Well the sign outside has four stars on it. (I checked as I walked down the road trying to find somewhere that served food not cooked in tallow.)

“Night porter” you say. You’re setting a worryingly high bar…

Further to my previous question - is it normal for four star hotels to have neither air conditioning nor windows that open more than an inch?

Concerned, but also VERY VERY hungry.

No deliveroo, no Just Eat, no four star, no dominos, no apache, no Pizza Hut. It’s hike for a spice burger or nothing.
I do like your idea of fighting 6-year-olds though. I think that’ll let off some steam (that’s what you’re suggesting right?)

No, the six year olds are all awake and beating the lining out of each other in the corridors. Maybe the hunger has made them tetchy..

Ha! That’s what it feels like! Stump up at restaurant at 8.15 - “Kitchen’s closed.” Eh, what?
Other options include - hiking to a chipper/eating own feet.

You elicited several polite responses from me, none illicit.
Me pointing out that your endorsement of a book is less than ringing is not impolite. (It is to the author. But he’s dead. And to the book. But it’s inanimate. Also shite.)

Jaysus, hardly a ringing endorsement. ‘I like some of the characters and I like an event related to the book’.
“It changed my views on something. It made me happy, sad, joyful, despairing. It spoke to me, it resonated with my experience.”
No. I like some characters and posh people in straw hats.

But that doesn’t answer why you like it? Great it’s different each time, but for any one time, what do you like about it?

Well feel free to deliver an opening gambit and partake in one.

I find an actually ‘good’ book makes people talk about the effect it had on them ‘it made me cry’ ‘it changed my understanding of poverty’ ‘it caused me to reconsider what equality means’ ‘it made me laugh’. Everyone who ‘likes’ Ulysses talks about it like an art piece in an elitist museum.
