One exception tho. .was Dirk's skipping

You can always tell the calibre of breeding from one's manners and overall etiquette. Some HM's have been dragged up in Pikey paradise methinks

Karma

OOh Olly, I still dream about that too

that is spot on Bursar, it was like that  Like of bunch of luvvies looking at the reviews 'Ah, you were mahvellous dahling, a Triumph *mwah mwah*' 

 Golflinks Estate School of Deportment and Manners 

anyone else remember dale permanently holding his manland area?......

ewwwwwwwwwwwww yes ..

cracking ant olly, the only person that instantly comes to mind  that often says  'thankyou' is mario.

I agree...and holding knife and fork with a fist/ speaking with mouth full e.g. Dave

These are quite possibly the most minging house mates in history 

However, I have heard Josie and Mario say thank you but none of the others.  

They (the hms) are quite happy to live in muck and filth and congratulate themselves on any 'surface' cleaning they do   I feel queasy looking at them eat and my dog has better table manners than some of them.  I don't think they saw the irony of the house being flooded and then cleaned by the BB team 

HAHAHAHAAAAA!!! *splutter*

oh yah *sits up straight and stops dunking biscuit in tea*

I copped a feel the other day under the duvet :fnar:

Well there's no denying you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's anus, no matter how hard one tries

I thought it was a sow's ear

*horrific mental image*

It is, but some ears do have the potential to be visually acceptable. An anus, on the other hand.....

is crying out for a Daffodil to make it look presentable maybe?  

*splutters again*

I agree with your post dont like to watch him eat and speaking with your mouth full is horrible, Josie for me manners were worse cleaning the plate off with her fingers then licking them not sure if she spoke with her mouth full .. she just carried on eating

Ah, Olly, always there with the bon mot - that's a cracking one

Ahhhh Marg that's gross,I hate it when folk lick their fingers and make that horrible noise,if I eat a bag of crisps I have to have a tissue or napkin to keep cleaning my fingers,I can't be going with finger licking tbh...Colonel Saunders and his finger licken chicken would love me,not

 I remember my brothers g/f now his wife(she is a well respected surgeon ) licking her fingers after eating a packet of crisps and my father & nana nearly had a fit of the vapours. I think it took my sis in law to become a doctor, nay a surgeon, before Nana thought she was good enough for the family.

 aren't Nanas great?

 Lee I am the same but it is usually kitchen roll

When I was little and found a meal so delicious that I wanted to lick the plate or drink the last dregs from the bowl my mother would say "if you want to behave like that you can go in the kitchen" (we always ate in the dining room) and I would duly go into the kitchen and indulge in the forbidden act out of sight of decent folk.  It occurs to me that these days, and in the BB house, everyone seems to eat in the kitchen, so i suppose there's nowhere to go to be 'disgusting' and table manners don't matter because you're 'only in the kitchen'

I think I'd have got on fine with nana....I was so fussy when my kids were learning how to spoon feed themselves and tbh think I passed on my bit of OCD about clean hands to them,(my grandson is the same poor darlin)....I was terrible making sure they ate with their mouths closed using their knife and fork properly ,same with my grandson but his other granny who has 4 grand-daughters who live locally to her is amazed how well mannered he is at the table as he's only 2.

Lee, youre little grandson sounds gorgeous..what a little dote

Glad I'm not alone.Pizza I eat with a knife and fork,a burger is cut into manageable pieces,oh another thing I cannot stand is folk opening their mouths sooooo wide to cram in food you can almost see their tonsils.

Monk Dave does that

He's a quick learner FF,he sits at the table here with his *big boy* knife fork and cup like a little man.

Why am I not shocked FF?....I've been known to walk out of restaurants because of folk with bad table manners being near me, it wouldn't matter how hungry I was the sight or sound of it I'm gone.

Lee thank God it's just not me.I really thought I was alone regarding this. I've asked to change tables  in restaurants if I'm facing a messy eater.

*** wonders whether forum therapist has any appointments free *** 

I wouldn't mind having a chat with them either

If I'm ever in your neck of the woods and see someone else leave a restaurant because of a messy eater I'll know it's you.

Same here Mount Olympus.....  My mum always said *good manners don't cost anything*....... something I have passed on to my kids... and they have passed on to the grandkids.

I'm a right stickler for manners in kids. I find it repulsive when you see kids with their mums out shopping and they're spitting on the floor, talking to their mum like dirt and generally being little gobshites. It also grates right on my jacobs when I hear of these little gits on buses who wont offer their seat to elderly or disabled people If EVER I was told my son carried on like that I'd wring his bloody neck (so would his dad)!
