Unfortunately my leaky brain broke free of its cage again & went AWOL for a while, during which time it got to wondering.. What if the UMD's favourite Mucky Manor were to undergo a conversion to a Hotel.... A WAM hotel. (Hoping here that DM doesnt mind me doing a conversion on his place of residence whilst he was out ordering his weekly tanker of custard).
Anyhoo... Possibly the brochure might look a little like this.
Welcome to Saturation Hall Spa Hotel, the number 1 country retreat for the discerning Messy Guest. All our guests are provided with complimentary gunge filled wellies (refilled daily) during their visit. Our rooms all have luxury en-suite facilities with hot & cold running gunge showers & for those special occasions, we offer room service & our own take on a bridal shower
Enjoy the stunning grounds.. maintained by our dilligent ground staff headed by Groundskeeper Willomena She gets very into her job as you can see & is never happier than when fully immersed in the gardening process, or keeping Saturation Hall's famous Gunge fountains in tip top working order...
Enjoy our famour Messtaurant, which has just earned it's second Michelin Splat.
We pride ourselves on our service & should you want extra helpings, our Waitresses will happily serve you whatever you want... wherever you would like it. We also operate a takeaway service with free boot refills & have a self service messerie for those who like less formal dining. Oh, and we recommend you ask for the chefs special (her name is Sharon)
Of course, you must try out the hotels Spa facilities whilst you are here... We have our fully clothed bathing relaxation room, with your choice of mess... Our famous custard Jacquzzi experience an olympic size gunge pool for those who like a quick and slimy dip before breakfast and outside 'soft court' tennis facilities for those of a sporty nature
Sadly no, we have no intention of opening an hotel, the Hall and estate will be remaining very much private, but if we were to open a boutique hotel somewhere nearby, the spa town of Harrogate perhaps, these images would be very much on point, though there are a few minor issues:
The actual hall is of course "Jacobethan" in style, with substantial late 19th century modifications. The painting below (from Lady Jamine's Pre-Raphaelite collection, featuring one of her ancestors) is a little fanciful, but gives the idea. Willomina is not the groundskeeper, she's our occasionaly visiting German dominatrix. The staff in these scenes are way too clean, while they might start that way, nice uniforms are for getting messy in! Not enough boilersuits.
I do thoroughly approve of all the wellies though, we do have rules at the real hall that throughout the summer months staff's wellies must be kept well topped up at all times - in fact there's an unreleased scene where Maude gets punished for being found to have dry boots on. Well, we say punished - I think she kind of set herself up for it delibaretely to be honest. And yes, if we ran a spa, then filled wellies would definitely be part of it.
And just to clarify: We've no problem with fun tributes like this, as long as they are **not** based on images of any of our actual people, or anyone else real. I'm firmly on the side of "no AI images of real people without their full informed consent". Actual Saturation Hall and Langstonedale, and our download stores, will always feature only real-world WAM with live models. While I'm interested in and partly working in the AI field, we have no intention of attempting to sell AI WAM. Our content is 100% real, 100% of the time, what you see is what really happened in front of the camera.
I see.. I see... Perhaps this snap taken of some of the cheerful hotel staff heading home (or to the estate pub "the Boot & Pudding") at the end of their shift should be included in the brochure too then....
Jacobean building in rugged landscape... check Boiler suits... check Wellies.... check Ending shift several pounds heavier due to amount of gunge on & in clothing & hair... check Whisk annoyed at me for running the same prompt hundreds of times.... check
I'm not sure and it would go out of business. You can't commercialize these personal expressions or encourage them in any way. They must run their course. They were developed through personal means and factors through life. People are just unique and have many expressions they try to meet up with the right one. And they really are good films if your into it. And I guess you would have to show your face there. Where people are already disquised.
