I get loads of emails from PR companies spinning the latest pap and if there's one thing that currently makes me want to throw the laptop out the window its reading the words 'boutique hotel'.
I'd rather overnight naked in a Turkish Prison than admit I've had a weekend in something called a 'boutique hotel'.
Funny how a couple of words can hit that spot, eh. What terms rile you, or do I just need anger management?

Quite. As far as I can establish it's a hotel that's had a lick of paint, thrown a few scatter cushions on an old sofa, hung modern art in the bogs and employed a luvvy PR company to work on the press release.

Is a boutique hotel where they have designer furniture? as if all furniture, and just about everything else wasn't designed by somebody. Another infuriating label which usually means something costs more than it is worth.

Seeing Ewan Mcgreggor on the back of a magazine flogging "Adventure" Aftershave made me throw up in my mouth one morning..

Touring Ted,
Speaking as a woman... seeing Ewan McGregor looking like that could stir many an emotion or reaction... but, throwing up is NOT one of them!!!
Ah…but those immortal words from our ever helpful hotelier Mr. McCooney: “Once ye pop ye cannae stop. Ye cannae stop! Ye cannae stop! Apart from the sour cream and onion flavour which I find a trifle bland!”
