Being well dressed and mannered when family isn't as much

Years ago QE II was having a state dinner with some yokels who started to drink the soup out of the bowl. So she did the same so they wouldn't look like yokels.

If you're making people feel or look out of place you aren't well mannered.


Wow, never knew that, very interesting.

I'm wearing a Rolex right now, but I'm going to guess that it will not be in the top ten list ofthings that will prevent my entry through the cultured-pearly Episcopal gates.

For one thing, I like Rhone reds with seafood.

Other venal sins? Too numerous to count.

I'm feeling like my time is coming - can I get a ruling on a blue Tudor submariner on $20 dollar blue embossed-alligator grain calf strap or should I go for the IWC (SF-approved)?

I wouldn't ask RSS this question since he is still 97% AAAC.

Search for Moo. I am convinced that he is still out there, like in the mountains or something.

That is pure SF ( short for StyleForvm .)

True, true. I just couldn't wait to talk about my new AAAC approved JAB suit. Then I saw a couple of threads today that caused me to believe that SF is headding in an AAACly direction. That being so ... I'm headding back to London ... or maybe I'll try Naples ... just as long as my choice doesn't produce works that have the sack-suit look of one recent example I saw in photo form right here in Crimson River City.

Lets hope so ... otherwise life wouldn't be worth living.

You should get something made from the Shroud of Turin.

I'm thinking summer jacket with patch hip pockets.

Could be spendy/illegal.

Ask RA to cut it so the beard ends up on the breast patch.

It will be the shroud should I go with Mario ... but something made from one of Julian of Norwich's habits if I go with Richard.

Again people here making judgements need to understand that my community can be highly judgemental even when you do nothing wrong. I was glad to hear I wasn't the only one within the community who felt that way.

What is the "community"?

Not to worry ... my Camel/Needle/Over-rated-consumer-product verse is taken too seriously by some ... not seriously enough by others.

Personally ... I went with an IWC for my first serious watch purchase. But that purchase predates SF by several decades ... so could not have been SF-approved at the time. For all I know, my choices still may not be SF-approved -- I haven't a clue what is and isn't -- but that's of no concern.

So ... is there an actual Approved SF List?

Make sure to get a 4 piece. You can always leave the tabard at home in inclement weather.
