**errata**
OK, sorry, gotta 'fess up; in the interest of accuracy and truth etc
when somebody wouldn't show up at a KTV party I've arranged...and the rest of the guys insist that I should still "charge" the guy for being a "No-show" (yeah - right..me and whose army to go and collect this)
The above never actually happened; yeah there had been a few times when we'd arrange for a particular size/minimum charge KTV room, taking into account the supposed "Sure, I'll come's" we'd have to do the booking ... and then somebody or other would not show up. Worse, there had been time that the majority of these plonkers would at the last minute cancel out and the rest of us would haplessly then just need to cancel the whole KTV room booking; bookings which, especially on week-ends, can sometimes be very hard to get/would require having to go through a manager/KTV mommie (who has a quota of these rooms) and who really gets pissed if they cannot heave off the room that we cancelled to another party.
Anyway, when we still went ahead with the KTV night even when some of these guys did not show up, it meant that the larger room (and higher minimum charge and additional KDJ etc) would actually not have been required. Like I said, these things happened more times than we all would have liked and there was of course the grumbling along the lines of what I had relayed in my last post. But there had never actually been an occasion when the rest of the guys would NOT have just paid a share of the total bill.
But such happening is only one of the quite a few problems with arranging for anything for guys coming up to CP - and I am so glad that now, there ARE professional agents who would be handling all these petty ass things, leaving us guys to just enjoy it all.
SEAN - red-faced!
