We’d be interested in your feedback on this one. It’s a little more on topic than previous episodes and much of that is focussed on confrontation: when is it all right to tell your fellow man (or chick) that their behaviour is unbecoming?

37 The Rules — Sausage wallets
October 22nd, 2007 · 2 Comments
Where to begin in a show in which Rhylla at various times utters the words “genital wart”, “pap smear” and “explosive diarrhoea”? And by-the-by Steven’s continuing his campaign to get old favourites like “bounder” and “sausage wallet” back into everyday speech.
But on a manners front, and that is what we’re all about, we talk about […]

Rhylla brings the full force of afternoon drinks in the office to bear on her answers; and Steven implores you […]

Steven’s mum, Sue, is back to tell him “you’re wrong”. You’ll have no trouble seeing where Steven gets his prescriptive streak.
We discuss manners on the train and if you should apologise for making a mistake. And Sue wants to know why you keep burdening her with your confidences.
It’s a short one for us — half […]

Recorded “as live” so no intro this week, we’re straight into the music then Steven wants to know why he can’t pass judgement; why he can’t go to a homosexual pub in Melbourne; and why Miss Rhylla doesn’t love him enough to remember what’s important.
