Ha ha, this is the first time I've watched it, hilarious! The programme makers have their tongues in their cheeks, I liked the digs at Anthea. Very amusing and although I doubt I'll watch it again it IS bizarrely fascinating, ikwym Caligula.

You missed a great new towel trick whereby you fold up your guest towel to make it into the shape of a tortoise's body, and use a folded up facecloth as the head. WTF?

The tortoise things was hilarious, I mean, as a guest you'd be so devastated to get to your guest room and find that your towels weren't folded in the shape of a tortoise wouldn't you? And what if there was no typed label on the ibuprofen saying 'hangover cure' well, how would you know what it was! Fantastic stuff.

I was also impressed (well, amused) that the other woman took it one stage further and did her towels in the shape of a pigGrin. I do remember a colleague at work telling me about her cruise in Egypt, and every evening the staff folded their towels in a different shape. Bet there are websites where we could learn how to do it....

Does the fact that it's hungry make it too scary for your DS, Cod?

So if any of us ever have another MNer to stay, it should be a requirement to have folded their towel like a bat, don't you thinkGrin?

I was actually quite impressed with the cut the pop bottle in half and turn the top part upside down in the bottom part to make a no-spill-painting-water-pot trick.

yes, it's those little gems that I enjoy watching it for. All the faffing with towels is boring though
