Misadventures of a British Tourist

As politely summed up in the headline of a report on the Pattaya Mail website:

British tourist survives fall from hotel balcony into internet café after heavy drinking in Pattaya


As clarified in the headline of the report on the Daily Express website:

Brit tourist covered in poo falls through ceiling in Thailand red light district


And here’s how the latter report detailed what exactly happened:

An incredibly unfortunate British tourist had to be rescued after falling through a ceiling whilst covered in poo in a red light district in Thailand. Paul Hadfield, 51, from Blackburn, Lancashire, was allegedly 'extremely drunk' when he returned to his room in the early hours of Monday morning, November 4.

Staff said they heard groans and banging in the room but thought nothing of it - until Paul's legs came crashing through the ceiling of an adjacent internet cafe packed with gamers. Shocked locals called police as the naked holidaymaker cried for help with his legs dangling through the floorboards.

The balcony from which he fell was directly above the roof of the cafe.

However the drama wasn't over there. Officers were horrified when they checked the Brit's room at The Freelancer Hotel in Pattya, Thailand, and found excrement smeared across the floor.


Also from that report, this is what the police spokesperson was quoted as saying:

We have some ideas about what he was doing in the room to make it so dirty but there was nothing illegal.

It is his private life, so he will have to speak with the hotel to negotiate the bill.

Dump Trump Garbage Bags

I’ll let this report explain:

Creative studio Bear Meets Eagle On Fire has partnered with independent artists in the New York City area, on an anti-Trump design protest project.



The result is a series of orange ‘DUMP TRUMP’ garbage bags emblazoned with the contentious political figure’s face. The swollen orange bags, strewn across the city streets in Manhattan and Brooklyn just days before the election, are a visceral metaphor for a candidate who has run one of the most divisive and contentious campaigns for President, in US history.

Court protection against room being cleaned

Pretty much that, with a bit more.  Let me start with the headlines on a report out of Singapore:

Brother granted court orders against sister who repeatedly entered his room to clean it over 8 years


And this is the subheading:

The sister was also granted a personal protection order against her brother, who had assaulted her over her actions.

HR, as you may have never imagined

A new spot for traveltech company WeRoad takes its inspiration from slasher horror movies and presents a uniquely visualised portrayal of HR, befitting the genre.
