It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.
Burchill was 41 at the hotel on business and planning to 42 some friends in the area. They had asked him to 43 some pepperoni （辣香肠） from back east. So he 44 a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was 45 that it would be too warm, he 46 it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was 47 and well chilled （冷却） and he 48 .
That's when things went 49 . “I remember walking down the long 50 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls,” Burchill said in a recent letter of 51 to the 4-star hotel. “The seagulls immediately went 52 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 53 at the same time, and pepperoni—everywhere. The curtains were falling down; the lamps were falling down. It was a real 54 .”
Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion （莽撞）.
“I have 55 and I admit responsibility of my 56 ,” he said in the letter. “I come to you, 57 , to apologize for the damage I had 58 caused and to ask you to 59 my lifetime ban from the hotel.”
His letter 60 . Banned from the hotel since 2001, Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.
