    After having a gift I put a lot of thought into and went to a lot of effort to get for someone, go both unthanked and unacknowledged, I would add good manners to a gentleman's essentials. Manners really do maketh the man.

    Bad manners are very hard to overlook but free and easy to rectify.

    That's pretty crummy. Get the undeserving oaf something completely pointless next time like a loo brush or a box of blank video tapes.

    He's a new colleague and I thought he was having trouble settling in and that it might help him feel appreciated and welcome. I won't bother again! :)

    It was a lovely gesture. I hope it wouldn't put you off doing such a thing in the future.

    Is there any way he was just taken aback? Some people are just weird, of course!!

    No, I think he's just boorish. It's the general opinion, but I thought he might just be a bit aloof. Definitely just a bit weird!

    What is this nonsense? Post in a way that others can actually understand.

    to be honest I assumed that he was tipping his hat to people (not questioning the mod btw).

    back on thread:

    A gentleman should look after his physical health these day too. so some sort of sports equipment should be in order.

    A good a pair of runners and some fashionable but not garishly coloured training clothes.

    A large bank account if he is to meet the requirements of this thread!

    A true gentleman considers such things as keeping track of his bank balance as below him.

    How has the thread gotten this far without the mention of dueling pistols or swords?

    I would tend to agree with the pen, I can't use fountain pens properly due to left handedness unfortunately, but there are nice pens out there.

    You can get fountain pens w/ left-handed nibs, e.g., LAMY pens
