You, sir, shouldn't you replace someone in a certain Mafia game? Hmph?

Err... not really, as far as I know. I've been told there might be an opening for a substitution, and that I was a candidate for it; but nothing definite.

And considering I had to travel to Brussels, then fly to Ireland to pass by Cork, then do some training in Dublin, then fly back to Antwerpen to meet with a friend coming from Berlin and show him the area, then Gent and Brussels, and finally catch a 14 hour bus back home for Christmas; I've requested to be left out of mafia games until after Christmas.
Ten days to fulfill Momo's extra-special secret mission...shhh, it's a secret (if you can help, please ask for mission instructions - I need 8 super-secret elves)

Nope, have a glass of this excellent Pinot Noir before you go!
I was just thinking, for no particular reason whatsoever. Isn't politeness great? Sometimes, it even allows me to say something!
Mission update! 7 mission elves needed ;-p

A little... the 'wandering' part of my title is not for show. A lot less this year though, I'm getting sick of Belgium. Plus it's quite expensive.

Sad indeed.

I come from a rather "rude" country, meaning that while we do use please and thank you, we typically don't beat around the bush with many pleasantries and are rather direct. Kinda loud, too. We normally wouldn't get offended by those, but traveling as much as I do, I sametimes get weird looks for being too direct while talking. It's a bit hard for me to keep that in mind. And I find the empty pleasantries of strangers quite annoying, but I do my best to put up with them.

It's all a matter of habit, I suppose. In some places, pleasantries are standard and not using them is rude. In other places, pleasantries are only used when you really mean them, and nobody will care if you don't use them.
...And now I killed the discussion. This is what I get for chatting while working before breakfast.

I work in the hospitality industry, so I get tired of overused pleasantries sometimes. :p

Also, how did I know when you said you were creating a new thread, it would be a giveaway thread?
