One for Trip Advisor
One Friday night after work I took my girl to Sydney for a romantic weekend away. We got a discount room at a fancy place overlooking Hyde Park.

Well she got food poisoning from dinner.

So instead of going out, we went back to our room to watch Discovery channel as that's about all she was capable of.

We only saw a little bit of tele when the signal cut out. The front desk was not very helpful and somewhat evasive.

We had trouble getting to sleep because of all the trucks and sirens out the front.

Oh yes, figured that out when a voice announced over the hotel PA that the hotel was not on fire "any more".

The room was a discount because the floor above was being renovated. No need to set an alarm, the demolition hammers are complementary.

An alarm is indeed complementary to a demolition hammer noise wise.
you should have asked for a complimentary alarm call before the hammers started.
