Off Topic This is the time I like to call the 'gentlemen' hour

Takes me back to the first time I had sex.

Only kidding, but I felt that joke needed to be put there.

 

Anybody watch cricket? Its simply spliffing

 

I knew somebody would

Didn't think it would be you though

 

I have a degree in Tone Lowering.

 

You utter rotters. Be orf with you I say.

 

Not from one of those ghastly red brick Universities I hope!?

 

Quite

 

I heard it was merely Durham. We can only guffaw, old bean.

 

Absolutely! Couldn't he get into Oxford or Cambridge? He'll be telling us he didn't go to Eton or Harrow next!

 

I got my degree at Harvard actually.

 

You go too far, old man. I doubt I could live with myself were it to transpire that I'd been conversing with such a barbarous philistine.

 

Not your fault old bean. When one is a gentleman in a gentlemans club one expects ones associates to be gentlemen too. Rather poor form of him not to wear his Grammar School tie so that we know he isn't a man of breeding! What!!

 

It is Harvard as it turns out. Quite telling wouldn't you say, my good man?

 

And to think there are people who really act like this in the world .

 

More interestingly, I'm barely having to adapt my usual pretentious vocabulary.

 

Colonial education eh! Say no more. A nod's as good as a wink and all that ...

 

Was considered a crime to pass the port the wrong way round the table

Edit: So do you know the Bishop of Norwich?

 

So that's why you have to pass a joint to the left!

 

Degree coming in handy again

Yeah I guess so ... pass the Dutchy on the left hand side

 

Speaking of weed, earlier this year I was stopped by German police on an autobahn because they actually thought I was a notorious dealer, smuggling 20 thousand euros worth of weed from the Netherlands. Had us out and searched, then turned the car inside out before drugs testing us and letting us go with a goodbye that had undertones of 'you got away with it.. this time!'. Was quite freaky.
