No Snogging, You Swines!
The British have always been a refined and proper people, which is why they might be the only country that consults (or even has) an etiquette authority.
Debrett's has been advising the Brits how to act properly for almost 100 years, and this year, they are advising gents to be classy this holiday season when kissing under the mistletoe. Due to the outbreak of swine flu, advisers of Debrett's are suggesting people only kiss each other on the cheek instead of the lips to avoid spreading the disease.
Doesn't sound like anyone is going to have much of a X-Mas bash in jolly ole England this year?!
We say screw it! What's the point of having mistletoe if not to inappropriately and drunkenly make out with your co-workers.
Christmas comes but once a year!

Don't worry .. no one wants to kiss you anyway, Ghost Writer
perez have a mistletoe salad, great with oil and vinegar
haha well im british and i have never heart of this etiquette authority!
Dont worry, were not dull. im sure no-one will listen to this 'advice' anyway.
refined and proper people!ha which britain have you been to?
If you think the British are "refined and proper", go to the city centre of Newcastle (or any other city for that matter) on a Friday or Saturday night. You'll see a lot of "class" from the ladies who are passed out in their own vomit and the gentlemen being arrested for public intoxication.
Great… so you plan on making out with your co-workers (your sister) Perez… nice…
"What's the point of having mistletoe if not to inappropriately and drunkenly make out with your co-workers." hahahah. so true!
Yeah, I'm sure all the binge drinking girls and guys having bar fights consulted the authority. Side Note. Why does that guy from Twilight always look like he smells like B.O. and dirty scalp?

You're right. The critics hate New Moon.
Here's the catch .. it made $140.7 million dollars domestic .. in 3 days .. plus $258 million worldwide.
EEWWW…. who the hell says that you are supposed to make out under a mistletoe..
you can kiss on the cheek that is the rule to begin with you only kiss on the lips the person you are with . hello??!!
and who cares about swine flu. what about HERPES aka Cold Sores..
I'm British, and whoever this etiquette company is, no one has heard of them or listens to them. As for being refined and proper, the vomit stains on my curtains beg to differ.
hey isn't that why they made swine flu vacanations to keep it from spreading, so kiss away Perez
so you would kiss anyone regardless of the diseases you could pick up? perez you never fail to show us how desperate you are
Re: Serena!!!COLON!!! You Twats! – are those the "Ladettes"I've seen pics of squating down and pissing on the sidewalk?
As shocking as that action is I once saw a woman in downtown Detroit hike up her skirt and crap against a wall!!!!!!!!!!!I was laughing and almost puking at the same time!
Re: x.x.linzi..pants.x.x – Your picture disturbs me. LOL!!
There is more to Britain than England, you Americans are so annoying when you refer to Britain as England There are 2 other countries make up Britain. (Wales and Scotland)
Your Victorian view of England is a little out of date. Whilst we are still better mannered than you, I think our days of 'doffing ones hat' are long gone. Unfortunately, British girls are the sluts of Europe (fact).
BTW, the ghost writer that's taken over this blog is a moron and needs to leave the confines of his/her house and travel a bit.

Debretts is an archaic institution that is trying to hold on to the past. they also annually publish a list of all of the gentry and aristocrats in britain, so the only people who care are gentry themselves. and no one else really cares…
you cock - firstly Britian is england SCOTLAND AND WALES. not just england you fat fuck. second - who are these etiquette police you're refering to? I've never heard of them. Have you ever even been to any of our countries?
Re: Debbie3001 – Don't be so harsh. The whole British/England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland/Ireland/British Isles/United Kingdom/Great Britian thing going on is a very unique setup and a lot of even educated people don't completely understand it. Even though England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are countries, they are also all part of the UK which is a country. Ireland is completely independent, but still part of the British Isles and many Irish consider themselves British. There is even mixed opions amound British people as to whether or not the British Isles are part of Europe. Most people automatically and naturally think of England when they think of Britian because the English culture has always been predominately showcased through the years and also because of London being one of the most, if not the most, famed city in the world.
I don't think even a dog would kiss you unless someone tied a pork chop around your neck.
'refined and proper'? What Britain are you talking about? You certainly haven't lived on it if you believe such crap. The Brits are like anyone else! For God's sake!
Re: RedWingsFan – Haha… that's classic!
Robert Pattison is doing the Russo. "If I kiss any one other than my wife, she might slug me……"
Hmmm….. Yup, his real-life girlfriend is HOT and real and won't put up with THAT media nonsense. Co-star friendships won't be jeopardized and ruin a good movie pair? Look what happened to Pitt and Jolie when they stopped making really great movies together and shagged up….. Colin Farrell got sub-burned. Whatever. Check the ears, I AM not lying……
Stay real. His girlfriend intimidates ME!! Guppy kisses only; uber-hot and talented co-star, I suggest!!! It might be wise, given Her obvious red-dreads I would guess the Celt would win…. Congrats on your success!!

refined and proper? Perez Britain has the highest rate for teenage pregnancies.
oh and Britain isn't just England, it's Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too, i hate the fact most Americans seem to think this.
LOL!
Are you really promoting the spread of the swine flu? Yeah one makeout with a co-worker can spread swine flu and other diseases…and possibly death. Smart.
lol never been to britain, have you perez? because you know fuck all i guess its the fact youre a stupid fat american who knows nothing about other countries (irony before all the americans start going mad at me). and you dont even know the difference between england and britain, oh dear
what a useless post! Like all the other Brits on here I have never heard of such an authority clearly nothing newsworthy was going on when you wrote this. And I have to agree with Debbie3001 Britain is NOT England, however I think Debbie3001 missed out N Ireland and a few other little islands dotted about although her point still stands.
Clearly nothing newsworthy was going on in America! Also I agree with most of the below clearly you have not been to the UK
Re: Serena!!!COLON!!! You Twats! – i love how americans have this bizarre archaic view of us, the other europeans who actually have to deal with average brits know better…..
Re: Mancunian – I'm an American ex-pat, and find the British have a distorted view of Americans as well.
Re: Serena!!!COLON!!! You Twats! – not quite as distorted as they have of us, i go to the us (mainly florida) and to canada to visit relatives. my cousin said that if she wasnt related to my dads side of the family she wouldnt know there were black people in britain. seriously.
Re: Mancunian – That's the problem with so many Brits. They've been to Florida a few times and, therefore, assume they know the US. They encounter one dumb person then stereotype an entire nation. The British perception of the US is completely distorted. I would say more so than America's perception of the British. I have lived in both countries for a great deal of time, and haven't just visited a few times.
That someone like yourself is void of both knowledge of and unable to practice etiquette is of no surprise.
Miss Manners (from America) has been advising on etiquette in hundreds of newspapers for over 30 years you troglodyte.
Thanks for the preview of your behavior at Xmas parties, sounds like you are the
mess of the party we all so dread.
errr im english and i've been to america, to different parts, new york, florida, wherever. and alot of them, not all, no matter how sophisticated they are still think that we're just a jolly old posh world of tea drinkers. when i went to miami some guy asked me if i lived near stonehenge. so both countries have sterotypical views of eachother. we think your all a bunch of hillbillys and u all think we drink tea with the queen and have terrible teeth! i mean this lightheartedly by the way i do love america!
Ah Perez I LOVE America but there isn't just England in the UK. There's Scotland and Wales (where I am from) that are the UK too.
Re: Dannette22 – 'you cock … you fat fuck. second - who are these etiquette police you're refering to? I've never heard of them.'
Gosh, Dannette, really? I'll try to contain my amazement.
Re: Serena!!!COLON!!! You Twats! – i dint say id been to florida once, ive been there for a lot of summers over the past 19 years of my life and to other places in the us ive got family as well as canada. in general canadians are a lot less stereotypical of us. emphasis on 'in general'
Re: gsygirl – I didn't miss out N. Ireland, this is part of the UK not Britain.
