    "If you believe you're finished, you ARE finished". Quote of the week for me!

    They have no budget ... they should tell your man from last week that Robert Mitchum stayed there once. He had deep pockets.

    Francis - "Catch 21"

    John - "That's why I do the figures"

    Francis will be getting worried that he is becoming second favourite to the dogs on the show.

    All that "wellness" and "retreat" stuff just brings me out in hives.

    They should have a DIY weekend, guests could practice in the premises.

    Who would have thought a bit of blue paint would make such a difference?

    Phoarr, I don't even like seafood, but that buffet looks A-MAZ-ING!

    I'd go there for a set-dancing week in the morning.

    Colours are about a million times better than what was there when Francis first arrived!

    I did a few stints with Glenans in Baltimore and in Clew Bay - that was a mainstay of their operation, discounted weekends once or twice a year where everyone chipped in and did the place up and maintenance. Wasn't done to the highest professional standards, but kept it from falling down. Well worth considering.

    Here's an article about this week's and last week's businesses ... it doesn't have much detail but it does have this quote
    “I’ll bring my pom-poms,” promises Francis.

    See, spelling is to me what loo roll is to Francis (and me too, if I'm honest, I'm considering couselling) - hence the confusion.

    Good one though :D

    I do enjoy this show, but I think it has gone a little meh.... of late. Don't know why, but just think they are not as forceful enough with the owners, as they used to be in previous series.

    Anyway yer man Francis is a scream.

    And that place has got SOOOOO much potential. The views! my god.

    Hope they do ok in the end.
