I get side cramps after all the laughs from his pretentious posts too! I am forever indebted to our resident aristocratic Brit!!! 
But methinks ThinGorjus' taste buds have slipped recently:
Posted by TG on 05/28/2003: The last time I was in Roma, I stayed on Via G. Amendola, which is one block over from Termini. [I thought she always stayed at the Hassler]
Also posted on 05/28/2003: I have stayed a week on Capri, and could have stayed a month. Put on your Killer Loop sunglasses, throw yourself into a chair at a cafe in the piazetta, have a Campari, and take it all in. [KILLER LOOPS?!?! Ray-bans!!! Say it ain't so TG!!!
Especially when compared to this other infamous post: "And remember, one of the most important accessories you can choose are your sunglasses. Versace, Chanel, Loewe, Balenciaga, and Cutler & Gross are de rigeur."
I laugh food out every time TG chimes in on fashion postings:
Fannypacks?? You Americans have big enough behinds without adding those ridiculous contraptions to your physiques.
One would never wear white flannel trousers with black shoes, ira. One would wear white bucks or white and tan saddle shoes. It is obvious you were never at Harrow.
The air hostesses wear a horrid brown jumper that does nothing to aid to their physical attractiveness
You wouldn't wear a mink and diamonds to the Tate in the afternoon, would you? You also wouldn't wear jeans for dinner at Le Violon d'Ingres. Use common sense. Dress your age, also. If you are young, you can get away with anything. If you are old and fat, you will look daft in tight jeans and white trainers.
So you are going to wear a mask for the entire flight? How are you going to eat or drink? Are you going to use the toilet? You can't live in a plastic bubble, John Travolta, now can you??? I think you are safe flying to Italy
Running shoes will be fine for Italy. I wore running shoes (silver & black Nike) while I was in Rome and all the Italian teenagers I met thought they were cool. I think white Keds would be VERY uncool, however. Style counts, sweetie darling.
Question: Need help FAST on what ladies wear to tea at Brown's
TG: A big Philip Treacy hat and an empty Mark Cross purse. (Your lady-in-waiting carries your money for you.)
I will never forget standing in line at Peretola Airport in Florence when a man cut in. Two women, a Brit and an Indian, very well dressed, with Louis Vuitton luggage, not only verbally chastised the man, but the Indian woman hit him with her Longchamp purse. He went to the back of the line.
I agree with the poster who stated that you can wear whatever you want as long as you know how to be stylish. (Remember Jackie Onassis in jeans, Valentino belt, Pucci shirt unbuttoned, and her big, black sunglasses??? She looked fabulous.) Some people can carry things off, others can not. But, the rule is that if you want to wear jeans, wear them on the weekend if you don't want to stand out and look like you are from Iowa. Also, you are more likely to get away with jeans the YOUNGER you are. Jeans with a big belly hanging over your belt is no way to go through London.
If you are young, thin, and sylish, you can wear anything. If you are older and have bad legs, don't wear shorts or capri pants--you will look ridiculous because the Spanish have great bodies. They also wear their clothing very close to the body, nothing baggy. If you really want to fit in, wear stylish, strappy sandals and tie a cashmere sweater around your shoulders. Carry a BIG purse with short handles. And remember, one of the most important accessories you can choose are your sunglasses. Versace, Chanel, Loewe, Balenciaga, and Cutler & Gross are de rigeur. Spanish women also paint their toenails. (But, don't paint them the same color as your fingernails. This is a major faux pas
And my personal favorite (somehow fashion-related):
Susan, shouldn't your name be "Callgirl Susan?" Now go put your JC Penney skirt on and go stand on the corner. Meow.

Here's some of his opinions on destinations:
If you can't get a dry Stoli martini, or find a celebrity hair stylist, then the country is third world, sweetie darling.
Capri a nightmare??? You must be one of those daft relatives of W. Capri is one of the most magical places in the world.
Darling, of course you need a pool!! Are you daft?? Don't listen to some of these battery chickens who do their holidays on the cheap. YOU NEED A POOL!
I hate Sorrento, but LOVE Capri. But, I am rather posh. Many people don't like Capri because it has a "scene." You will see scads of the international jet setera walking around in their Tod's or Ferragamo's.
I have been to Luzern, and while I think the scenery around the city (and Lac Leman) is pretty, the town itself is a horrid tourist trap. There is nothing culturally redeeming about Luzern. If you want to walk around a Disney-like setting, that is fine?I think the kind of people who like London, Paris, Rome would not like Luzern. However, if you like pokey little places like Stratford, Brugge, or Garmiche, you would probably like Luzern. Different strokes for different folks, as you Yanks say.
Believe it or not, I, Thingorjus, madcap heiress, darling of the international jet set, have been to Bari!! Upon arriving in Bari, we were petrified for our lives! I thought we would be murdered and our bodies thrown into the Adriatic. Everyone we met looked so unsavory and they all had rotten teeth...So, don't be frightened when you first catch sight of Bari. Everyone we encountered was a living doll.
While Naples is very backward (I will never forget the time I was driving behind a pickup truck with a bride and groom sitting on dinette chairs in the back--she in white dress and veil, he in white tux with brown socks.) and you can get robbed at knifepoint on the train, I think you will be fine there if you just don't wander around in strange neighborhoods after dark. Naples has fantastic food, the people are friendly, and you will never see so much laundry hanging from people's windows. It is an experience that you should NOT miss.
TG as the authority on dining as well:
Cafe Florian in Venice and Cafe Brasiliera in Lisboa. Why? Because I said so, and I have very good taste.
Bagel affairs (sounds kinky) at the Connaught?? Zagat's rates the restaurant at the Connaught among the best in London. I can't believe they would give you an old ham bagel for tea. A place that has a wine list that includes vintages that cost more than a new car does not serve stale pieces of toast, sweetie
Hotel opinions:
When you go to breakfast, there is a person who stands near your table and takes away the bits of paper when you open your Sweet & Low packet. Every staff member bows when they see you and says hello with a smile and engages you in conversation on your day. Your room is straightened by the maid every time you go in and out. Your bath products are replace every day, even if you have half a tube of toothpaste left. Your bathroom has 15 towels, at least. When you send your laundry out, it comes back wrapped like a Christmas gift. I could go on and on. All this is what makes a hotel 5-star for me.
A four-star hotel in London for $100 a night during summer holiday??? Are you daft??? You can't even sleep in a wazzer for that price, sweetie.
Airline posts by TG:
I don't know about their hiring procedures, but someone has to put a stop to their employment of slags to push the drinks cart. What a bunch of bloody scrubbers! It is also horrid when you are flying first class and your air hostess sounds like she used to work the docks in Hartlepool. Where is Prunella Scales when you need her?????
Re passing time on flights: Another thing I like to do is chat up the gay flight attendants on the plane (there are always at least 3) and talk about what Karen was wearing on the latest episode of Will & Grace.
I want my grocer to be profitable, that is why I am willing to pay a mark up of 300% for a jar of jam or stick of butter???? I want the government to pay off the National Debt, that is why I am willing to pay huge amounts of taxes?? Some of you on this forum are DAFT if you feel sorry for the airlines. BOO HOO, sweetie. You are as dim as Amanda de Catanay.
Other classy posts by the highest member of the jet-set society:
Hey, Milkshake....up your ronson, you mingin geezer
You'll get over it, Nicegal. Afterall, I am on my 14th husband and I have never looked back. I am sure you will meet someone new soon. But, that person will surely not be Armand. Armand is a fat, bald person's name. Try and meet someone rich and thin.
Work is the curse of the drinking class. I may be in the gutter but I am looking up at the stars. These two quotes of Oscar Wilde have sustained me during my 16 trips to the Betty Ford Clinic.
Thanks Gorjus, may you stay thin forever!!! 8-)

Ummmmm.....it's Dom Perignon, not Don Perignon. Sheesh. And it is thingorJus, not gus...that is a fat man's name. I'm glad I amuse you, but, frankly, I think you have to be a kook to go through all my posts and paste them here. You have WAY TOO MUCH time on your hands, sweetie.....AND FINALLY...I am a HE not a SHE. No woman could ever be this fabulous.
What is wrong with Killer Loop sunglasses??? I saw Lee Radziwill wearing a pair at Quo Vadis last Thursday. Ta. Cheers. Ciao. Adios.
