I'd got back from the pub and not noticed the female doors were pink and the lads blue. Honest, that's my story and I'm stickin to it. John B Oh!! You mean Sam is NOT short for Samantha?? :-) |

Last time I went to one of the Ironbridge hostels I discovered in the morning that I had ended up in a female room. My female companion had a room to herself, though we expect it probably was a male dorm. When we checked in with the warden she gave us our keys, then swapped them over. Seems she was right first time. And I can vouch for the fact that women do snore! -- Warning: This user suffers from narcolepppppppppp ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp |

I remember once I was occupying a bottom bunk. I must have had a funny dream or something because I was convinced I was trapped inside some kind of box. When I woke up I was actually pushing the bed above me off it's frame by at least a couple of inches. The German guy in the top bunk never said a word about it but he must have thought I was some kind of maniac or something. I think you got off lucky. "bowerm" wrote in message om... i'm just back home in san francisco bay area after a marvelous trip to scotland and england where i stayed in four youth hostels over the course of two weeks. i just love youth hosteling international...but i have one question. is there nothing that can be done about hostelers who have major...and i mean major...snoring problems. i went to bed early one night at the st. pancras hostel in london and was woken up by the bunk literally shaking due to the snoring of the man in the bunk below. i tried to sleep through it but it was impossible! after an hour or so of this i went to the reception desk and asked to be moved but the attendant said there were no open beds and nothing that could be done about the snorer! another roommate told me the next morning (after i slept on the couch in the lounge!) that the snorer told him of his problem when they first met. so? at that point you've already paid for your bed. seems to me hostel reception could post a polite sign at the desk asking snorers to identify themselves as such so they could be bunked in the same room. i had this same problem at the youth hostel in santa cruz, california, earlier this year. the snoring was so loud from another roommate that i actually left the hostel at 12:30am and went and got a very expensive motel room. any other suggestions? sleepy in california I recommend to cut out the hair inside of the nose of that individual, if this fails, cut the nose off its socket and educate the air flow to the nearest available orifice |

DUH! I never go to a hostel without earplugs. These guys still rocked
the room...through the earplugs. Peter Clinch wrote in message ... bowerm wrote: any other suggestions? Ear plugs. Pete. |

After a visit to the local pub we retired quietly to our dorm. I couldnt sleep. I was in the top bunk and the other side of the plywood partition was a moron with a sleep problem. All was quiet until we became aware of this guys breathing getting faster and faster and faster - then it stopped. He didnt breathe for what seemed a hell of a long time and then his body noisily convulsed as his lungs desperately sought air. The bunk and the partition rattled This pattern was repeated over and over and over. People shook him, woke him, spoke to him, shouted at him nothing made any difference. I took a blanket and went out on the landing to sleep. I never found out his name, but he must have been exhausted thru lack of sleep. We were. I'm told he and his close friends and family must have known he had this problem. To me its the height of anti social behaviour to deliberately impose a known problem like this strangers in a dormitory. |
