When I was young, I was taught that the person with whom I was spending the evening (evening, boys, not night - that came later, much later...) was all-important and that, if I wanted to repeat the exercise (or improve upon it) I had to behave in a certain manner.
Earlier this evening, I watched a quite lovely, well dressed young lady sashay towards me followed by, to be frank, a heap of sh*t, who was bellowing into a mobile telephone. She turned round and yelled at him "stop ****ing talking to her and talk to me...".
My thoughts immediately turned to ARRSE - well, it was actually the fluent manner in which she swore at him that reminded me of ARRSE.
What are the pearls of wisdom with regard to courting that you learned at your mother's breast, and are they still relevant to today?
I will start with:
Always walk between the lady and the road.
Always carry the umbrella to protect your date from the rain.
The gentlemen always pays for dinner.
A gentleman never swears when with a lady (nothing was ever said about ladies who could swear worse than any trooper I have ever met...)
