    Thanks for the explanation - the problems did seem a bit out of character. I thought that it was the humidity downstairs on Sunday that was causing the floor problems, due to the lack of ventilation... sweaty floors basically

    Fantastic weekend overall

    Just one thing (apart from the awful chalet), - I thought the CoZ room lost a bit of it’s “magic” that I usually find come 5:30 in the morning… it just seemed a little more “main-room” for some reason on both Sat & Sunday morning. It seemed much busier than usual, and the music generally seemed faster,…. - couple of specifics on Sunday morning, - Black Velvet and Cyclone (acapella) – great tracks usually, - but both were definitely speeded up

    I had a bit of a curate's egg type of weekend - good in parts

    Could not have been too bad as I made it to the end all 3 nights.

    Would have liked to hear a bit more bluesy music played in COZ, which at times felt more like a main room but with decent music. Sadly I missed Locoman's true blues set.

    The rooms were far too hot and this made it very unpleasant at times. The sound system has been mentioned, so enough said.

    I tried the milonga a couple of times and actually enjoyed it.

    The highlight was winning the quiz!! getting 8/10 on the porn round and finding out that sunnybunny knew what a donkey punch was (what a dark horse)

    I do feel that I need to defend myself (before anyone gets the wrong impression) in that I am 99.9% sure I learned this particular snippet of trivia by following a link to wikipedia posted on a thread on this very forum a few years ago.

    Hey David - should you not be just a little gosmacked to find how good we are at this round

    I think it's a chance for Obi's Sweat band to show off his film collection.
