No, when you went to the dancing competition, last year. (And I noticed 
"our hotel room". ;-)

You will be long gone by then. Or in the confusion you could "borrow" 
someone else's towel.

Oh, right. In that case, no.

It's no secret that I was on a ski trip with several other people. It's 
not like I can afford to go by myself. Plus I don't speak French. 
(Unless you count knowing what "voulez-vous danser avec moi ce soir?" 
means as "speaking French". :-P )

You're English and as everyone knows. The way to speak French is to 
speak English but LOUD. ;-)

Well it was a thought.
Personally I would have skimmed the water off with my hands then used my 
dancing clothes to finish off. Unless you were wearing sequins.

So what did you do?

That would be funny if it wasn't true...

If my AI lecturer was anything to go by, if you're from Estonia and your 
students don't understand what "nabl" is, the thing to do is repeat the 
same sentence you just said, but louder. >_<

No sequins yet, just Spandex(tm). ;-)

> So what did you do?

Cover my entire body in toilet paper. (This takes a surprisingly long 
time, by the way.) That and limbo dance under the hand drier...

The same the whole world over. :-)

The mind boggles.

And that did not attract attention?

I bought a red shirt. I thought it was cotton, but it isn't. It's 97% 
cotton, and 3% spandex. ;-)

No. The walls prevent that.

Not a bad idea for dancing.
I was hoping to say "big girl's blouse" but I don't suppose I can now. ;-)

I only bought it because the picture looked good on Amazon. (Of course, 

from South Korea...)

Well, a blouse is merely a shirt worn by a girl, right? This shirt would 
probably look good on a girl. Not a girly girl, though.

As an aside, if YOU think you have the nerve to stand up in front of 800 
people and dance your arse off, be my frigging guest. :-P

A "big girl's blouse" is a northern saying. And it doesn't mean what you 
think it does.

Ooo! Get you.

I give you lots of credit for it. More power to your elbow.

You keep using that meme. I do not think it memes what you think it memes.

My elbow has already destroyed one life. :-S Hopefully they'll be no 
more of that!

The real test is Blackpool, of course...
