Don't know when they got rid of it, or when it was reinstated. But last March when I was staying there it had been deleted as a gift from the hotel. I asked the reception gals about them and they said no longer available. That's all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Never had much time for Ben, but he really lost me one new years eve... For those of you that know me, I consume maybe 4 g+t s and a bottle of red wine per year. On the NYE in question I rolled up to shhh, with th intention of dropping a few 1000 with a couple of friends, buying one particular girl a few drinks, prior to bf after midnight when the rates dropped. Started ok, drink for me, drink for her, mate had done the same, up jiggles Ben. "Evening mate" jiggle jiggle "happy new year", jiggle jiggle, to which I replied, politely. Ben looks at my orange juice... jiggle jiggle "orange juice mate?" Jiggle jiggle..."not going to have much fun on that are ya?" Jiggle jiggle. Walked off. Mate and I apologised to the girls, and check binned. Spent our money elsewhere. Girl called me the next day and came round in the afternoon. Her night was quiet, with no bf and only 3 drinks... she wasnt happy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtesy of the red button, I believe! Never forget the waitress' look of amazement as she repeated the order several times to check it was right, or the gobsmacked look on Haydn's face...!! He offered me a drink after I'd won a cap, and said that I'd never wear it. Edited July 10, 2019 by Painter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year it was my son-in-laws birthday whilst my Daughter was visiting me from the UK. It was also the annual firework display and Kevin invited us all to watch it from Mabilia where we had the most amazing view.

When I was General Manager I fought a continuous battle trying to get through to "HE you could not be criticised" that Secrets was effectively a bar and as such should sell just quality bar food not pretend we were some gourmet restaurant in Macau or Vegas. ps - Just for the record. You really are a nasty waste of space. I thought the food there was pretty decent on the whole actually. Would often go deliberately for a mid evening but snack and a few drinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
