Er, or is that a wedding? What do you throw at an engagement?

Sorry this is OT, but has anyone watched or listened to the Russell Peters stand-up bit, about how asians don't invite westerners to their weddings, because they throw the food around. He gave me a really good mental image, of an indian guy at a wedding throwing mashed potatoes at the bride and groom.

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to speak in gibberish.

It's funny because of London.
Yes she did, and she also told me that the best test of manners, was How well mannered you could be towards someone not so well mannered.

Could you explain the second Comment Please, I don't understand the un-explained part.

I had asked if 'a Cookie was a good thing, with a coffee' in a Code you haven't learned, yet? Me too, I haven't learned all that much of it all, just yet.
