Pardon me!

In the Western world, audible burping / belching is considered impolite, although generally not as much as flatulence. Some people will cover the mouth with their hand in the same fashion as one used to guise a yawn. However, some cultures (for example, Bengalis) do not consider burping rude.
So, tell us, how is burping seen in your family? Is it rude? Humorous? Applauded? And do you ignore it, apologise or hide it? And if you do apologise what do you say?

Time to try a little bit of a limerick for good measure. We’ll see how good you all are. Limericks are five-line poems with a rhyme scheme of aabba. All you have to do is write the next line of the poem. When all five lines have been written, the next person can start another limerick. So here goes…
There once was a man from the East.

I am overhauling my herb bed today. I might be doing at completely the wrong time of the year but hey … it’s looking woody, dry and dead and I’d like some pots of fresh herbs to use in my cooking.
So, tell us, what herbs would you be planting to grow today? What herbs in cooking can’t you do without? And what herbs do you consider completely unnecessary?

1 across, verbal marital disharmony over newspaper competition - 9 letters.

Yep you got it CROSSWORD.
Or in our case cross words - which is what he sometimes throws at me when I get the clues as he reads them aloud. You know he’ll say “naval vessel, 11 letters starts with M.” And I’ll answer “minesweeper”. And he says “but you didn’t give me a chance to guess!” I have suggested he reads them to himself … but he says he wants my help, it’s just he’d like a guess himself first. Sheesh - talk about wanting your cake and eating it too!
So, tell us, would my habit of shouting out the daily crossword answer annoy the heck out of you too? Do you do a crossword at all? If you do, is it a family thing - or do you prefer peace and quiet to get on with it on your own? Personally, I’m ready for this evening’s 5.30 rematch, me, Simon and 1 across!!
