knocked out. And the final outcome is that the next day Livingstone's Lodge is basically run with emergengy survival plans :(.
A day later then everything returns to normal :). Life is hard ...

On a very well read and respected traveler forum, flyertalk.com, saw this post this morning:
[url]http://flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9126630&postcount=1[/url]
OP stayed there with his family ;)
During the last board of directors meeting, Giotto complained revenue was down. We cut the marketing budget, but that was not enough. We decided a completely new Livingstone brochure was in order. What better way to attract new business than to show the smiling faces of the Chairman, the Vice President, The TQM, and Sir.
So here, in all it's glory, is the cover of the new brochure. I am a bit shy, so decided to hide myself behind my Foster Grants. TQM is to my right, Sir to my left, and we all know the Chairman doesnt like to go in the pool, so he didn't even want get his feet wet.
