    Devil worship?

    Stayed at a large budget hotel last week for a course in London, I booked at the last minute - £100ish per night.

    Was surprised to see a large luminous pentagram which was painted on the wall near the door of the room - noticed it on the last night at about 3.30am (nocturnal trip to the bog).

    Tried to explain to the guy on the receiption in the morning but it got somewhat lost in translation...

    There can't be many walls in London now that don't have a luminous pentagram painted on them.

    You get used to it.

        What way up was it? The symbol associated with the 'dark arts' is the inverted pentagram (2 points at the top and one at the bottom) . If it was one of those you wouldn't see me for dust. Not that I'm superstitious or anything - just reminds me of some of the prepostrous heavy metal that pals of mine used to listen to back in the day.

          I had this once.

          During the night my head spun around six times and thick green gunge projectile vomited across the room.

            It was your backwards spider-crawl down the stairs that confused him.

              Back in India, Pentagram is one of my favourite pop groups:

              Very good group. Very good.

                Have you ever been in a film over here, with a bird called Truly Scrumptious ?

                    When i was in halls at Uni, somebody had done this picture of Hitler on my notice board. It was done by painting in the shaded/dark parts of his face on the white notice board. It looked quite good but seemed a bit odd heading off to the land of Nod under the gaze of one of the biggest mass murderers of all time.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!
