In my distant and more foolish youth, as a junior pilot, we were on a short detachment at an overseas NATO airbase. Whilst drinking a cup of tea (in an attempt to offset a pint too many from earlier in the evening) I was offered a "Golden Globes" award at very close range from an attractive member of an allied force (you can read into that what you will). I was told later that I inadvertently disrespected the lady's kind offer by falling asleep on her sofa instead, much to the chagrin of the lady involved. I never lived it down with a certain Flight Commander of the time. He continued to remind me of it many years later.

These days I wouldn't do any different....my hobby is nodding off on the sofa. In these uncertain times, probably for the best anyway.
