My wife recently awoke in the night to find me staggering out of our hotel room, bóllocks naked, confused as to why the bathroom had become so large and apparently lacked a toilet. :-(

An interesting double standard operates here, though. If a white person of English extraction grows up and spends their entire life in say China, Japan or India, we would almost never be happy to call them Chinese, Japanese or Indian, would we? And neither, I suspect would the locals.

So to an extent, one's nationality depends also on the extent to which the people of your host nation are prepared to accept you as being of their nationality.

I once woke up in a hotel somewhere in Yorkshire (I forget where) to discover that I had woken, drunk in the night, walked to the centre of the room and pissed on the carpet. :-(

Oh I was pÃ*ssed ok. My word, how pÃ*ssed I was.

Tonight is the first night back on the booze-free regime. I'm going to limit it to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I feel that's reasonable.

Glad to hear it. Now what might have been a tragic story of senescent decline is transformed into an uplifting tale of drunken roistering. :-)

At least I got out of bed :shrug:

Odd thing was, there wasn't much of a smell. It was almost pure water from what I could make out.
