Re: Better manners than a chimp????
I got 9/10 the dog fart through me
As if you'd move away & let everyone think it was you
Come to think of it doesn't everyone blame the dog?

See...contrary to popular belief, we do have some well mannered, sophisticated individuals on BE.

Re: Better manners than a chimp????
The only etiquette I know at formal dinners is basically to have fun, pay attention to other people and not be a complete peasant by trying too hard. I took a girlfriend to a formal dinner who did this, handled her cutlery in a sort of anal style whilst my wife on the other hand does all these things in her stride- she passed the test lol.
Anyone knows you can make up for little mistakes with politeness, showing interest and talking to everyone. And you can always start from the outside or wait until someone else gets it wrong.
Even at some formals I attended the port was stuffed up and some wag pissed in his glass under the table on account of missing the toilet break.

I only got 6!! But I do tend to pick the first answer without reading them all.

Doing everything formal is so tedious and uncomfortable. I'm too upbeat for all that sort of stuff, i just want to relax and have fun. If a dog farts at the side of me, it would just say it as it is ''It was the dog, not me"

Re: Better manners than a chimp????
Many is the time we've done the formal thing, told ourselves how great we are, toasted the Queen, then ended up getting pissed and throwing the furniture around anyway or trying to get from one end of the room to the other without touching the floor.
I've had the best times at these bashes that some would turn their nose up at in the name of reverse snobbery. And the girls!!!

I reckon there is a time and place for things.

Christ - it all comes back:
how embarassing - I used to be a member of an club in the City of London where you could get a feed for 5 quid providing - providing you wore a jacket.....
the balls were blinding.
Downside - women were allowed in, this was the 90s after all, but they had to remain outside the 'room' (the bar) - I ask you!
Remember once being at Henley and a group of lads (looked like a football team) turned up all in their polyester shirts with nothing but cold beer. They were sneered at my some, but then these same sneerers were all up the tent sides, blind drunk, by 11pm, having it away with their guests on the grass.
