Title: Manos reps
Post by: tubedude on March 23, 2008, 06:54:22 PM
Hey everyone

We're returning to Arillas this year, and are wondering who the Manos rep is going to be this year?

Last year it was the wonderful Helen, and we're hoping she's going to be the rep again this year... any ideas?

As far as I am aware, Helen is still thinking about coming back for this season...the option is there but there is also the possibility of some work at the Coconut. Watch this space....

The first time we came to Arillas our rep was Lorna (Olympic? Ask Anna. They got on well and we met her again in Annas bar later. She married a Greek man and lived happily ever after we hope.)

The next morning  I was wearing bright red shorts and matching tee shirt looking like a complete w****r and when she asked how was the hoilday I said I'd died and gone to heaven. She said she wished I had done so, but I didn't hear it. Jen did though - be warned!!!

She was English, but not as awful as most of us. Reps get a bad press. I couldn't do their work, but then I was a teacher - not many can do that!

lol
laughing out loud

I would love the stress of being a Corfu rep. But Jen just brought me down to earth "You have to be about twelve."

Ok then - I would just start a party in the Coconut - nobody would go to Kavos or Sidari. Easy to bribe the coach driver.... And the kids?

They would enjoy our place more than any of those others. Less stress. They all want to be wanted.

The sad bit is that all my friends would end up in Kavos, which was completely deserted.

12 or what?

The best Manos rep we ever had was Denise. Does anyone else remember her?

There arent that many manos places in arillas are there so you would be there for long, you would probably have to go somewhere else as well, like Sidari.  Sorry to put the "mockers" on it.

There were actually two Manos reps there last year despite there being fewer properties. In "the old days", Denise did all that herself.

For all those of you who are wondering about HELEN.  She is alive and well and living in sunny Southsea - in one of my spare bedrooms.  She has been here since November last year - don't think she has any plans to return to Corfu in the immediate future although I know she misses it.

Please pass on our regards to her, and tell her that she was miles better than this years rep

Will pass on good wishes etc to Helen.  She came to stay with us shortly after the end of last Season - the plan was that she would stay until she returned to Corfu in April but, of course, plans change - and she is still here.

She is fine - working in Portsmouth and making a life for herself here.  She and my daughter are pretty inseparable - and are to be regularly found staggering up the road from the local nightclub.  Not sure what the attraction is but the doorman/bouncer may have something to do with it!!!!!

Dont even get the free drink riggers

riggers, john,

the "free" ouzo would be better paid for and drunk in the Coconut with friends who are not trying to sell you expensive shopping trips to sidari.

independent all the way.........
