Taking a moment's reflection, nobody760 mused:
| | That brings back memories. Twenty years ago I toured Southern Ireland. I | stayed in a hostel where an enormous German - and I mean bloody enormous, | kept the whole of the men's dorm awake. I picked up my mattress and slept | in the common room. It makes me chuckle now but sure as hell didn't then. Reminds me of staying in a hostel in Dublin during, what I dubbed, the 24 Hours of Noise Festival ... I was down in the Temple Bar area staying at Barnacles. It was bad enough that this was the night that they rolled the empty Guinness kegs down the brick road, but we had a snorer as well. Likely as big as your German was, this Argentinean was small. But, lord, could he belt out a snore. At that point it had become so obnoxious, I began chuckling to myself. A moment later, I could hear the lass (co-ed) in the bunk below chuckling as well. So, we decided to go tap into my whisky flask instead of lying there in futility. |

ear plugs and wake the person up and ask him to sleep on his side, less
snoring, but a pillow our daypack at his side so turning is not posible "bowerm" schreef in bericht om... i'm just back home in san francisco bay area after a marvelous trip to scotland and england where i stayed in four youth hostels over the course of two weeks. i just love youth hosteling international...but i have one question. is there nothing that can be done about hostelers who have major...and i mean major...snoring problems. i went to bed early one night at the st. pancras hostel in london and was woken up by the bunk literally shaking due to the snoring of the man in the bunk below. i tried to sleep through it but it was impossible! after an hour or so of this i went to the reception desk and asked to be moved but the attendant said there were no open beds and nothing that could be done about the snorer! another roommate told me the next morning (after i slept on the couch in the lounge!) that the snorer told him of his problem when they first met. so? at that point you've already paid for your bed. seems to me hostel reception could post a polite sign at the desk asking snorers to identify themselves as such so they could be bunked in the same room. i had this same problem at the youth hostel in santa cruz, california, earlier this year. the snoring was so loud from another roommate that i actually left the hostel at 12:30am and went and got a very expensive motel room. any other suggestions? sleepy in california |

When I woke up I was actually pushing the bed above me off it's frame by at least a couple of inches. The German guy in the top bunk never said a word about it but he must have thought I was some kind of maniac or something. I think you got off lucky. That is brilliant! -- "It's too late to be late again |
