There is still an alarming amount of doiley use today-how come we can blog at State dinners-but can't come up with a spiffy alternative to the dreaded doiley? what next?P.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-59387528844275746882010-02-21T12:25:41.188-05:002010-02-21T12:25:41.188-05:00I'd file this in the bin marked "just bec...I'd file this in the bin marked "just because you can, should you?"home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-38367041672731305532010-02-21T10:11:54.760-05:002010-02-21T10:11:54.760-05:00We've had to attend a couple of horrible busin...We've had to attend a couple of horrible business dinners, and one formal dinner. The formal dinner wouldn't have been so bad, except someone hit on the idea of seating me and my wife at a table with a fellow who'd taken the pledge and was everything but gracious about it. His wife and daughter were still drinking, at least, and they established an admirable, almost athletic pace, while he glowered at everybody.I guess he had to show up because he was one of the trustees, or to drive his family home.<br />I happened to mention something about university outreach in the surrounding poor communities, unaware that it was the equivalent of poking a bobcat with a stick.<br />"This school has done too much for the community already," he said.<br />When they brought the generic white wine around to fill our glasses, I begged them to leave the<br />bottle on the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-50032485891222096882010-02-21T05:11:05.567-05:002010-02-21T05:11:05.567-05:00AD - maybe that's what the corgis' tea loo...AD - maybe that's what the corgis' tea looks like?<br /><br />Vir -I did find out that he was writing his report for Beijing. I imagine the poor man was between a rock and hard place : either to be sent to repair The Great Wall or sent to The Tower. I am afraid the answer was, he should have stayed in his office. I do wonder if Beijing knew he was scribing at the Queen's table?Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-24452973607584131422010-02-20T23:15:21.908-05:002010-02-20T23:15:21.908-05:00Shockingly poor form.

Even at the dinner or breakfast table that would be a no-no -let alone a formal occasion such as that!<br />Do they use paper doilies at the palace?? that seems a bit tacky....i much prefer a clean white napkin folded to fit the tray. I am one of the rare people who LOVES the nibblies at a cocktail hour....drinking without food is generally a BAD idea.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.com
