Re: A Gentleman's London

^ An interesting find, thank you. Never heard of that before.

I've had this from Fortnum's:  http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-5129.aspx    - Very nice. It burns with a pure Blue flame. Something for the Polish Gentleman perhaps.


... Random:

Pragmatism is probably the most Gentlemanly trait - A Gentleman being a survivor above all else. This opens the door for that ruthless streak that they all have.
They are great games players, but not sportsmen - An important distinction.
What is often confused as them caring about other people's feelings is in fact nothing of the sort. They just know what to say & when to say it. And they will say whatever suits them at the time. What looks like good manners is really just good politics.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.
