back, even less interesting than before

and while it's probably bad form to have my first post since australia be a request: would anyone happen to have anything by The Triffids? they're a depressing and depressed eighties band from australia, whose albums are extremely elusive even there. ;_;

Welcome back! ^_^ I hope it was an enjoyable trip?

I tend to use bad form mainly when I can't think of any particular reason or qualification for something that is not cricket or beyond the pale in a situation when neither of these comparisons would be appropriate (for instance when the sport in question is football and someone has unprepentantly dived to get a defender sent off by the referee kayu) - just have a fondness for the latter quaint expressions.

thank you! and yes, enjoyable enough. ^_^

not cricket! how delightful; i don't think i've ever heard anyone use that phrase, outside novels. :D to me, at least, bad form is a little different from the two phrases you mention (not as strong as beyond the pale, for instance), but i can see how it might apply in cases such as the example you gave.
