    i never say it and i hate when people say it to me as i feel obliged to say something back, like thanks or something.. what i really want to say is "fuck off i'm an atheist" but that might be deemed rude.. like people who talk to you while your trying to eat your lunch and reading a newspaper.. they're rude also... as are people who insist on talking to you when its clear you have headphones on and by the time you press mute you realise all they've done is pass comment on the fucking weather just for smalltalk...
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    to negate a blessing when i sneeze i usually say "fuck" or "fuckin' 'ell".
    i have also been known to tell people to "please dont bless me"

    i actually should say to people "dont bless me" but if i did they'd either get embarrassed or angry... it must be a manners thing as no-one in my side of the family ever say it :confused: and yet Mrs Dunks side all say it.. and they are quite snobbish about stuff.. when i met my wife i had no idea what piece of cutlery to eat with which course... why have 9 types of fork and sharp knifes, cheese knives, butter knives, normal dinner knives... boring!!

    because religion keeps people stupid?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    That's pretty much what I was going to say but I decided not to originally.

    It's just a saying. I don't know the origins of it but nowadays, it's just manners. It's not a big deal. You lot must be a riot at parties. :D;)

    the origin of it is in this thread... its about your soul escaping and such and such.

    my family are uncouth.. her family have ideas above their station... it can make it quite fun :D

    Actually, I have heard that before.

    My inlaws use more than one knife at meal times, my family just sit and eat dinner on their laps in front of the TV. I love sitting down to a proper meal and chatting. They don't say 'bless you' though. MY family does but his Catholic family just ignore me when I say it. So it really has nothing to do with religion anymore.

    I understand it dates back to the Plague when if you sneezed it was believed you may have it.

    And that your eyes will pop out of your head if you don't shut them when you sneeze. I'd like to try that one but it's so difficult! You automatically shut your eyes, like some of us automatically say 'bless you' or 'atissue'. ;):D
