Blimey, John, this was an optimistic booking, to say the least. I'm not surprised you were tempted, mind you, and if it wasn't for this forum I'd have been tempted myself. But I read her reviews, so that was that.
Had you not seen them, or did you read them and just think fuck it, I'm going anyway? I've done that myself often enough, when I've had the hots for a girl based on her profile pics, and defied her negative reviews....although come to think of it, I can't remember it ever ending well.
