The ads Google serves up when you are searching for philosophy terms are often a bit odd.
The service is iffy, the staff are surly, but 80% off is pretty good! What’s the alternative, when you get right down to it?

Yes but Nick, I think there may simply be something about the nature of acquiring continental breakfast at the Hotel MV that requires these agonistic tendencies, however violent and reminiscent of The Drones Club the rolls-throwing may look to an outsider.
