I expect british men to be gentlemen.
I was taught at college they were so.ha ha ha:)susa

[marcus]

Ah, well, we've done very well over the centuries making it *look* as though we are, but actually we are all cads and bounders. Have you ever read 'Flashman'? If not, I highly recommend it. That will show you the *true* nature of British men. It's the public school system, you see...(fortunately, I didn't go to a public school, so I am more civilised than those of my compatriots who did)All the bestMarcusPS: who's only joking - of *course* we are all gentlemen - and, as I said, I was making fun of John, not you...

[John]

I take the blame. I was making fun of Isa for making fun of Hephaistion. But I guess it wasn't really Hephaistion, it was Tom Tiun. My mistake.John

[susa]

Thanks. I'll try to read Flashman. But mind you that i'm terribly disillusioned now.... about the brits....

Indeed? Never make fun of me, or thou shalt bemoan thy fate.

OK OK Call off the dogs!John

[marcus]

Susa,Well, when you read Flashman your disillusionment will grow - but it is only fiction, remember that!But please don't be disillusioned - I was only joshing you. But as I said, it's that darned public school system... doesn't teach young men to communicate with ladies, y'see...All the bestMarcus

[susa]

Nor teach them ladies to communicate with them young men, i suppose?;)susa

[marcus]

Have the ladies not *always* known *exactly* how to communicate with the male of the species, Susa? Then again, until relatively recently the gels weren't supposed to communicate - just so long as the tea was on the table...All the bestMarcus

[susa]

MarcusNow u got me. The tea, yes. I forgot about the tea. It-¦s in us ladies-¦ genetic structure already... To serve.... bloody genes....
