Ha ha. £39 crappo hotel. I did pay £3 for a sole occupier double instead of a single though :-)

I imagine quite a few places offer 'our sole occupier' deal when they see you amble in with your stuff trailing from a bunch of Morrisons carriers..

Well, if you're a proper contractor, then the only people who could have stolen it are either the staff or the other guests who have access to the executive floor.
Use your points from the hotel chain to buy a new pair.

A crime has taken place; report it to the rozzers and get a crime number and they'll do the work for you (possibly, if they've not got any more 70's celebrity alleged sexual misconduct cases to investigate first).

Yeah right. I'll get lots of interest from them. Waste of time...

They needed something to plug their headphones into.

Well roger me senseless with Swedish meatballs. Great news!

NLYUK said that will be an extra £50!

Good news. I think 99% of people these days will hand in things like this...

BUT not the scrote who picked my Bose headphones up that I dropped outside hotel room - gone 30 mins later and not handed in. Hotel did promise to check cctv and I keep emailing them but "manager hasnt done it yet". Two days ago - be pretty pointless in a bit.

Look forward to the reconstruction on CrimeWatch next week...

What's the best Sammy currently has to offer? No an Apple person. Sony Z5 ?

Can I suggest thinking outside the box and get a UleFone Power?

I ordered a new phone and went with the Sony Xperia Z5, luckily the place I ordered it from messed the order so after a week of being messed about I cancelled. Thank god. It might be a good phone but it's not £400 worth of good phone.

I then researched and found the UleFone Power, never heard of them, but thought 'what the hell' and dived in. Shipped from China in about 2 weeks, paid with Paypal so you're protected.

Had it a few months now and it's fantastic:

+ Battery last ~3 days in normal use.
+ Vanilla Android (no bloatware, no malware (beware some 3rd party dealers on Amazon can install stuff though)
+ Extremely slick, no lagging, no annoyances
+ Fingerprint Unlock
+ Full HD
+ 13Mb Sony Camera
+ Can tweak stuff with "MTK Engineer Mode"
+ Feels very well built, nice and heavy.
+ Supposedly a Marshmallow update coming, but the 5.1 it ships with is great.

Only negative is, yes it comes from China so if there was ever a fault, it's likely to be a ballache replacing it.

I took the risk and never looked back, oh it costs £120 too so I saved about £300 for a similar spec phone.

They found it! Someone handed it in to Ikea lost+found. Thanks whoever you are! Big banana or whatever!

Trying to unbar it now.

I thought contactors were rich feckers

Fecking chipboard coated in veneer thinner than a skin graft

Feck them ikea barstewards

IKEA is good for throw away furniture.

Plus their "lovely" Billy bookcases are virtually indestructible.
