Beatrice sounds like a name that owns several hectares of land in the countryside and has extravagant houses in London. Here's an excerpt to which the name Beatrice fits like a hand in a (silk, in this case) glove:
"Pray tell, Beatrice, but where is your husband?"
"Oh, Johanna! He went to Totenham to hunt the poor, as he does every Thursday night!"

And Beatrice reminds me of an Italian girl. As in Italy.

Also reminds me of that mind screwy visual novel/anime series with a character named Beatrice.

Italian Beatrice reminds me of Much Ado about Nothing, which was (afaik) originally performed in London

Oh, please dearest friends, shall we not hijack the thread with pointless discussion on names?

How about Stratego the movie?

Lieutenant: "I can't wait to go back home to see my wife after this war is over."
Lieutenant moves forward ready to attack the other side but discovers a bomb and is blown up.
Major: "Damn it! Miner what the hell you doing back there behind the Captain? Get to the front lines"

Very good joke

I can't find any reasonable way to disagree with this.

I really and truly don't know where to draw the line on a lot of this stuff. But frankly, I don't want to be anywhere near the line! I don't want to be "borderline creepy"; I don't want to be juuuuuust about on the right side of the line. I want to be waaaaay the hell over there, in the unambiguously Good segment of the line. It just seems obvious to me that it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to this stuff.

 

[Kyriakos]

You have to keep on moving even so, though, cause so is the line

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Yeah, social norms change all the time. I think I've lived long enough to be able to say that with certainty.

Possibly the most British post ever:

Look. Sex is a messy business however you look at it. Leave it to the experts, I say. That's why we have experts: to deal with this sort of thing.

Classic Mr. B.

 

[Borachio]

Aww. Let me say: getting quoted in this thread is VERY pleasing to me. I could say it's almost sexy.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

I take it you plan to reference this success in future dating efforts? After all, as we have learned, it is all about sex, so surely, that is the only explanation for your pleasure. Well that and Mise's sexy avatar.

 

[Borachio]

Erm. I hadn't planned on it, no.

"Hey babe! Just take a look at this forum thread. Now, will you come to bed with me?"

I can't see this meeting with much success, tbh.

Though I am on occasion willing to try almost anything, looking sad and lost has so far proved my most successful technique.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Must be a genetic mutuation, then.

Summing up the illogic of the Iraq War

If your objective is to kick over a hornets nest, kill their queen, then make them elect a new queen that likes you, no amount of bug spray is going to get that accomplished.

 

[Kyriakos]

So you're had having saying that I've been had meaning there is have?

Err you're saying that that is an actual thing people say?

Propah english
