Indeed. It is most saddening.

I think not. It would be most stereotypical and generic.

I do not believe the issue to be of importance.

Camomile or jasmine in bags. Earl Grey is highly overrated, and I suspect its popularity is mostly due to star trek. No milk. Sugar is optional. The key to excellent tea, though, is the water temperature. If the water is boiling when the tea is put in, it can damage the flavor. Whereas if it's too cold it doesn't absorb the flavor. So boil the water, then let it sit just long enough for the bubbles to stop, pour, and add tea immediately.

Properly tended, Earl Grey tea can be quite the delightful blend. The bergamot adds a most distinguished aroma to the cup. But I must say that a personal favourite would be a particular blend of rose tea that I have found in the possession of a select few merchants in Australia. It tastes and smells most exquisitely of Turkish Delight and has a charmingly pink hue.

While my archaeology took me to Turkey to uncover ancient ruins I sampled a delightful pomegranate tea. It was a speciality of those parts, I believe, and was most acceptable.

OK, what in Satan's name is going on here?

Did Bay12 suddenly become English?

If you must know, ruffian, the honorable sorts among us are finally embracing their true gentlemanliness. This should have happened years ago, but your kind has always sought to keep us lowly and vulgar as ever. But no more!

I would like to take this moment to proclaim that my personal avatar has a fifty percent chance to display a monocle, along with a divergent variety of headwear. The artistic prowess of Solifuge and GlyphGryph is to be thanked for this marvelous display.

Tut tut. That sounds like a sentence a revolutionary cur would utter while being put in their place by the Queen's constabularies. In fact, it would take only one word interchanged...

Greatorder, please do not invoke Lucifer's various names as it is boorish to speak of anyone without them being present. I find that it would interest you that being English is not a strict requirement for being "dapper" as others have put it, the Empire has many territories - some even dare say it is not a matter of serving the Empire, but a state of mind. I am one of them, by virtue of not having been born in its lands yet one of them regardless.

Ohmygod he's got a tiny little bowler hat! It's so adorable!
*Ahem*
I must say, old chap, your avatar's appearance in multiple forms of headwear shows you have an expansive taste in millinery.

[Shook]

What ho, fine sirs and ladies! I too am outraged by the lack of a bespectacled smiley, and thus shall attempt to make it happen. Unofficially, at least. I may not be the most eloquent of fellows, but i have been wearing a top hat for aeons!

[Sinlessmoon]

Gentlemen! I request to be allowed in this sanctum of utter gentlemanly nature.

[GlyphGryph]

* Sir Griffin makes a polite Kreeeeagh sound and devours some tea and crumpets, in as gentlegriffinly a manner as possible.

[freeformschooler]

Goodness, this is no way to be a gentleman. I fear I will choke on this monocle!

[Shook]

I say! Choking on monocles is not particularly pleasant, is it, old chap?

[Tomcost]

*A Waddle Dee enters the room, sits and grabs a crumpet, then takes it to its nonexistant mouth. The crumpet just passes through.

[Bauglir]

Greetings, friends! I've recently flown in from Grixis, and I must say that I've found my arms to be in a terrible state of fatigue as consequence.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Damn heathens.

I say, what a delightfully absurd assertion of nationality! English! Everybody knows that it's in vogue to be Scottish these days.

Let us point and laugh at this fellow's foolishness!

* MetalSlimeHunt mocks greatorder mercilessly.

[Guardian G.I.]

Good day, gentlemen.

I am most bewildered by the sight of the recent user picture trend (or, as some vulgar person would say, a fad) spreading among our fellow members of "The Twelfth Bay".

I've considered following suit, but I've decided to abstain. Instead, I proclaim that I have a great desire to follow the gentlemanly discussion taking place in this thread.

If I have interrupted anyone, I express sincere apologies.
