In looking at music sites and accommodations in Ireland, I saw this phrase, "Rooms En-Suite." What does this mean? Thank you.

The term used to be "ensuite bathroom" meaning each bedroom has its own toilet and washing facilites, rather than sharing communal facilities down the corridor, as used to be the case.

Now, ensuite is taken to mean the same thing.

Thanks, Noreen. I appreciate this very basic piece of knowledge. I thought it meant something entirely different.

The En Suite is two doors down from the El Suite with the Em Suite in between. If you come to the Oh Suite, you went too far. Hope this helps.

Is the Pee Suite the bathroom?

And the Queue Suite is where you wait for the communal facilities.

And Ar Suite is what you say when you see the nice little fold in the end of the toilet paper. Or the tiny and therfore useless bars of soap!

Oh-Suite! is what your friend says after you've returned from the Bidet!

And the Tea Suite is where you can get a cuppa.

This is all very well, but Sheila still hasn't told us what she thought it meant!

En-suite. From the French, literally "with chocolate".
This means you get little bon-bons on your pillow when taking up residence.
Tout suite, on the other hand, is to be avoided.
It means your room is overlooking the cab rank.

And 'too sweet' is self explanatory.

"Bee Suite" is in the Southern part of town,while "You Suite" is self explanatory and using it may get you those little extras that make a stay so meaningful.

I can't be bothered writing the whole gag, but does anybody remember the one with the punchline 'O-suite! Mr Rea of Life I've found you!' (Noel Edmonds, circa 1978 I think)

Wasn't that the one about a search for a 'gay' columnist of an American magazine, the punchline being:
Sweet Mr E. of 'Life' at last I've found you. ?

Trevor, Nigel, report to the duty torturer. A little off the ears, I think.
