""A slippage in manners is obvious to many Americans. Nearly 70 percent questioned in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll said people are ruder than they were 20 or 30 years ago. The trend is noticed in large and small places alike, although more urban people -- 74 percent -- report bad manners, then do people in rural areas, 67 percent.""

Obviously "Her Royal Harrogateness" was in the remaining 30%!!! :rolleyes:

Rushie, Its too bad you didnt concentrate on other things. If you live here in America, why are you so unhappy. I eat with my hand on my lap, cut meat with my fork and probably do smack once in awhile! I was raised with good manners, we are just different..... Its too bad you dont get a life and ences and accept them, excuse me if the spelling is wrong, I refuse to use a dictionary like rushie!!

Oh please don't beat up on my favourite guy. He's here to educate the Americans, one American at a time.... ;) He's just the best thing ever. I'm so glad he arrived here on American soil. Now we can really learn how to act/live/and do everything right. Now, do go ahead Rush, and tell us what to do next, I can't wait. :)

A wee bit familiar to be calling me "Rushie' without being formally introduced isn't it? Who said I am unhappy in the US? For your information, I am never happier than when I am complaining and I do that alot in the US (as I did in the UK), therefore I am ecstatic to be here. :)

I thought he was venting? Did someone stop him? Who? I'll have a word with them. ;) :mad:


Anyway, sorry to be your "obligatory interfering yank" but I find that I'm an expatriate as well, just can't figure out from which country as yet. :o

Ahhh....I think I will have to fore go the lovely pleasure of being nice to you. Its physically making me sick. So, while I think there might be a nice guy hiding in there some place. You'll have to work harder than swinging your arms like the Neanderthal you've obviously never evolved from. ;) Night night.

No sorry ..........I'm pretty much the sarcastic, Neanderthal, uncivilised, ill mannered, perverted, piss taking sonofabitch you thought I was...but I got a nice smile though. :)

I do agree with Ray on one thing, Rushman you are a "Tosser" and Ray can claim you for his own.
As for your poor unfortunate wife, she must say to herself "Bloody Argumentitive S.O.B., why the hell didnt he stay in the UK" If you complain so much on here, you must be busy doing it at home.

Do you poke your nose into your husbands business as much as you poke it in to mine? If so, no wonder he sighs a huge sigh of relief everytime you decided to go on a cyber nagging spree. I can picture him now, in his "I'm the boss" apron doing the dishes and thinking "Hoo******ingray" anytime you get off his back and head towards the computer.

As for my wife. She wakes me up every morning gazing adoringly into my eyes and hands me my morning tea, 2 slices of marmite on toast, glass of fresh orange juice and the days newspapers. Kisses me gently on the forehead, smiles and asks if I slept well (with a cheeky wink) then wishes me a lovely day and tells how lucky she feels to have me.

Perhaps you would prefer to be married to me!!....As you obviously feel a constant need to complain and I would give you plenty to complain about.
