Watching The Wheels Come Off (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
These centres, with the greedy fingerprints of local burghers all over them, were inevitably portentous, ugly and erected on a prime location where nobody could ignore them. Each conference centre contained as many bars as space would allow. These bars are clustered around halls the size of the one in Valhalla. Here, and in all the surrounding hotels, politicians and business people get to fuck with each other, both fiscally and physically, once every year. Conferences make the world go around or, more exactly, give the appearance of making it go around. Like carousels, things tend to end up pretty much where they started. The conference centre at the Grand Atlantic Hotel was built three decades earlier on land at the back of the original hotel. In a vain attempt to compete with the big resorts, it has since attracted only a trickle of conferences from the smaller trade associations. Its two halls have witnessed passionate discourse and extensive debates on weighty subjects ranging from fast-tanning sunbeds, thermo-plastic housings, nail extensions, drycleaning, wedding videos, drain clearance, corrective walking devices, automated garage doors; in fact all manner of services designed to make human life bearable.
