    I guess it’s just when they suddenly pull themselves away from the pearly gates once the referee decides that he’s not having it, and God decides to personally intervene and restore their souls back to them.

  • Tea party etiquette depends on the customs and accepted standards of behaviour of a given time period and place. 1900 etiquette demonstrated etiquette to be linked with conservative and rigid gender roles.[9] Manners were of utmost importance in the proper conduct of men and women in early tea parties.[9]

    There are several rules of etiquette noted during the 19th and 20th centuries. Various rules of etiquette included:

    1. Learn to be patient[10]
    2. Restrain your temper[10]
    3. Refrain from speaking in anger[10]
    4. Silence is more valuable than speech[10]

  • Even the delays people always rag on DB is really not that bad

    No, it is. Go to the UK or Spain and try their trains there. Miles better. Delays of maybe a few minutes on average.

    It spills over too. People avoid getting the Eurostar to Germany because although the UK-France connection is solid, anything after that is just a big fat question mark.

    Hell even getting a train to the airport in Germany comes with a huge time risk. You just don’t get that stress-inducing level of planning uncertainty in other developed countries with train systems as you do with the DB
