The Shower Gel Oscars
Just to prove that I don't spend all my time thinking about football, work, beer, blondes and what I'm going to have for my dinner, I thought I would bring you the real Oscars... The Shower Gel Oscars. As some of you know, this is a constant irritant of mine, and not just caused by a dodgy capsule of Imperial Leather.
I for my sins spend a lot of time in hotel rooms and therefore it's showers and, not much gets on my wick except when you're standing in the shower all wet only to find, often at best, a thimble of shower gel or even worse nothing at all except a crusty bar of soap wrapped in cellophane.
Now, because I stay in a lot of hotels and like a shower in the morning and am very sad I have taken to writing down my shower gel experiences, sorry you seems to think that's unusual? Anyway to jump on the Academy Award bandwagon, I thought I would present to you the first annual Chicago Addick's Shower Gel Oscars™
"You want more?" the audacity to ask for more award
Winner: Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, Los Angeles.
This hotel was so up it's own arse that you daren't get dirty.
A close 2nd: The Fairmont, Boston
The nothing but water and thin air award
Winner: The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York
This famous landmark hotel has yet to realise that the world has moved on from Pears.
A close 2nd: The Park Hilton, Munich
The enough shower gel to wash Andy Reid twice award
Winner: The Walden Country Inn, Aurora, Ohio
In the middle of nowhere. I stay here a lot and only because it has more shower Gel than Boots.
A close 2nd: The Great Eastern, London
More next week when I will be judging the best hotel robes and how to get them in your suitcase without them appearing on your bill.... ¶ 00:58
