sometimes you don't express gratitude when in most cultures it's clearly called for. and it's not that you're ungrateful. you can clearly see gratitude, but non is expressed. it's like it's too awkward or something to say "man, i'm so grateful! thank you!"

or you offer a cup of tea as some kind of comfort or remedy, and its pretty much universally accepted as such. who gives a **** about a cup of tea? that **** don't help none *****.

the disdain for "layabouts" aint nothing wrong with laying about. it's one of my favorite things to do

the importance of manners and being polite. sometimes manners are placed above feelings or even health and safety!

but i love it! it's like little surprises when watching a show or going through life when i was traveling there

and obviously it's not all bad. sometimes a cup of tea is quite nice. and sometimes the manners are really great.

or like calling the queen "your majesty" but if you called her "your royal highness" then you're doing it totally wrong. and probably those are both ok. i don't even know. but maybe if you called her "lady elizabeth" that's obviously terrible? or you could never just go up to her and give her a hug.

i keep meaning to make a youtube video where i ask her out on a date.

in the reality show "ladies of london" this american woman wore a hat and all the brit ladies were laughing at her because who wears a hat?!?!

you are not allowed to touch the queen or speak to her unless spoken to

Dos and Don'ts when meeting the Queen

I saw a video the other day on facebook that included a clip of a celebrity who was maybe in an airport or something, and a female fan recognized him and gave him a spontaneous hug and jumped up and wrapped her legs around him. She was clearly harmless but the guy's two bodyguards completely freaked out and were desperately trying to peel her off of him. I found it amusing.

xander, the protocol mod.

that's nice. i like that

i think me and the queen would make a good couple

Ban filthy

Ah, yes, the old August-December relationship.

Just a warm January day in Sydney. Might want to pack a jacket for later.

My mind for some crazy unknown reason just merged these two posts together.

if i was dating the queen i'd dress like this



im thinking of dressing like this anyway

Dress attire.




Day to day wear.

this british woman just accidentally knocked over a cup and made a huge mess. it was obvious she felt terrible, but she didn't say "sorry" or anything. she didn't say a word.

You mean you don't already?!?

Also: Is that Ricky Schroeder?

lol nah, it's too expensive to dress like that

and not sure if you're joking, but it's not rick shcroeder. it's this guy who i get the impression(just from watching the tudors) that he thinks he's an amazing actor, but he's not. jonathon rhys meers or something like that

What have you done with the real filthyvermin?

im a huge nit in many ways. i get excited that we get a $3 discount on food for playing in the high limit section.

i get tilted out of my mind if i don't sit at the table right after :30 or after :00 because the take collection every half hour

i get anxious going to the bathroom because i'm leaving the poker table that i paid time to play at. same with when people are taking too long to make decisions. "*****, i paid time for this ****. we are on the clock here mother****er"

the shoes i wore today are over 15 years old

What’s the correct way of addressing an archbishops?

How do you use a pear spoon?

When is it acceptable to take off your dinner jacket?

When do you toast the queen during dinner (& who is allowed to say “god bless her”)?

What should you do if “the bishop has got stuck”?

.

i ran into a coppola at the casino tonight. i said "hey, what's up. we shot that movie together last year" and it was true!

Francis Ford or Sophia?
