General manners

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Ahh rush hour trains and tubes! That's where good manners can go out of the window unless of course a pregnant woman is involved.

You literally irritate me to distraction and make me feel quite sad for your family that they have you in their lives.. Seriously, if someone else had posted that I would not have even noticed but because I have this image of you at your home PC hitting those shift+1 keys, it just grates.

I know of no other poster on here that does that to me. Time for me to put you on ignore, methinks. I suspect I'm not the first to do that to you.

Am I being harsh in saying that this thread is a pompous load of old bollocks? Pats on backs all round for us all being so well-mannered - aren't we fantastic. I don't believe people are any more or less well-mannered than they have ever been.

When I was growing up, in the seventies, the following (among others) were taboo, at home or elsewhere: elbows on the table, licking knives, swearing, answering adults back, talking with a mouth full of food, and spitting.
I was brought up on one of the roughest council estates in Lancing, yet basic standards of behaviour were inculcated.
Nowadays, even richer kids behave like savages, and it is my generation that is bringing them up, so something has gone awry somewhere.

Well that's the trick ask the child if they have finished and make it clear there can be no return to the table. Then prompt the leaving the table request.

Do they have to sign anything?

wanking at the dinner table, burping in your Nan's face, bumming the Queen, eating grapes backwards.... that sort of thing?

Let me know next time you are under attack from a group of upper middle class savages, and I will arrive on horseback to save you.

If you said that what EVERY post Hove Born Inbred has EVER made was a pompous load of old bollocks, you still wouldn't be being harsh.

Yep.

We insist our lad (he's two and a half) asks before he can leave the dinner table.

"Please may I get down Daddy, I need to have a f***ing shit"

It's kind of you to offer, but I can fight my own battles, thanks. However, if I ever find myself cornered by a group of Palace fans then I will be happy to accept your help.

I HATE the whole no elbows on the dinner table 'thing'. Utterly pointless.

It's considered rude because you block the view of the person on your left from the person on your right, and vice versa.

An I thought you had me on ignore. No we don't encourage our children to use such language, I mean we are bordering on Hove after all.

As a moderator, it is my unfortunate duty to religiously scour the board, seeking out and removing those who cross the line of good taste and general niceness. All posts are scrutinised in great detail with a view to ensuring that the content is suitable for all and that unnecessary filth and depravity are kept well away from these pages.

I am delighted to advise you that, so far, this thread IS deemed suitable.

You are still a f***ing pompous bellend though.

How f***ing big you are elbows/arms?!?!? Sorry, I meant "Please may you tell me how big your f***ing elbows are, thank you?"

Manners cost nothing. A bloke barged in front of me this morning whilst waiting for the tube to Canary Wharf, so I looked at him in a very dissaproving manner - suspect he was French, but I have no proof of this.

Surely manner don't apply in tube situations? Survival of the fittest isn't it?

My biceps are something like this:

And my forearms:

Give or take a few feet.


Obviously it's not about totally blocking the view.

manners are definitely on the decline.........Hiney nearly made me do a small pee in my pants...

Have we established who is the most well-mannered member of NSC yet?

1. hb&b
2. adrianuk29
3.

Hiney, as a mod please could you set up some sort of poll, or perhaps we could have a competition round at someone's house? We all sit round and have dinner and the one who says please and thank you the most is the winner!! Anyone who is caught with elbows on the table or who refuses to pass the salt gets their head blown off by hb&b, who sits at the head of the table with a sawn-off shotgun.

The winner doesn't get an actual prize, but is rewarded instead with a warm glow inside and a deep sense of self-satisfaction.
