[Etiquette] Faux-pas from today's METRO

[dancefloorlandmine]

Apparently Esquire have compiled an updated modern-day etiquette guide for men, including such modern scenarios as cashpoint queues, clubbing, and urinals. However, on reading through some of the guidelines, it would appear that I'm failing substantially. I suspect that B-Movie could become the scene of much rule guideline-breaking ...

• Mouthing the lyrics of a song is as naff as playing air guitar - hmm ... we're not mouthing, we're singing! "I believe in justice..."
• When Wild Boys by Duran Duran is put on at a club, do not rush on to the dance floor but count to 20 and saunter. - Yeah, as if! [grin]

However, outside the clubbing arena, there is some fairly sensible advice, although there is also some pandering to the Lad tendency.

Even though I know it looks much more sexy and sophisticated to just dance to a song without singing along, sometimes I just can't help it!

I've never really been able to manage sexy and sophisticated on the dancefloor¹, so I've given up on that front and just aim for having a good time!

¹ Just realised that gives the bigheaded impression that I might erroneously believe that I'm sexy and sophisticated off the dancefloor. I don't. Silly and daft, perhaps, but I've always felt that sophisticated should involve culinary abilities, and less of a liking for poor puns.

Sexy, certainly!

[blush] Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

No, you're just hot.
