Passing the port
I'm still reading 'Watching the English' which is pretty interesting, though I think occasionally overstates its case.
Her suggestions as to which mannerisms come from which social class is interesting as it makes me aware of what I picked up from each of my parents (who came from fairly different backgrounds).
She comments on the custom of passing the bottle of port to the left around a table and says that no one has any idea where this custom originated. Well, my family never followed that particular custome, but I should have thought it was blindingly obvious where it originates.
It's got to be a pun. It it was called 'starboard' then we'd pass it to the right.

Fancy reading your Harry fic.? Well d'uh. That's a no brainer. 8-) Course I do!

Love the rogue and love RP-ing him too. He's even managed to creep into the current fic. I'm writing. I didn't plan it that way; it just sorta - happened... {g}
