Kissing friends and stuff...

four if it's the boss................

Surely as a good Crowite trade unionist it's a Glasgow kiss for the boss?

In my case it would be, but for some (crawlers) they kiss their ass.

My BiL has a handshake like a warm wet plaice (Note the 'i'). Makes me feel grubby shaking his hand.

Yes, now you come to mention it, I know some like that. Not BiL, he is fine. But my mind thinks should I continue shaking or kiss the bliddy thing? Limp warm and wet (sweaty) makes me heave .... REALLY .... I know, I'm odd.

I'll do the kissing thing in France. Here I nod and say alright.

To do it properly you have to do an exxagerated "mwah mmwwaaaah" doesnt work quite so well for guys on their male bosses or colleagues though!

I never know which side to go for, so I tend to lightly hold the upper arm of the other person and go for that side - usually their left cheek.

I usually kiss their faces Maz, but each to his own....

What, with tongues!?

I usually kiss their phaeces Maz, but each to his own....

Er, I hope that's not true, AT!

 

[Crackle]

Oh, Crackle, so lovely to see you!! <clings on to sleeve, lunges forward>

I might make a reluctant exception for you Baggy, just so long as you understand my reluctance, shave and don't drink any tea.

Since the childhood trauma of receiving tea-flavoured, wet, whiskery kisses from an elderly rellie I'm much more of a handshake and hug kind of girl. I'm also at that kind of age where I'm a bit whiskery and starting to smell of tea...

It was the tea that really did it for me, if I'm honest.
The whiskers added a certain frisson too.

This is really amusing

I worked for so long in continental climes that a quick three (yes - Swiss excesses ) cheek pecks has become just normal with most colleagues. More amazing is that a good number of my Scottish (male) colleagues have also lived in Switzerland so long that it's the usual greeting when I I meet them even in the UK - which does bemuse UK colleagues as we (me, a Yorkshire woman) go through the whole hugging and kissing routine.

I will hazard a guess that you don't work on the rigs as a welder.

I'm a kisser, always have been, even kiss my customers. Man hugs are so passe dahling, man kissing Italian/French stylee is where it's at ... Pucker-up!

Man contact is so far over the line it aint true ,, even hugs are a tad dodgy , a good firm hand shake is all that is required sir,

No sense of adventure, some people...
