point down a street that you happen to be passing and say something like "My cousin used to live down there." After that they usually leave you alone.
How on earth does that work? In what city are you cabbing?

Radler? More citrus than cloying honeyspice.

And there's the crux to me of the whole argument - what is due.
I'd say the balance has shifted historically from a role demanding respect, regardless of the performance or personality of the incumbent, to it being earned in the execution of a role or the living of a life. Our grandparents have a very different understanding of respect than our children do.
Mark, please do find some non-German perspectives on what mana means. At least re-read (re-spect?) Keri's brief post. It does encompass and shed light on a lot of what you were talking about.

Kingsland, right, Sofie? :)

With all due respect
And I love the way people say that just before they're about to be disrespectful, in general.

devil's advocaat
I like that too. :)

Victory gin?

"Best" is a damned good plug all right, Geoff. You can tell that these guys know more than they're letting on. I wonder how many searches for "nailing Lohan" will benefit Stuff's visitor count now? And why the site's advertisers would support its focus on celeb sex stories (just check the popular listing any day) if most of the readers of them are actually coming from overseas? What's the business model?
Sorry, this is probably too much like work right now. No pressure.
