Two stories today, a silly one for the "Sex in the City Generation" and the other one a much more moving story from the sunny city of Llanelli.
So, how many people are not longer sure of what just is accepted etiquette in todays society...?? Well, good news, Good Housekeeping magazine have come up with a list of Do's and Don'ts for good etiquette. For instance, showing the top of a thong and using the loo while your other half is showering fall under things you shouldn't do. And though SitC is fairly open about sex and sexuality it is still poor form to ogle other men while with a partner and women should not reveal details of their sex life.
DON'Ts:
Kiss anyone other than your partner on the lips
Kiss a boss, plumber or doctor or anyone you have a professional relationship with
Argue loudly in public
Steal from your partner's plate; order chips yourself
Stretch out in a gym changing room without clothes on
Quibble over a group restaurant bill
Use a smiley face in an e-mail
Write anything in an e-mail you wouldn't be prepared to say to someone's face.
DOs
Answer an invite to dinner as soon as you can, not on the morning of the party
Serve food within an hour of guests arriving or they will be too drunk to eat
Avoid serving food which has been the subject of a recent food scare
Invite your former spouse to your wedding - and even better manners for them to be unable to make it
Where children are involved, maintain exquisite manners when referring to your ex.
Drat, I use smiley faces in my emails....... naughty, naughty me!!!!
Talking of smiles, twins from Llanelli beat 50,000 other contestants to win That's Life magazine's "Best Smile" award. What makes them so special is that they suffer from Field's Condition a condition so rare that it is named after the twins themselves.
They suffer from a rare neuromuscular disease, and aged only eleven they have to spend most of the time in wheelchairs, but still stay cheerful...... sometimes it makes you wonder......
